Barney Frank surprised to hear that Rush thinks McCarthy was a bad guy...

[Hieronymus]

Rush and someone else compared Frank to McCarthy.

[BeyondGeography]

1. That made me laugh

Then he adroitly segued to how he didn't understand the comparison because McCarthy was someone who falsely accused people.

3. McCarthy? I thought that Michael Steele was Rush's puppet ...

[skooooo]

I love his sense of humor.

5. sohndrsmith surprised that what Barney Frank said on Countdown just now

isn't getting more attention... (re Paulson, AIG and his "informing" Frank and the rest that the decision to offer them $$ was made without them/consensus/debate - before other bailouts were even put on the docket...

...Is this not the big deal I think it is? Perhaps not, but I'm confused by that... maybe it's just not sexy enough for MSM to follow up on - because it would kill the story too soon.

Perhaps that is too skeptical of me...

6. I already knew about that

But yeah, a lot of the media drama was surrounded around the financial bailout in September, and not the ones earlier in the year. They don't do a good job explaining either.

8. Solid logic..and can't

be refuted!
