Barney Frank Flipping Out Over Smart-Ass Republicans’ Request To Exempt Samoa From Legislation

In my previous post about Nancy Pelosi and her Democrats creating a special exemption in the minimum wage law for a company from Pelosi’s home district (in which Pelosi’s husband just happens to hold some $17 million in financial interests) you may remember a description of smart ass (in a good way) Rep. Patrick McHenry asking Barney Frank if he can offer an amendment exempting American Samoa from stem cell legislation the same way that territory was exempted from the minimum wage legislation.

Barney Frank was described as getting very irate with Rep. McHenry, but his irritation is really something you need to behold first hand.

Even when angry, Rep. Frank has the cutest way of talking.

“DA RULE DOES NOT PWOVIDE FO AMENDMENTS!”

What makes this whole thing even more funny is that the Democrats have now reversed themselves and decided to extend the minimum wage to American Samoa, something that the delegate from that territory is warning will gut their economy

Which just goes to show what a bad idea the minimum wage is for the economy in the first place.

LoL.

That’s good entertainment, might just have to get cable for that quality reality tv.

Within 30 day the United States congress will be the most watched comedy in history. It’s already a match for Hee Haw, Beverly Hillbillies, and Green Acres but is pulling ahead fast.

How’s “Coma Guy” doing?  Anything in the news?

I say Barney Frank is a boob. I like the point where the guy brings up how when Frank was in the minority he was famous for bringing up stupid questions. Classic stuff here.

Congress didn’t just create a special exemption for American Samoa, it’s had it since 1938. Go read the Fair Labor Standards Act and subsequent amendments. There is a process of wage review every two years which is more than can be said for these United States.

So how about a little fact-checking mext time instead of following the Republi-puppet mantra like a bunch of lemmings.

This is the type of bully, smear politics the American people are tired of. Didn’t you get the memo in November?

What a lie, the bill Nancy Pelosi had introduced has a special exemption for Somoa.

Let’s not live in the past, let’s talk about what happened this week.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

If it’s bad for American Samoa, it’s bad for America.  Didn’t you get the memo?

You sound like a bully here.

The memo? Call your opponents “Nazis”, “idiots”, “morons”, and you’ll get elected.

Aren’t those “bully, smear politics”?

Why yes,..they are.

What’s your point again?
