CNBC can’t stomach Bawney Fwank’s “evolving position” on home ownership

Make no mistake about it, when we say “evolving position,” we mean his butt-covering lie.

In 2005 Barney Frank said, “Those of us on our committee in particular will continue to push for home ownership.”

In 2010 Barney Frank’s position has mysteriously evolved into, “I was very much in disagreement with this push into home ownership, and I think the Federal government should not be artificially doing that.”

That was more than CNBC Power Lunch gang could take. They nailed Frank on his hypocrisy.

  • AS in Barney "gerbil " Franks infamous words ," I DONT FORSEE ANY PROBLEMS WITH FREDDIE AND FANNIE " This clown would make a good captain on the H.M.S. Titanic , as he's always been into SEAMEN

  • Bawney Fwank is not disgusting because he's gay... he's gay because he's disgusting. He reminds me of this guy I knew in college that resorted to homosexual engagements not because he preferred sex with men, but because he couldn't attract any women... In the guys own words, "I do it because I'm lonely and men are the only sex partners willing to have me." I always felt sorry for the poor guy... he eventually went on to meet a woman who found him attractive and has been happily married now for like 20 years.

    • That... is the saddest thing I have read so far this week... I am glad that it turned out alright but darn.... sex was THAT important to him? Wow...

  • ED, why would Bwanhey Fwank ever want to cover his ass? Doesn't he want as many guys in there as possible?
    He is exactly why we need term limits. Get rid of this crooked corrupt clown.

    Vote Often, Democrats do!

  • The solution: Vote him out! MA get smart and get him out of there!

    Bill O'Reilly did it... called him a liar and that is what he is.

    • Kimmy, look at what it took to get Kennedy out of "his" Senate Seat. The people of MA will NEVER get smart. I'd like to see them secede.

      • That is the saddest thing that he will probably be dead before someone new gets that position. I for one have no problem with MA leaving. MA and California are pulling this country down.

        • Just remember, the good die young. That means Barney will live to be about 100, & you know damn sure if he can leave Congress, that's how he wants to go out.

  • Why would it be wrong to call a congressman a liar?

    That guy at the end said something terribly stupid....Why would it not be good?

    • You are one of the first people I have seen on the web that knows the difference! Thank you. Too many people confuse CNBC with MSNBC.
