Sowell has a good article on Barney's lies today...here's an excerpt
"When financial analyst Maria Bartiromo asked Congressman Frank who was responsible for the financial crisis, he said, “
right-wing Republicans.” It so happens that conservatives were the loudest critics who had warned for years against the policies that Barney Frank pushed, but why let facts get in the way?
Ms. Bartiromo did not just accept whatever Barney Frank said. She said: “With all due respect, congressman, I saw videotapes of you saying in the past: ‘Oh, let’s open up the lending. The housing market is fine.’” His reply? “
No, you didn’t see any such tapes.”
“I did. I saw them on TV,” she said. But Barney Frank did not budge. He understood that a good offense is the best defense. He also understands that rewriting history this election year is his best bet for keeping his long political career alive."
