Man,Barny Franks knows law!

He hammered the repugs on the T.S case today!He was on george steph. show with a can't recall the repugs name.He blasted repugs for their win at all costs mentality.It was a beautiful thing!

His sister is as well.

the incredibly articulate, always pleasant, Dem spokesperson Ann Lewis.

Terrible tragedy in the family a few months ago. Ann's daughter was murdered, possibly/probably/definitely(?) by her husband.

Smart, tough, funny, slam-dunk re-electable liberal and gay to boot!
:toast: :yourock: :loveya:

was until today.I was very impressed.

Not sure if it was the law school or not.

A.B. from Harvard College, 1962; J.D. from Harvard Law, 1977, while serving in the Massachusetts state legislature.

Each election year The Washingtonian magazine surveys Congressional staffers to pick the winners (or losers) among our legislators in various categories. In 2004, in the category "Brainiest", Frank was the top-scoring House Democrat. The magazine reported that the voting was on partisan lines, with Bill Thomas the "overwhelming choice" of Republicans and Frank of the Democrats.

There may be some DUers who care less about "Brainiest" than about who in each chamber topped other categories, like "No Rocket Scientist". Full results here: http://www.washingtonian.com/inwashington/bwcongress.html

was Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla.

He holds a degree in science but has never used it so I don't feel like he qualifies.

did you think frank did well also?

The right wingers were calling Kerry "Lurch" last year, and they have this idiot on their team?

Barney would be a good presidential candiate? He certainly seems very presidential to me....just thinking out loud....perhaps the sister could serve in a prominent cabinet post (shades of Jack and Bobby Kennedy...) maybe I am just dreaming here?

It'd be a sure winner--all the freepers heads would explode into little tiny pieces the minute they were nominated. After that, it's a cakewalk!
:evilgrin:

The repugs don't really want to go up against Barney in a debate....and that includes Hannity and O'Really?

Too bad Kerry didn't win last November...
