No, Barney, I Think It’s Time the Adults Drove the Housing Market for A While.

Barney Frank has a new book out which reveals that he really wants to be a member of Barack Obama’s cabinet. It also reveals that he is utterly incapable of learning from his own mistakes.

Rep. Barney Frank is interested in capping his political career as a member of the president’s Cabinet, according to a new biography of the Financial Services Committee chairman.

Frank (D-Mass.) told author Stuart Weisberg that he would like to be Housing and Urban Development secretary. However, the 69-year-old lawmaker stresses that his departure from Congress is not imminent.

He first wants to pass more legislation on affordable housing, saying, “I want at least two years with President Obama and a solidly Democratic Senate so that we can get the federal government back in the housing business.”

Yeah. Let’s do that. It obviously went so swimmingly last time. What could possibly go wrong?

To Frank, I can only say: Whoa! Slow down there, Sparky. Before we let you get your grubby paws on the helm of the S.S. Sub-Prime Mortages again, we’re going to need just a little bit of time to dig ourselves out of the monster recession your ignorant meddling got us into in the first place, okay?

Maybe, if you’re good and finish reading that Thomas Sowell economics book and pass a couple written tests, we’ll let you near our housing market again. Until then, have a little nap and dream your crazy dreams of Cabinet stardom.
