So, we already knew that Barney “Roll the Dice” Frank’s significant other, Herb Moses, was working at a handsomely rewarded gig at Fannie Mae while Representative Frank was helping to inflate the housing bubble. How’d he get that sweet job, anyway? Through Representative Frank, it turns out.
I'll wait when Barney has his Fannie spanked for his misdeeds.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhen is someone going to stand up to this garbage? Barney frank is an embarrassment to this country and it's crimnal that he is still in office. What hasn't he done that shouldn't have had him tossed?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhat's stunning about this is that the Boston Globe actually reported it today.

Frank's district in Massachusetts is so insanely gerrymandered and votes so reflexively Democrat that the only way he is leaving Congress is when he decides to retire. They know he's an SOB. They also don't care.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhat's all this I hear about Barney Frank giving his boyfriend a job in the Fannie?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSeriously, is anybody shocked that a sodomite that is amoral in his personal life is going to somehow live by a moral code in his public life? Roman times, anyone?

Haven't seen you around here before. Consider this a big "Not Welcome" sign from me. People who write things like you did give conservatives a bad name.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseDaisy chain, more likely!
Williamson: Sodomy is not amoral? Surely paraphrasing the bible with regard to morals doesn't give conservatives a bad name, does it?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI think the word you're looking for is "immoral." And lots of gay people manage to make it through life, even in politics, without becoming case studies in corruption. Linking the two is the sort of low-minded, gap-toothed thing that gives the Right a bad name.
But if you can't manage the nuances of ethical reasoning, you ought at least to have the manners not to write that sort of thing. I would not want to know you.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbusePerhaps immoral would have been a better choice of words..however I think the point remains consistent. Like a huge swath of Catholics of a certain age and schooling, homosexuality is seen as a sin...as is corruption. There is nothing "gap-toothed" or embarassing about it. As far a "wanting to know me," would you have the same thought if I had written something like this?:

(WFB - The New York Times)
Is anybody surprised? I actually thought we already knew this. So, I guess I'm surprised that we didn't know already.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseUnsurprisingly, the NYTimes Book Review today omits any mention of Barney Frank's role in the debacle, nor does it mention his influence-peddling for his boyfriend.
