THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 2, 2011 MALKIN from 8


government-sponsored lenders have bled billions and will soak up an es- timated $400 billion in bailout funds. Financial journalist Gretchen Mor- genson reported this week that Frank “was very ag- gressive and really tough” on Fannie critics after the corrupt institution “rolled out the red carpet” for his ex-lover. After his friend with crony benefits broke up with him, Frank re- mained a dogged Fannie defender. Sneering at financial


reformers before a 2003 House hearing, Frank as- serted: “I want to begin by saying that I am glad to consider the legisla- tion, but I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis. That is, in my view, the two government- sponsored enterprises we are talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. ... I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.” Not that such spectacu-


lar bad judgment and lack of foresight should be any surprise coming from a politician whose early ca- reer was punctuated by a formal reprimand for us- ing his office to fix another lover/prostitute’s parking


tickets and lying about his criminal probation history. As a cocky Frank said at the time of that scandal: ‘’I think members of Congress rise or fall on their own individual re- cords.’’ Eventually, yes.

com – Daniel Greenfield: “Let’s compare two coun- tries side by side. Country A has a sizable middle class and economy, so- cial welfare benefits and a low birth rate. Country B is a failed state where thugs run amok in the street, a few families con- trol the economy and the birth rate is off the charts. Country A’s citizens are taught that nationalism is evil and that everyone should get along. Coun- try B’s citizens are taught that they are the great- est people that ever lived and would be running the


world if not for Country A. But despite all this, Country B’s citizens all want to move to Country A. And Country A wants to let them because Coun- try A needs new workers to subsidize its welfare state and voters who will vote for pro-social welfare parties.”


METZLER from 9 According to Hillel Neu-


er of the rights-monitor group UN Watch, “Con- go, Kuwait and Nicara- gua have poor records in respecting the basic hu- man rights of their own citizens, and have con- sistently voted the wrong way on UN initiatives to promote and protect the human rights of others.” In fact, fewer than half


of the 47 member council can be characterized as democracies. They none- theless present another flawed reflection of the world.
