Frankly speaking

Real Clear Politcs has posted a video in which Barney Frank blames Republicans for members of the SEC staff spending its time watching pornography -- click on the title of this post for the link.

I think it is safe to say that no one in Washington thinks it is a good idea for any of the SEC staff to spend countless hours watching porn. Those who did should be identified and fired (if they are still there) just as would be the case in private industry. Still, it is the most amazing gall for Frank to blame the Republicans for this. After all, it is Frank that had a male prostitute ring operating out of his own home. At least the SEC staff was not committing a crime, just wasting the taxpayers money and ignoring their responsibilities. The male prostitutes operating out of Frank's home were breaking the law. Now it may be possible that Frank has blamed the Republicans for the guys turning tricks out of his house, but if so, I missed it.

In short, Barney Frank this was an idiotic attack even for you. You should be ashamed to have even said it.

Of course, the good folks at MSNBC just televise it and act as if everything said is perfectly normal. What else can you expect from a so-called network that won't even allow Keith Olbermann to be called "angry"?
