Barney Frank wants Cabinet post
2009-09-08
Rep. Barney Frank is interested in capping his political career as a member of the president's Cabinet, according to a new biography of the Financial Services Committee chairman. Frank (D-Mass.) told author Stuart Weisberg that he would like to be Housing and Urban Development secretary. However, the 69-year-old lawmaker stresses that his departure from Congress is not imminent.
Man oh man but the Senate confirmation hearing would be a lot of fun. Beck, Hewitt and Limbaugh would be beside themselves ...
I hear there's an opening for Green Jobs Czar.

#16  Is he finished buggering the economy? Or maybe he isn't and wants that Green Jobs czar position.

As far as I'm concerned, the only post he is qualified to handle is one he can sit on.

#11  The HUD secretary post is the least prestigious post in the cabinet. It seems to be that being a congressman is way more of an honor.

Age? I think not. Subliminal advertising?

#5  If Barney doesn't get the Cabinet job, at least he can call back on the escort service operating out of his home.
