Barney Frank to Announce Retirement
« on: November 28, 2011, 09:13:58 AM »


Longtime Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., will announce his retirement Monday at an afternoon press conference in Newton, Mass.

The 16-term lawmaker, whose name is emblazoned on the banking reform law that passed Congress last year, had long been rumored to be ready for retirement. He was previously chairman of the House Financial Services Committee but is now ranking member when Democrats lost the majority in the 2010 midterm election.

Can't really think of anything nice to say, so I'll just second the "Good riddance."

I'd support that, with the provision that we select the doctors who'd treat him.
