By

    Barney’s got the JBF hairdo going in that clip.

    Not even a pinky? I mean, he would have to say he didn’t like it in public, but everyone knows a little pinky never hurt anyone.

    That explains Corker’s upcoming hemorrhoid surgery.

    Barney Frank is a retard..this is more of a reason for me not to like him.

    Gonna take the unpopular position that Barney Frank producing non-perfect legislation is much better than the cluster of conservatives who are sitting out the process putting ideology above everything.

    Bess, your tag of “dick jokes” may be your best ever. Something in its honest simplicity is just a thing of beauty.

    @11 (Finnegan) As legislation goes, this bill doesn’t seem too awful, does it?

    I hate Barney Frank, but I appreciate his douchbaggery. The guy just makes no excuses, he’s a fucking dick and he’s ok with it

    I’m assuming the pun was intended by using the word “sausage” and Barney Frank in the same sentence.

    Ugh. The same old thing. Washington claiming they’re protecting the average American and taking down the evil corporations. But of course, Washington is in the pocket of Wall Street. Also, if a guy like Lloyd Blankfein endorses the bill, you know something is wrong! Of course a permanent bailout fund would not be openly reported on!

    Since finance reform was introduced, it always benefits the corporations!

    He’s a parody of himself. Between him, Franken, Obama and Waxman, you literally have the next cast of SNL. BTW – someone please wipe down the microphone and call the CDC – not sure where Barney’s been spending his leisure time as of late.

    I think that what you published made a ton of sense. But, what about this? what if you added a little content? I am not saying your information isn’t good, but suppose you added a post title to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean How Your Financial Regulation Bill Sausage Gets Made Dealbreaker: Wall Street Insider – Financial News, Headlines, Commentary and Analysis – Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Banks is kinda plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post headlines to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
