You're talking from where most people do their farting again, Mr. Jelly.
Nobody, liberal or conservative, who makes trivial, honest mistakes on
their tax returns goes to jail.

I wonder what kind of bull**** you'd be spewing if it was a liberal
Senator who was caught doing the wide stance tap dance in the Men's
room. You'd be screaming for jail time wouldn't you ?

The wide stance Liberal that is admitted gay, and has his aid / companion
running a male prostitution ring from his house gets a chairmanship.
Double
standard?

First of all, what in the hell does Frank's being gay have to do with
anything -
IOW, are you suggesting that if he had been a straight guy shacked up with
a gal
running girls without his knowledge, it would have been OK? IAC, it's
pretty
clear that Frank had no idea what his "companion" was up to. I'd offer
that
while Frank has gotten some stuff wrong, he is, in general, a pretty
decent
legislator (judging him by the standard of legislators), even though I
personally disagree with much of what he believes as far as politics
go...as to
what he does in the bedroom, I don't give a tinker's damn - I'm certainly
not
interested in asking (or knowing) and I'm hoping he continues to be
uninterested
in telling...

HTH,

I do not care that Barney is gay. I do care about the pass he gets when his
companion runs a prostitution ring out of Barney's house. Gay or straight
prostitution does not matter. But Barney got a pass from the fourth Estate
and Congress. If you are going to complain about a congressman tapping his
shoe in the john make the same standards apply across the board. A
companion with unfettered and undocumented access to the White House running
an illicit business should cause a lot of flap. Same with the tax error
nominees. They should be getting the same penalties any other taxpayer that
makes an error gets. Nope, they are getting a free ride. Sort of like
getting caught leaving the bank you just robbed and giving the money back
and walking away without charges. Unfortunately, I used to think Barney was
probably the smartest person in Congress, but after all the support of FM $
FM during the bad loan era, I have killed that thought. He may be
intelligent, but he is not smart.
