Not to Finger-Point, But…
Discussion around the recent Washington bailout/rescue package ranges from pure and total disgust/absolute amazement to head-scratching confusion. Some folks are just plain sick of the whole subject. It’s just another prime example of Federal Government incompetency at the highest of levels.
And to think that there are people out there who want the Federal Government running the health care system.
There’s even this guy running for president who thinks that’s a good idea. And a bunch of fans who applaud when he mentions such craziness. (Oops.. I mean “change“)
Anyhow… Bush, Obama, McCain, Biden and Palin are hogging the argument spotlight for evil incarnate or second-coming. (Depending on your team spirit)
What about former Fannie Mae chief, Franklin Raines? I don’t think this gem of human flesh deserves to be knocked out of the American Douche-Bag Top 10 list. While there is a no shortage of blame to go around for this financial toilet swirl… it’s really hard to let go of the following:
Raines’ total compensation from 1998 through 2004 was $91.1 million, including some $52.6 million in bonuses, according to OFHEO. (Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight)
If there was ANY justice in this world… this slimey piece of human garbage would be OJ’s cell-mate right about now. Maybe someday. It only took 13 years for OJ to finally get his.
To truly appreciate this torrid tale of incompetency, please take 9 minutes out of your life to view the following. And please consider this the next time you hear people going on and on about “change.”

Hanki,
Right on … anyone that has looked into the “bailout” can trace back to several times where Barney Frank has stood upright, looked America in the eyes and proclaimed, “Everything is just fine …. now I’m going wabbit hunting.” .

…and by “rabbit hunting” I mean luring young boys to my apartment brothel.
What the f*@% is in the water up there in Massachusetts? Kennedy, Kerry, Frank????
Tony
That’s not water Mr. Kennedy is drinking… and as for what Frank is drinking….
To Kennedy, water is for the end of a car ride, not to consume.
That’s right I went there!

So much for a website with thoughtful discussion and debate. C’mon John. I expect better from you.
You are much better when your funnies have a basis and are relevent.

I too have played a part in the Barney Frank, bashing. The bashing will continue, but only over his policies.
I harbor no ill will towards his orientation, but I am human and sometimes attack where it is easiest.
I think you left out the part where it said “Punk Rock Attitude” … but I lean towards 70’s glam and goth… so I should be a bit more sensitive to others….
My bad.
Since it is true confession time … I call my redneck friends …. rednecks. But I am sure that no one else here has ever done such a thing.
PS. I still think Palin would look hot in fetish wear,,,, does that offend anyone?
CARRY ON.

Hey, just wanted to interject for a second. Grant is such an uncommon name, I just want to distinguish us. I read the site, but do not post. Always interesting discussion and articles here. I’ve bookmarked it.
Go forth and politicize, fellas
John G
I can only speak for myself on the fetish wear question T. But I’m with you on that. Easy to picture her with a whip in her hand that’s for sure.
Hope you weren’t offended with the Indian VP comment from our previous wackiness. I sometimes think that EVERYBODY knows me so they know when I’m joking.
Okay ……….enough with the political correctness. It’s making me VERY uncomfortable.
Tony
On second thought, Barney Frank IS gay and PROUD of it, and I made no reference to illegal activities.
I hereby proclaim that my previous “My Bad” shall be stricken from the record!
If anyone feels the need, you can bash on me for being an androgynous, ego-centric, Beau & Luke Duke accented, sassy, opinionated, insensitive, feather not dot, fetish loving (see Palin), long winded, non-politically correct , rock-n-roll white trash, megalomaniac with poor taste in humor, because the truth is the truth.
Isn’t that why we are all here… to find our ’self truths’.
But I’m not spineless … and I can laugh at my own absurdities… (plenty for everyone.)
I guess what I’m saying is … this is supposed to be fun also…
John can speak for himself. I get why the ‘young boys’ reference could be upsetting, if you don’t know John very well. However, since I do, I see the humor. (18 year olds are young boys to me.)
I will file that under the ” Political Correctness/Poor Choices can still be funny ” discussion, John, I am waiting for your response.
Think about it John…. WWMMD
(What would Marilyn Manson Do) Laugh at it all I’m guessing… “Your Freedom isn’t free or dumb!”
CARRY ON.

Ummm… wasn’t Barney Frank involved in running a brothel out of his apartment that catered to the likes of young boys? Wasn’t he formally reprimanded by the House for it in 1990?
I’ll apologize for alot of things… but unflattering comments about Barney Frank ain’t one of them.
Does citing something that actually happened actually fall outside the realm of “thoughtful” ?
He and Maxine Waters, along with Franklin Raines should ALL be in cuffs inside a concrete cell for their shameless behavior in the Fannie/Freddie debacle alone.
No “touchy-feely/warm fuzzy” PC crap here. You can get that on NPR. They’ll also occasionally drop an awesome recipe for Organic Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookie Balls w/chocolate tofu sprinkles.
To cite another Marilyn Manson quote:
“I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers”
Word.
John G
John I guess that’s one of my problems with parts of the conservative movement. You’ll rip on Barney Frank …………………and rightfully so. But when it comes to people that are more on your side of the ball they get a pass.
I hate to keep bringing up Dick Cheney (well I don’t exactly hate it) but the corruption, and more importantly, the widespread EFFECTS of his “evilness” makes Barney Frank look like Barney Fife (them sharing the same first name really worked beautifully for this analogy). What gives?
What REALLY pisses me off is that in a couple of months it all just goes away and he goes home on his free pass to count his money and probably get a new cool high paying job again from Halliburton while our troops are STILL over there making $40,000 a year if their lucky. And his rich buddies are making a fortune off their sacrifices.
Oh yeah and when his country called his ass to serve overseas he was too busy 5 freakin’ times!!!!! But he’ll have the NERVE to rip on a Vietnam vet over his version of his experiences when he WENT there.
So spread the love/sarcasm around John. There’s plenty of profiteering, no-morales kind of guys running the country BEGGING for US to call them out ……………ALL of them.
JGusty
Dude! I agree with what you are saying. But one can’t possibly call EVERYONE out who deserve it in a simple reply that I had to make in order to justify a Barney Frank joke.
The goal here isn’t to solve the world’s problems in a few post replies. It’s to give a forum to people like you and I who just want to keep a conversation going about something other than how much Bush sucks and that we need to get out of Iraq.
I know you get fired up about Cheney John… and your reasoning is justified no doubt. But again… I’m not in any way a fan of Bush/Cheney political accomplishments. Please understand that. I’m just as disappointed as you.
What I don’t want to do is waste a lot of time volleying back and forth with “got’chas”
One of us can say something about PERSON A – Then someone else will reply and say “What about PERSON B?!?!? They had sex with goats!!!”
Slime is slime. And we’re all big boys. I have no problem with calling a pig a pig.
You know what you get when you put lipstick on Tony? One VERY SEXY man.
What we should do is create a hit list of people who need to be showcased and highlighted for their utter “Douchebagness”
Send me your top 3 and we’ll get started.
Rob
NO, NOT THE ANIMAL THING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next thing you know, we’ll see reports about a pig having sex with a pitbull…….wearing lipstick.
John G
Point well take John. I just can’t help myself sometimes! If I could just get my hands on that slimy little bastar ……………oops sorry. Getting carried away again.
I don’t get to hear alot of news or get much time to search the internet these days. I REALLY appreciate some of the things that you’ve brought to my attention just being on this site. The video of the Dems at the Fannie Freddie hearing was quite revealing although hardly surprising (reading my past posts you may not believe this but I really am thankful for the few fiscal conservatives that are in Washington).
And the info posted above on Raines is very scary stuff! Obama already scared the hell out of me and now I’m thinking about using him for the main theme for our halloween decorations.
Here’s my top three Douchebag Awards ……………….
1. Gotta go with your Raines pick as the “Top Douche in all the land”. As far as I’m concerned he’s the face of the economic crisis.
2. Both of these shitty political parties that are nothing more then power grabbers and wouldn’t know an innovative idea even if it smelled “April Fresh” (Is that Downy or Massengils?)
3. Is a tie. First Bush/Cheney because ………………..(ok I won’t go into all of it)
and second. The American people. I’m talking about the ones that drive cars they can’t afford and live in houses they can’t afford and then when (surprise!) they fall behind on their payments let the banks eat it and may even get a government bailout to help them keep all the shit they shouldn’t have had in the first place! So much for personal responsibility.
I like John McCain to a certain degree. It’s really a shame that he’s bending (or breaking) his beliefs to try and win this thing. It reeks of desperation! When he was talking about the Feds (taxpayers) basically re-financing homes for people that just got greedy (for the most part) my impression of him finished the nosedive that he was already taking in my mind.

Nambee pambee whimps, and on the wrong track.
We already have enough talk. Do something !
Here’s a hint; make a list, check it twice. Who really feeds the bear ?
The media.
Why?
Their jouralism professors in college pointed the way,(off to the left) long ago.
Who else should be on the list? Judges? Celebs ? Newspaper editors ?
If Barney can be outed, so can they. And in the future, checked off the list.
If Obama wins this race, we must have a plan to regroup, if we don’t, he will complete the
job of taking us all the way to becoming a socialst country. To be ready, we should start now.
Reserch, educate,..youselves, ..others. Freedom in America depends on it.

Frank is a lying piece of incompetent hot garbage and should be prosecuted for misleading the public. They want to prosecute CEO’s, Bush and everyone else they can point fingers at. So what’s the difference between them and Massachusett’s big purple dinosaur with a speach impediment?
