Barney Frank, the voice of experience: “The Republican-led Appropriations Committee will be a pain in the ass”

If anyone would know about pain in the ass-ish regions, it would be Barney Frank. If you know what we mean.

We will not lower ourselves to put some mean-spirited, immature caption on this photo of Barney Frank. But don't let that stop you.

CNSnews.com has the painful particulars:

House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D.-Mass.) predicts that serving on the Appropriations Committee in the incoming Republican-majority House of Representatives will be a “great pain in the ass.”

“Fascinating fact, apparently for the first time in anybody’s memory, members of Congress have declined seats on the Appropriations Committee,” Frank said. ”Republican members have said, ‘I don’t want to be on the Appropriations Committee.’ The Appropriations Committee, which has been a great plum, is now going to be a great pain in the ass because you’re going to be expected to come up with cuts in things that are very popular, et cetera.”

Barney Frank, pain in the ass. You know, some days this job is like shooting fish in a barrel. If we actually made any money at this we’d almost feel compelled to give it back.
