Rep. Barney Frank: Michele Bachmann’s Thinking Is ‘Seriously Delusional’ And ‘Bizarre’

Video
» 48 comments

Democratic Congressman Barney Frank appeared on The Ed Show last night with substitute host Chris Hayes and unveiled a new description for people in the Tea Party that at least should garner some chuckles for its randomness. Frank also thought Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was “seriously delusional” and “bizarre” to think Democrats have it as their goal to shutdown the government.

Frank suggested:

“If the President and Senator Reid were negotiating with Speaker Boehner and Senator Mitch McConnell it would be one thing. They in fact are negotiating with Boehner, McConnell, the White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter.”

Frank didn’t have kind words for Boehner either, who he declared to be the “most feckless leader,” since he will say one thing and then immediately change it if the Tea Party is not happy. Given that Frank thinks most Republicans are afraid of losing to a crazy extremist in their primary elections, Frank concluded “logic and rationality unfortunately are not governing the Republican party today.”

    Frank is being nice, I’d say CRAZY and taking advantage of the weak minded folks.

  • Dave Richards

    Barney is simply bizarre.

    Like Charles Manson calling a jaywalker a criminal.

    No serious person gives a flying fark what this old treasonous syphilitic queen has to say. He’s a thief and a liar and belongs behind bars for the rest of his pathetic existence.

  • TfT

    msnbc – the attack all republican network, especially republican women.

    Barney doesn’t like women anyway…so who give a sh!t what he has to say to begin with.

    Talk about extreme, Barney is the primary source for the problems with the housing market, he is the guilty one, and it is clear that his guilt is eating him alive as he lashes out against anyone/anything.

    Time for Barney to retire.

    MSNBC attacks a republican….so what else is new?

    I wonder if the interview took place from Barney’s favorite room at the Ben Dover Motor Inn in beautiful Provincetown on Cape Cod.

  • dhg

    Frank is doing his job,demonize and ridicule what he fears.It’s not really about Bachmann it’s about change and about Americans having an actual say in what government does.

    No matter what you think about the Tea Party,what this is really about is American’s being fed up with politicians of both parties doing what they want and that they feel is advantageous to them versus advantageous to Americans.Frank,like all career politicians,is scared to death that the gravy train will end and they’ll actually have to be responsive to the American public.

    Dems are going to pull out all the stops to portray Repubs as all “Tea party controlled nutcases” because they feel being extreme and characterizing anything they view as a threat in the most extreme ways is advantageous to them by creating fear of change.

    This is all a campaign to try and end any formation of a real third party through the use of fear and misinformationToo bad because the two we’ve got really suck..

  • ndanielson

    Serioustly bizzare and delusional are the people who voted for, and who continue to support this clown. Apparently having gay lovers running a brothel and pot growing operation in Barney’s basement is par for the course in sheepville. The left’s heroes. Whatever it takes to keep the perpetually aggreived in free cheese. Didn’t Barney try to get one of his boyfeinds to “head” Fannie Mae? Why yes, I think so…

    Media Mum on Barney Frank’s Fannie Mae Love Connection
    Democratic House Financial Services Committee Chair promoted GSEs while former ‘spouse’ was Fannie Mae executive.

    http://www.mrc.org/bmi/articles/2008/Media_Mum_on_Barney_Franks_Fannie_Mae_Love_Connection.html

    Yes, the seriously bizzare and delusional are the sheep supporting this freak and his democrat party!

  • Pablo

    Bachmann has probably just been listening to Howard Dean, who is delusional. It looks like Barney is too, though that’s nothing new.

  • notsofast

    But she didn’t run a house of male prostitution out of her house and then ask Congress to investigate what was going on in her house, Barney!

  • lane

    He does know delusional! While Fannie Mac and Freddie Mae were driving our economy into the ground, he kept trying to make loans easier for people who couldn’t afford it. Now that is delusional!

    Of course, we’re spending $4B a day just on our debt interest, but he thinks its delusional to not cut the spending down. Crazy!!

    Frank should have been frog marched to jail for his involvement in Fannie Mae, etc.

  • CAconservative

    Who the hell votes for someone as creepy as Barney Frank? He is directly involved in the mortgage meltdown, and he gets reelected? Just when you think it can’t get any more disgusting….you’d better think again.

    Or maybe blame the party in charge at that time, who did nothing. And what party controled congress for most of the last decade?

    Finally, a logical man in DC. Frank has always been one of the most intelligent people in congress. He is exactly right here. This is what happens when a small extremist segment of the country wins an election like 2010, rather than the sensible majority like in 2008 People, we gotta fix these mess in 2012. These baggers aremaking the United States look bad to the rest of the world..

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    Since they are totally incapable of handling a rational discussion of any issue, the lunatic-left always resort to childish name calling, slurs and slime throwing. Like the runaway d-crat socialists of the wisconsin and indiana legislatures, these mental midgets can’t really function in any environment they don’t dictatorially control. For these people, the question: “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader” has an obvious answer.

    Speaking of slime, buffoon barney should be remember for these:

    1. Let us NEVER forget the two key enablers of the second-worst financial crisis in American history: COUNTRYWIDE SWEETHEART MORTGAGE DEAL chris dodd, and BUFFOON barney frank.

    frank and dodd goosed Freddie and Fannie into supporting sub-prime mortgages for slugs, slackers, deadbeats, liars, freeloaders, losers, taxpayer-leeches, cheats, ILLEGALS and potheads and other typical members of the d-crat socialist party – which led to massive mortgage defaults from unqualified borrowers which was one of the root causes of the current financial crisis.

    2. buffoon barney frank: “Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.”
    So, in other words, “Government is just one big clusterfrack”!!!

    3. And for those who still admire “The Banking Queen”, here’s a news items from several months ago that’s still a true gem:

    “Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island’s popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday, 16 Jul 2010 Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn’t have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, “Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation.”"

    So buffoon baney throws a massive hissy-fit over having to spend $1 of his own money, but he doesn’t give the slightest consideration when he spends/wastes TRILLIONS of taxpayer money.

  • OxyCon

    Yeah, because nothing says “normal” like a running a male prostitution ring, growing pot plants and fugly old men sleeping with young men.

    Yep, and bombing another country that didn’t pose any imminent danger really endears us. What’s that gurgling sound I hear? How’s that Koolaid? LMAO.

  • Snidely

    Um, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. At least Representative Bachmann hasn’t had a lover busted for running a prostitution ring out of her apartment, or put another in at Feddie Mac. The Democrats have only themselves to blame, as they did not pass – or even attempt to pass – a budget for 2011 when they controlled the House, the Senate and the presidency, as provided for in law. Trying to be too clever by half, they now find themselves in the position of having to share power, and don’t like it.

  • Dem4Ever

    Barney Frank, like Jon Stewart, thinks Geraldo’s got ‘Major’ sack.

  • Nachi

    But of course. The creature is a typical GOPster. Her vision is limited by – the curb height. Hatred & ignorance & bitterness her constant companions. Another wasted soul – in need of a crutch & a cause. The politics of hysteria prevail. What deeply unhappy lives these cretins must lead. Imagine waking up each morning with that mindset! Like dwelling in the sewer with half-wits. And that’s as good as it EVER gets.

    Yes, he and Chris Dodd are both responsible more than GWB for the collapse of the housing market and the resulting recession of 2008.

    This coming from the man who swore to us that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were both solvent.
