A politician that makes sense - who would have guessed it. especially after Bill Moyers program on how the elites keep their taxes low thanks to campaign contributions.

Barney Frank ... every horrible piece of legislation passed over the past 30 years which enabled banks , other financial institutions , FNM and FRE to get into trouble , was somehow empowered by this shister's lawmaking "skills"

I can't stand Barney Frank's blubbering supposedly "frank" (give me a break) style. However, I have to agree with him on this one.....its ridiculous to blame a husband for the discretions of his wife prior to marriage. If JPM did something wrong prosecute, but don't blame JPM for Bear Stearns actions, just broke states going after deep pockets hoping that the banks will settle.

Funny, why isn't the same thing true for Bank of America on the Countrywide suits (or Wells Fargo for the Golden West/Wachovia suits)? Suppose that Jaimie bought Barney (and they are just making sure he stays bought)? The Government wanted BAC to buy both Countrywide and Merrill Lynch, just as much as the need to sell Wachovia to ANYONE (even Citi at one point was considered and they were the worst of the banks propped up with TARP)!
