3. Good to know.

Thank God we have Franken. Sounds like the bankers don't want these firms to be properly evaluated by the rating agencies because their ratings and stocks will tank. Shame on Barney Frank for protecting the bankers on this.

Valuable report Cenk.

5. I called Frank's office to log my complaint

(202) 225-5931 It's easy to do.

Thank goodness for Franken. My support for him was well placed!

Al during the Colman fiasco. Barny has two of the fastest feet in the DLC Kabuki theater co.. Let these gross injustices be burned in our memory forever so that we are never fooled again by his "oh woe is me" act while fiddling behind the scenes in dlc power rooms.

17. Transparency they didn't want
you to have. Kabuki theater is right. If they don't rein in abuses on Wall Street we will have another crash, this time there will be no bail out possible. Fucking greedy assholes.

15. I vote we just call it a sewage plant (a plant that manufactures sewage) rather that treating it.)

11. Somebody throw some water on Barney Frank to see if he melts.
Edited on Wed Jun-16-10 03:53 PM by ooglymoogly
Barney Frank is cooked and a phony in my book. I will now join the wagons circling Al Franken though I have alway supported Al from the moment he began speaking out and even before on SNL. Al is presidential material. Barney has shown his true colors in the last few weeks and they are not a pretty site. He is losing his key constituency; The progressives, and especially the gay progressives who stuck by him through thick and thin, because they thought he was something he is not; An honest person.

Picks and cleans his finger nails while giving his answers and looks like he is having a bowel movement?

24. Why is that such a difficult consideration? Don't let the ratings
agencies collect a paycheck from the banks for giving them the scores they want.

why? The proposed interview topic could seem really benign and then...

27. Stop fighting, here, watch this free counseling!
Here is a nice lesson in non-violent communication from the US Social Forum, an interview with Miar Alight from Non-Violent Communications based in the Bay Area.
