[joecool89nm]

Lol! I'm gonna miss Barney Frank so much!

[pieceofcake125]

Our government ladies and gentlemen. No wonder things are fucked up. Fat fuck Frank flippin out over dumb shit like the drama queen he is.

[DeedsResearcher]

Sorry, but old Barney does not know the MEANING of the word "straight".

[ammarios]

@DeedsResearcher Wow, THAT'S the best you could come up with? A bigoted dig? I applaud your intelligence.

[mbenzgt]

Some of you guys must not understand. What you see is a setup for freshman members. This is a class for new congressman to understand rules. How about you guys commenting learn govt. Yea the guys that take your money.

[john51880]

Please vote for Sean Bielat!

[323carlosLA]

HE IS VERY FUNNY ....I CAN'T STOP LAUGHTING

[chino1922]

Barney Frank is a crook and a idiot! He shouldnt be schooling anyone after him and Sen. Dodd were responsible for the housing collapse and blamed it on the RepublicanS! This is what you get when Socialists take control!

[Hirviendos]

Barney Frank.. brutally mauled the republicans.

[Cedtoron]

"We have an excessive degree of concern right now about home ownership and its role in the economy."- Barney Frank, June 27th, 2005.

[jabad187]

This Barney Frank is a fat piece of shit, it looks like his mother fucked a pig and had him.

[Ecksntrick8]

I knew I liked Frank.

[BeAConservative]

Barneys panties must have been riding up on him at the time.

[PremiumWater]

Jesus all this fat mumbling fuck does is whine. He sounds like a spoiled overweight five year old that isn't getting his ice cream.

[muzzleflash7]

This man is not only a morally corrupted vile human being, he is a traitor and is personally responsible for destroying this economy. He is a criminal and must be removed and prosecuted.

[conservanazi]

Look at the downfall of the United States , When a morally corrupted homosexual like barny crank can show his semen splashed face in puplic and attack patriots and dictate his communist faggot ideals on this great country you know it is far past the time for a revolution.

[NathanPStark]

@conservanazi - I agree...look at the downfall of the United States, when an ignorant, pathetic, coward like yourself can not think of any thing else to say in expression to your opposition to what Rep. Frank is trying to relate, except for uneducated, insulting and cheap-shots at this man's sexual orientation. Posting comments like this show's just how ignorant you are. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[rdegertson]

I love Barney Frank!

[GU1TARV1LLA1N]

Barney was setting them straight they really were using Robert's Rules of Order quite badly.

[Joneses65]

They dont use Roberts Rules. They Follow Jefferson's Manual.

[farmer88]

I'm told it's supposed to be mocking the Republicans. Frank claims they are not following procedure absolutely correctly. I just don't see why he simply couldn't answer the question instead of droning on and on. I'm sure the Republicans know parliamentary procedure, all they were asking was a simple question. He could have simply answered a quick "yes" or "no" and moved on. Instead he's an idiot and wants everything to be followed to the dot. No one will be shot for no exactly following it.

[strawbary]

fuck that faggot shoot him in the head

[NathanPStark]

@strawbary - You're messed up...in the head!

[drewd1987]

This pos does nothing be block anything the republicans have to say. He's a fucking joke. Fuck him.

[greatdane115]

barney rubble frank is a useless piece of shit. what an arrogant cocksucker

[hellodollymh]

Is this supposed to make the republicans look bad? Frank looks like an idiot. I remember when the republicans were in majority they would at least hear out what bs Frank had to say.  Their just asking questions to the chair thats what an inquiry is. I like how they all laugh at the end cause they know what a moron and hypocrit Barnies Frank is.

[MrSally56]

They won't rule long,have another glass of kool aide pyuo delusional idiot.

[MrSally56]

Only massachusets could vote in this lying corrupt cocksucker.What a piece of shit,but after all Mass. had the drunken ,murdering bastard Ted Kennedy on a pedestal for years so it's really no surprise.

[EMPERORMIKI]

How wonderful ... hate him or otherwise Rep. Frank was completely correct ... see those filthy republicans chuckling at the end ... even they knew it.

Rules are in place for a reason — and bush wacking southern trash don't see to understand that.

[drewd1987]

Rule to suppress the truth. Fuck you liberal.

[amtavizon]

What a fat arragent sorry son of a bitch

[amtavizon]

We have a Criminal AKA Barney Frank as a chairman yup only in America...

Thhhe THHHHHthh you you thilly thavage

[kethuvim2006]

spaaaaazzzz!

[PrestonBrooks1850]

The Delegation from Texas should cane that Yankee speaker just like Congressman Preston Brooks caned Sen. Sumner from MA. back in the 1850's. Every 100 years or so Yankees need to receive the butt end of a Southern Gentleman's cane. I mean this too!

[bounce510]

Yu probably do... how sad for you. If the Delegate from Texas however had any clue about A) how to be a gentleman, B) what his job was, C) Parliamentary Procedure, or D) had bother to read the Bill before it was proposed he could have avoided being made to look like a tool from a Yankee.

As a Texan I'm disappointed.

[jerseyhuckster]

LOL you wont be in control for long. Liberals have fucked this country sideways and I hope you are happy. Obama already has bought himself a ticket out of politics altogether. Barney Frank was running a prostitution ring out of his house! Oh you may think republicans are squirming but in reality we are laughing our fucking heads off!

[jdshadle]

How does your man's cum taste?

[pbear171965]

Barney is a candy ass LIAR. Pit Bull named Tinker Bell. What a joke this clown is.

[Flemicks]

Go Barney!! ^_^

[glb360]

The fact that you need to attack my character in your reply shows that you are in the same class as Barney Frank when he acts in this manner. Mr. Frank could simply have said NO without the drama. Now, bend over and shut up!

[cpsteiner]

About three months ago, I said that the republicans in this video should be ashamed that they do not understand basic parliamentary procedure. I said this of course before the entire collapse of the financial crisis. So don't be mean in my comments. I do stand by the fact that the republicans SHOULD know these simple rules. I will agree with other commentors, however, that Frank has not been managing the financial crisis very well.

[truthgladiator]

Barney Frank is a prick. I wish he would open his mouth wider when he talks like the way he does when is giving fellatio to his gay lovers. He's disgusting, nauseating and a self-righteous prick.

[Flemicks]

He isn't a prick, and that's just the way he talks.. nobody is perfect. He is just TRYING to maintain order in the house..if you are going to call someone a prick then you should tell that to the people who suppose to debate about the bill, not bitch about something else.. he just doesn't talorate it at all. He is just strict.. =l

[glb360]

I'm embarrassed to be a gay man after seeing this.  No wonder straight people don't want us to have any rights or be in an authoritative position.

[guy0307]

why? Frank got angry at the Republicans because they were pointing that the house rules were broken, even though they didn't even say how they were broken, which is a violation of the house rules.

They also used parlimentary inquiry, which is used to ask questions about the house rules, to ask about context of bills.

Frank school'd em!

[chewbaca1989]

Wow he knows how to run a bordello.

[legomanshotu]

Elmer's got a gavel! run 4 ur lives!!

[CapnnOrdinary]

Elmer Fudd is STONE-COLD-BUSTED!!!!

[spbrowncfa]

Fucking, Elmer Fudd

[KOHF34]

Patrick McHenry is a log cabin republican. Not only that, but he was a damn idiot for trying to utilize the same inquiry after being denied the first time.

[micmore007a]

Do you think one party rule is a good thing ? Your a Blind Fool. If you'd play the whole clip you'd see Frank is an ahole.

[wpiv926]

I love it! Frank is really putting the republicans in their place.

[cpsteiner]

Anyone who has had an ounce of parliamentary training would COMPLETELY agree with Frank. These rules can be understood by grade school students in Model United Nations. How unprofessional of the Republicans. I would say the same thing about the Dems if they did this.

[jgrover78]

Anybody who has followed Barney Frank knows that he has a history of subverting the rules. Of course, when he does it, it has to be ok because if he is shot down, he'll charge homophobia and "intellectual dishonesty." Barney Frank is garbage--how he still heads the Financial Services Committee has to be the greatest mystery of our government...and no, I am not a right-winger.

[bounce510]

Hold on now... it wasn't all the House Republicans who couldn't read Robert's Rules of Order. Just that one. From my state *FacePalm*

[firestartersRus]

Barney Frank is a pedophile homosexual. He belongs in jail or a mental institution! And you wonder why the USA is bankrupt? This piece of shit Frank needs to be flushed down the toilet!

[kterlagge]

You my friend are a bigot and should enjoy your time in hell. Fuck all you nasty conservative republicans!!!

[firestartersRus]

I don't give a crap what YOU think of me. The rest of the world agrees and YOU and the feces eaters are the ones going to HELL for eternity. FUCK YOU dumbass fag lovers. I am not any stupid American political dumbass. I live in Canada, genius....not.

[Freedom4u2talk]

Do you know how much money Franks gets for the banking system see the bail out, search him out, a crook !

[KOHF34]

Oh my God, he tried to offer American Samoa as a Parlimentary Inquiry four times. Frank had every right to school him.

[ajgolfer1]

you got to read the bills.

[jinkasima]

our entire government is embarrassing

[SAMMYJS99]

damn.

yep, i guess sucking a long-one fits the bill.

fat-ass loser.

[NoahUF]

This is exactly why absolutely nothing gets done in Washington.

[Fanman904]

A way to find out about you question is to 1. READ THE BILL!

Republicans need to learn rules

[dragonspellz]

Haha! I love this vid. They are SO screwing with Barney Frank. PMSL!

[daderone]

lol stupid republicons

[texjoy86]

BARNEY FRANK FOR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

[PuddyKatz]

the mchenry guy is sorta cute for a short republican. do you think barney has a secret crush on him?

[tikadee]

Oh yes, democrats are so concerned about rules and propriety, that's why they all voted to crack down on Murtha breaking them. Oh wait, no they didn't.

[bigjaytexas]

Don't you just love the GOP,always on the lookout how to screw the working man.The GOP run over the Dems for the last 6 years,now they are crying in their soup,they are poor losers.

[x9one9x]

Democrats are Republicans and vice versa. Neither serve the people - both serve special interest groups, lobbyists and the Federal Reserve.

[HollisQueens]

I agree with buffalo, he's one of the great Democrats!!!! We need more like him.

[SalliesMan15]

Thank God for Barney Frank... Amazing

[buffalo]

He's one of the last great Democrats. He's bright, the most articulate member of the House, and he's willing to confront lies like no one else. Hooray for Barney Frank.

[reggaeirie1234]

hilarious!!!

[john2879]

Parliamentary inquiry is an inquiry..about the parli rules!! He's slipping through a question related to American Samoa, which is not a parli inquiry.

[bounce510]

Actually like Frank or hate him, he was correct on every point. It was the other Representative who either didn't know what he was doing or was hoping Frank wouldn't catch on. It's like trying to steal third. You hope the pitcher isn't watching but if he is you should suck it up and head back to second base.

[Elektra25970]

You tell 'em Frank. Don't let those house bitches get away with anything!

[niuchemist]

You're getting carried away ... it sounds more like the congressman was young and he didn't properly understand house rules.

[bounce510]

Young yes... but Points of Order and Parliamentary Questions imply their purpose in the name. He knew enough to use the phrases but not understand what they were for?

I guess we are confronted with the choice between he was ignorant or manipulative.

[masudrules]

dam frank's the man
