Oh, Happy Day: Barney Frank Won’t Be Running for Reelection in 2012
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on November 28, 2011
Bye, bye, Barney
We’ll get a press conference later today on this stunning, although delightful, news that bombastic, ultra-liberal corruptocrat, Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Barney Frank won’t be running for reelection next year.
Tea party jitters? Redistricting jitters? Failed financial reform bill jitters?
Bye, bye, Barney — no love lost here.
Reported by The Hill, Rep. Frank won’t run for reelection:
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will announce Monday that he is not seeking re-election, a spokesman said Monday morning.
Frank, the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee was the architect with Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) of the sweeping financial reform bill that bears their names.
From Big Government:
Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts is expected to announce his retirement from Congress on Monday, closing out a career of more than three decades capped by passage last year of legislation imposing new regulations on Wall Street.
[...]
For weeks, Politico and other lefty organs have been making happy-talk that the Democrats could win back control of the House in 2012. News like this tells you that ain’t going to happen.
Massachusetts, just two words of advice here: Sean Bialet.
