The always insightful, never dull former Rep. Barney Frank has a lot to say in an interview with Reuters excerpted at Raw Story. Here are a few lines that caught our eye (but it's a detailed, wide-ranging interview that merits a full read):
On President Obama:
I was worried when he said in 2008 he was going to be post-partisan. It gave me post-partisan depression.On Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz's Presidential chances:
God is not that much of a Democrat for Ted Cruz to get nominated.On the public's complaining about Congress (but then don't get their asses to the polls):
It’s interesting that the institution the public values the least is the one in which they have the greatest input in selecting: Congress.Of course, there's much, much more from Frank about politics, the "cromnibus" appropriations bill that weakened one part of the Dodd-Frank reform act, the financial collapse of 2008, marriage equality, and the media (including an interesting critique of two of our favorites, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert - oh, well).
