I'm sure his replacement won't be much better. But at least I don't hate him yet.

There is an unlimited supply of scumbag replacements. Reminds me of the picture of Jimmy Carter with the caption, "Miss me yet?"

You won't have Bawney Fwank to kick around any more. He'll probably be looking to establish residency in some country with no extradition treaty with the US before the next USAG can initiate corruption charges stemming from ACORN and TARP.

Glad to see him go. This presents a real challenge to his supporters. He set the bar very high for his part in the destruction of our country. The good news is while I know they will try, they will have a difficult time finding someone nearly as bad as him.

Will be interesting to hear his reason. His last election was the toughest since he was first elected. My be afraid he will be lose.

You are right but it's a corrupt female who also has ethics violations against her, Maxine Waters will most likely replace him.

BTW, there should be quite a few donks stepping down/retiring next year.

Take it with agrain of salt, but Rush Limbaugh today said it was because his distric lines were redrawn, making it very difficult for him to win a re-election.

Barney said the same thing. Mostly district lines, did not want to introduce himself to a new set of constituents......Someone had it right....He did not want to lose the election.

i was hoping he could convince the other 434 to go with him.

Kennedy — the son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy and grandnephew of President John F. Kennedy — was one of several Democrats whose name has emerged as a possible contender for U.S. Rep. Barney Frank’s seat after the 16-term congressman announced his retirement two days ago.
