Barney has another press conference today on his retirement. I'm hoping there's a traveling show.

That was Barney Frank's fault? Whew -- thanks for clarifying that.

I thought it was ACORN and that relentless singing inside bank offices.

He was so smart that he used mind control to hypnotize the Republicans who controlled Congress.

On the list of causes of the housing bubble, Frank is somewhere below Le Corbusier and above Jack Ruby.

On the list of Democrats Republicans like to demonize, Frank is somewhere north of Ted Kennedy's ghost and south of the Kenyan President - in other words, top 3!

Hint: this has nothing to do with housing

They would blame 9/11 on him, but that's taken.

He wants to make way for the far more financially astute Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, to take over the Financial Services Committee.

In fairness, this is one of those occasions, like Santorum, or Bachmann, where a politician has said so many shockingly stupid things, that even though flagging Congressmen for stupidity is like handing out speeding tickets at NASCAR events, a unique level of idiocy should be noted. Along with the irony in her running a financial oversight committee.

But if you wish to defend her financial shrewdness by noting she was smart enough to arm twist a few banks to help her husband financially (look it up) while avoiding ethical sanction, I'll hear your case.
