Barney Frank on Ron Paul (and not on Steady Cam)

I’m sorry folks, but ever since I testified before his committee (though he was never in the room when I was speaking!), I have liked Barney Frank. There’s all kinds of funny stuff in this clip (HT2LRC)–especially watch for him talking about the Democrats treating Ron Paul better than the Republicans did–but note that he says something and then catches himself, “I take that back…” Just little acts of human courtesy and humility like that are what I like about him. Not saying it overshadows his role in the housing boom, but c’mon it’s a low bar he has to get over to be one of my favorite Congressmen.
