Barney Frank Is Leaving....I Wish Him.....................!

     Say it isn't so Barney.   Tell us you were only kidding when you announced you would not go after another term in Congress.     Why Barney.....why?   Is it because you suddenly realized you were going to get your more than ample butt handed to you in the next election?   Is it because your grasp in Washington was weakening every term?    Were you running out of people to insult?  Maybe it's because after 16 terms in Congress, you  suddenly realized that's about 14 more terms  than you ever deserved.

     Barney Frank is a very bright guy....I mean extremely bright.  If you don't believe it,  just ask him.   He's very articulate (assuming you can understand his mumble-mouth articulation) and you don't want to be on the opposite side of the table during a debate with him.   And there-in lies the problem.  He is the epitome of the extremely bright lefty loony liberal who is always debating...and challenging.   From the day he got into politics (and I was there) he was an insufferable, arrogant, pudgy guy who constantly wanted to remind everyone, and I mean everyone, everywhere.... he was the brightest person in the room...always.     If you were contrary to his views, there was never a discussion about possibly changing his mind....it was always, always, always pontification from this snotty angry man about how stupid your argument was.

     I'm sure there is something he's done well for the Commonwealth, but whatever that something may be, there is a boatload of Bad Barney out there too and I for one, believe Congress will not miss this pompous bag of wind and I wish him......................gone?
