Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., received a day-long ban from speaking on the House floor today, and the comments he had made were removed from the record, after he violated House rules with a personal attack on Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. "I have never seen truth stood on its head more rapidly than my colleague from Texas [just did]," Frank said today after Hensarling spoke on the House Floor. "For the gentleman from Texas -- having been part of the leadership that engaged in that shameful maneuver -- to now accuse us of being excessively concerned with credit is the most hypocritical and dishonest statement I have heard uttered in this House." Before making those remarks, Frank had earlier akncowledged that "you may not accuse anyone else of being disingenuous, under the House rules." http://campaign2012.washingtonexami...house-barney-frank-banned-speaking-day/416251
LOL Barney Frank, Chief Architect of the Housing Crisis. He shouldn't be told to shut up. He should be thrown in a prison cell along with the rest of Congress both left and right.
What i found funniest about this story is that the house actually has a rule that you can not accuse anyone else of being disingenuous........ What a dumb fucking rule..... The whole lot of them, Republicans, and Democrats are ALL DISNGENUOUS, so they set a rule for themselves that you cant call another person a hypocrite, because they know that they are all a bunch of disingenous shitheads(regardless of side) and none of them want to be exposed for the ass holes that they really are. I find it funny that they actually had to set a rule against questioning the other sides motives..... The rule was made because they all know EXACTLY how questionable their behaviour is.....
