Barney Frank just gave Lou Dobbs some great sound bites for tonight's show

[Pirate Smile]

There is a Hearing on the ports deal on C-span.

He said the witness list makes this Hearing a joke -"not even Faux News would call this fair and balanced". 9 witnesses - 8 pro-deal.

He also said this charade reminds him of a poem that goes (paraphrase) "as she doest say she will not consent, she consents".

He said it is too bad this is a problem re relations with Dubai but this was totally predictable and it is the Administrations fault this has happened.

1. Barney Frank is the man.

Honest, forthright, frank. I'm glad this stuff is getting mainstream exposure.

2. He is amazing - the way he cuts thorugh the crap and comes out with

something clever and biting. We need more Barney Franks. No mumbo-jumbo.
