"60 Minutes" Barney Frank Commercial
"60 Minutes" Barney Frank lovefest was in full fear on December 14th in its profile of the voluble of the House Banking Committee - portraying Frank as the irascible but lovable public servant who is working 24/7 to save the planet from the financial crisis. What is skated over is Frank's complicity in its origins, his former partner who was knee deep at Fannie Mae and Frank's little episode with a prostitution ring being run out of his domicile - which of course, he didn't know about - as if any other politician would get away with that jive.
I saw the Frank commercial. What I thought was revealing was that when Frank came to terms with being gay he said he was sad and depressed. I wonder exactly what he was sad about. Nobody goes to a doctor and says, "Doc, I have a problem; I am a heterosexual".

I am disappointed in the interview with Barney Frank. It seemed more like a commercial/Biography than a hard hitting and informing 60 Minutes piece. I am 37 and I expect more from Lesley Stahl!!! Based upon the other comments posted, I wonder what you think of her work as well?
