Speaking Frankly
Monday, June 11, 2007

U.S. Representative Barney Frank, who's been known to have a caustic word or two about Republican pols, lays into Mitt Romney in an interview with NECN's Jim Braude to be broadcast tonight. Frank calls Romney "the most intellectually dishonest human being in the history of politics."

Here's the full quote, as provided by NECN: "The real Romney is clearly an extraordinarily ambitious man with no perceivable political principle whatsover. He is the most intellectually dishonest human being in the history of politics."

Geez, Barney, tell us how you really feel. The interview airs at 7 p.m.

1. Damn, Sir: That Is Some Stiff Competition....

Romney does seem up to the challenge, though....

[CK_John]

2. Mitt (I'll tell you what you want to hear) says, "Wow, I beat out the chimp". n/t

[bluerum]

3. Yes - and MA elected him governor. Still not sure how that happened,

but it was a huge swindle.

On the bright side, Mitt is out of our hair.

Ct. is stuck with Joe Lieberman for 5 and half more years.

on edit: On the bright side....

4. I am sure when Frank Speaks...there is adequate reasons/evidence/observations to support

his quote.

He is puting pressure on Mitts staff to come up with a counter...no choice here but to spin it somehow....

Ghouley and McLame laughing out LOUD
