so what is he going to do? spread rent stab to every top 20 city in USA? make rent tax deductible? build more rental housing?

He's going to spend all his effort covering up all the opposite stuff he did.

The man is teflon coated. If his boyfriend running a prostituion ring from his house doesn't land him in hot water then this is barely going to trouble the scorer! Accept it, we're stuck with the f**king guy (much as it pains me to say so)

oh my lord! I didn't know! and I thought he was a putz before this...

"Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank, an acknowledged homosexual, today confirmed that his Washington apartment had been used as a callboy headquarters by a male prostitute for a year and a half until late 1987. Responding to a story in today's Washington Times, Frank said he had hired the prostitute out of his own funds as a personal aide and fired him when he found out what was going on."

Clinton-era Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, who will go down in history as one of the men who killed derivatives regulation, insisted today that he has long thought that derivatives should, in fact, be regulated.

"I thought we should regulate derivatives; I thought so when I was at Goldman Sachs and I thought so afterwards," he told HuffPost during a break at an event for the Hamilton Project, a think tank he founded to support Wall-Street-friendly Democrats. Rubin was chairman at Goldman Sachs before joining the Clinton administration in 1993; after he left, he went on to head Citigroup, which he nearly bankrupted with his excessive risk-taking.
