Why does he get a pass? Barney Frank’s Friends with Benefits

Because he is queer in every negative sense of the term!

Barney Frank’s Friends with Benefits - Michelle Malkin - National Review Online
MAY 27, 2011
The Massachusetts congressman’s shady ethics history.
Frank was rather miffed about the recent disclosure that he helped former lover Herb Moses land a job with the behemoth lender while sitting on a House committee that regulates lenders a decade ago. The Boston Herald reported Thursday that Frank immediately played the Everybody Does It card: “It is a common thing in Washington for members of Congress to have spouses work for the federal government. There is no rule against it at all.” ...

No doubt he’ll spring the Homophobia Card on critics at an opportune moment to ice his multi-tiered cake of excuses.

Funny thing. Not too long ago, it was Frank himself counseling fellow Democratic scandal magnet Rep. Maxine Waters to butt out of Boston-area OneUnited Bank’s bid for $12 million in federal TARP bailout funds because of conflict-of-interest odors. Waters’s husband, Sidney Williams, was an investor in one of the banks that merged into OneUnited and owned stock holdings estimated at $350,000. ...

Frank’s exact words to Waters: “You should stay out of it. . . . You should stay away from this.”

Read on at the above link, and it barely skims the surface of this arrogant fruit's corruption!
