Former Rep. Barney Frank Catches CHENEY In "Blatant Lie"

[kpete]

Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) called out former Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday, claiming that his book contained a huge error regarding control of the House of Representatives and Frank's position on a powerful committee.

During a Monday appearance on HuffPost Live, Frank brought along a copy of Cheney's "In My Time" for a little fact-checking session.

"I came across just a blatant lie," Frank said.

According to Frank, Cheney's book claims that George W. Bush's administration tried to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2003. The book alleges the motion was blocked by Frank, who Cheney writes served as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee at the time.

"I was not the chairman of the Financial Services Committee in 2003," Frank said. "The Republicans controlled the House."

1. Rep. Barney Frank makes the mistake of quoting history in the Democratic Universe.

2. You know what Cheney will say?

He will say again what he said when it was pointed out that History will say he was dead wrong on Iraq.

"So?"

3. You can have the facts as they are or the way Cheney re-writes them.

4. An utterly LAZY lie, as it is so easily disproven.

Time to ask for a raincheck on that new heart, Dickie-boy!
