This. Instead he will retire with a coushy tax payer funded pension and probably have a street or a bridge named after him.

When Newt becomes president, frank and dodd may well end up in prison where they belong.

On second thought prison may not really be a punishment for Barney. Locked up with a bunch of men for years? Could be a dream come true.

Barney Frank has never done anything to warrant his going to jail. He is a very fine congressman and I will miss him.

How anyone can watch those two videos (Frank and Waters) and not think they belong in jail is laughable. They were as culpable as anyone on Wall St. for what happened.

And how many Wall Street types have been indicted for their wrongdoing? Oh, yeah, that would be zero.

Not just indicted but convicted. Current status, incarcerated. Just to name a few.

Andrew Fastow - Enron CFO
Richard Scrushy - HealthSouth CEO
Joseph Nacchio - Qwest CEO
John Rigas - Adelphia Founder
Timothy Rigas - Adelphia CFO
Jeffrey Skilling - Enron CEO
Bernard Ebbers - WorldCom CEO
Bernie Madoff - Investment Fraud

Have you ever watched American Greed TV Show? Plenty of them are in jail or dead from suicide or another way.
