Perhaps the politician I despise the most in Washington D.C. is Barney Frank. His arrogance and inability to barney-frank-banking-queen accept anything remotely resembling “accountability” is disgusting. Combined that with his continual free pass from the media, and apparently his constituents who keep electing him, Franks is an embarrassment to the entire political establishment of Government.
Harvard Student Takes on Barney Frank Over His Role In The Economic Melt-Down

It all started with a question: "How much responsibility, if any, do you have for the financial crisis?"
Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and a conservative Harvard law student debated over how Frank should have handled his role as the House Chairman of the Financial Services Committee. Frank was at Harvard University for a speech at the Kennedy School of Government.
Frank said the student wasn't backing up his claims, invoking some laughter from the crowd, and the student told Frank he wasn't answering his question.
This student was absolutely incredible! "You're a public representative, I'm a student... it does allow me to ask you a question. I'm waiting for an answer."
Frank acts like a deranged lunatic while this student was intelligent, calm and rational.
Frank adds there is a "systematic right-wing attack to try and divert the blame." It amazes me how Frank continues to act like a child, knowing full-well that he shares a substantial amount of the blame for sub-prime mortgages which contributed to the current recession.
