Rep. Frank all but calls Republicans too crazy to functionally legislate
By Pete Kasperowicz - 09/21/12 01:37 PM ET


Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Friday all but accused House Republicans of being too crazy and extremist to pass legislation the country needs to operate, such as bills related to farm and tax policy, or a bill to rescue the U.S. Postal Service.

Frank never used the word "crazy" in his speech on the House floor, instead saying, "The reason we have such a dismal record here is not because they are lazy, our Republican colleagues. It's more because of a word that rhymes with lazy, which the House rules will prohibit me from using."

Frank, who is retiring at the end of the current Congress, went on to say that House Republicans don't have an understanding of how the government needs to work in concert with a free market economy.

"They simply do not understand the importance of our coming together and doing things in this complex economic society that cannot be done by the private sector," he said.

"It is an extremism. It's not laziness, it is extremism that grips the Republican Party so they are not able to discharge the normal functions of government."
