Barney Frank, D-Massachusetts, announced his retirement from Congress after 16 terms in office. While I’ve disagreed with many of his positions, I do believe that he was a positive force in Congress.
In announcing his retirement, Frank said that “One of the advantages to me of not running for office is I don’t even have to pretend to try to be nice to people I don’t like,”
Barney sure hit the nail on the head with that quip. I’ve always been bemused by the phoniness of Senators and House members in how polite they are to each other during TV interviews when in fact it’s obvious that they really can’t stand each other.
