Did the earth move for you?

By Mark Hemingway

So this financial Ragnarok may be in part attributable to the fact Barney Frank dated a Fannie Mae exec when he was head of the Banking committee from 1991-1998? The incredible thing is that just a few years prior to hopping in bed with Fannie Mae (literally), Frank was dating a guy who ran a prostitution ring out of his apartment. Who knew the pimp would turn out to be the more ethical boyfriend?

Re the post below on Congressman Frank and his Fannie male, a reader e-mails with a proposed Hollywood adaptation: Broke Bank Mountain. On the other hand, apropos 'gay mafias' in general: In defense of the BBC (words I never thought I'd type), Doctor Who has been turned into a multi-million dollar cash cow for the government-run Corporation. If the US Government put gays like that in charge of Fannie and Freddie, we might not be in this pickle. In fairness to Barney and his pal, they did manage to give Lehman Bros, Wachovia et al the amazing powers of Doctor Who's Tardis. One minute the bank's standing there, the next it's vanished. If only we knew where to. But somewhere out there is a distant galaxy that's suddenly acquired an amazing new ATM network.
