Talking out your ass again. In 1990, the House voted to reprimand Frank when it was revealed that Steve Gobie was running a prostitution business from Frank's apartment. Frank had dismissed Gobie earlier that year after learning of Gobie's activities.
The Boston Globe, among others, called on Frank to resign, but he refused. The House Ethics Committee recommended Frank be reprimanded because he "reflected discredit upon the House" by using his congressional office to fix 33 of Gobie's parking tickets. Attempts to expel or censure Frank failed; instead the House voted 408-18 to reprimand him. This condemnation was not reflected in Frank's district, where he won re-election in 1990 with 66 percent of the vote, and has won by larger margins ever since. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Frank --- Ed Leafe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Oct 1, 2006, at 2:09 PM, john harvey wrote: > > > The Republicans have thrown out the sicko. > > Funny, I don't consider keeping him as the head of > the Congressional > caucus to prevent child abuse for nearly a year > until the story broke > "throwing him out". > > > The Democrats protected Barnie > > Frank, McGreavy and Clinton for inappropriate > behavior. > > Barney Frank has never been accused of any sort of > "inappropriate > behavior".
