Can it be?

I don't know why the NYT ran this piece on long-time Representative Barney Frank, but I'm glad they did. Especially in Detroit, we need to hear once in awhile about the solid, smart, hard working people that are sometimes elected to office.

“Barney has been very fair,” said Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California and one of the most conservative members of the House. “I think that I have been treated more fairly, and a number of my Republican colleagues have been treated more fairly, since the Democrats have become the majority than I was treated by my own leadership.”

Mr. Frank politely interjected, “I know the gentleman joins me in looking forward to continued years of such treatment.”
