Barney Frank to Newt Gingrich: Losing Is Making You Mouth Off
Newt Gingrich's defense of Wall Street from the Occupy protests ended with him calling for Rep. Barney Frank to be put in jail — a suggestion the Massachusetts congressman found "very odd."

“If you want to put people in jail, you ought to start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd,” Gingrich declared during a Bloomberg-Washington Post debate on Tuesday night. He and many Republicans around a table claimed it wasn't Wall Street that had screwed up the financial system, and so protesters were blaming the wrong people.

“All I am saying is, everybody in the media who wants to go after the business community ought to start by going after the politicians who were at the heart of the sickness that is weakening this country,” Gingrich said after moderator Charlie Rose double-checked on whether the former Speaker really meant to imply he wanted people arrested.

Frank took a swipe right back at Gingrich in a statement reported byTalking Points Memo.

1. I think Newtiepoo has a very short and very convenient memory
especially about who was in control of Congress and of the various committees when all the most damaging legislation was passed.

Senility doesn't seem like much of a qualification for office, Newtie. Better consider another way to make money to support #3 in the manner to which she's become accustomed. You can always be a lobbyist.

2. come on now, give the man a break, he loves his country so much that he must have affairs with women
doesn't that make it clear that a man with that response to a question posed to him, is a genius who should be the next POTUS? :rofl:
