Has Barney Frank been replaced by a winger replicant?
I mean, WTF?
The odd thing is, that it when the Republicans were trying to overthrow Clinton that Frank made the prophetic remark (can't Google it, alas) that we were moving toward a Parliamentary form of government, equating the impeachment proceedings with a vote of no confidence. And a parliamentary government is what we are moving toward now, with the theocrats owning the Republicans, the Republicans running the House with no input from the Democrats (50% of the country) at all, and the Republicans poised to make the Senate just like the House.
Frank saw this coming, and now he's trashing someone who's trying to put a halt to it? WTF?!
Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, one of the House's leading critics of Mr. DeLay, said Sunday that Dr. Dean's remarks were unfair and counterproductive.
"You don't have to be unfair to be tough," he said. "And you don't have to overstate and really be unfair to people to get your ideological allies energized. It's just inappropriate."
