On Wednesday, Frank told the Boston Herald that, “it is a common thing in Fox News reports that, “Frank explained to the news paper that he helped his ex-companion, Herb Moses, get a job at Fannie Mae in 1991 when one of its executives approached him about Moses, who had graduated with a master’s degree in business administration from Dartmouth College and had applied for a job at the mortgage company.” At the time, Frank was a junior member of the House Financial Services Committee. Apparently, he told the executive that he believed Moses would be “great” for the “entry-level position.” According to Fox News, “when asked if he should have revealed his efforts to help Moses, Frank told the newspaper, ‘it was widely known. It was out there in the public.

written by D. C. Irving , May 28, 2011 Come on, folks, what else do you really expect of Barney Frank? Her's got nothing but his constituents undying loyalty regardless of the numerous peccadilloes of a very faulted, immoral man. Now that some of the school districts want to teach the history of homosexuals and their contributions, they should start with Uncle Barney, a role model for whom? Write comment

Rep. Barney Frank (D.-Ma.) claims there was no conflict of interest when he helped his former gay lover secure a job with Fannie Mae 20 years ago while he served on the committee charged with overseeing the lending giant.
