The problem is the left-wingers in the media don't even CARE, but imagine a Republican Conservative helps his girlfriend get a job at a government agency....they'd be ALL OVER that and demanding ethics investigations and what not.

You have Congressmen, caught evading taxes, making shady business deals, abusing their office, and they just get a "censure".

Throw the bums out!

LOL, of course not, but BF paying back the debt by stone walling the call for more regulation certainly contributed to the problem. Oh, I know, the members of the trial lawyers association here will hasten to point out my lack of evidence for quid pro quo, so I'll re-state, for the record, that this is my opinion.

No, but I think the point is that Frank used his position as a legislature to get a cush job for his boyfriend. That's the news. Of course we won't hear about it in the main stream media.
