rattus58,
I don't know what direct role Bambam had on the meltdown, but it seems that there should be some way to strip Barney Frank of his seat in congress or at least his chair on the committee that stymied attempts to bring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under control. Clinton knows Barney is dirty and so do most of the people in the US. His "gay" partner was one of the head guys in those operations and helped break the outfit with their lending practices. The executive level employees of Fannie and Freddie were giving each other great bonuses (half million and up) and those employees donated hugh sums of money to Barney (and to Bambam). Since the money was given to their campaign funds, they are legally not complicite in the fraud that was rampant in those organizations.
Acutally, this whole business really pi---- me off and the the democrats pretend it is the republicans that are dishonest.
