"Give me the names of those 12 people and I'll go talk uncharacteristically nice to them" - Frank !
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 07:55 PM by steve2470
from this article about the bailout bill:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i9VdejtNZSNIl0Jhij4P5UfAzzyAD93GMP500

House Banking Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., known for his quick, often acerbic wit, said the GOP leaders' complaints meant that some Republicans "decided to punish the country" because their feelings were hurt.

"Give me the names of those 12 people and I'll go talk uncharacteristically nice to them," he said.


I just thought that quote was funny as hell !!!
