In the immortal words of some Oscar-winning song or another, It’s Hard Out There For A Pimp.

Even a poverty-pimp who’s held a sinecure largely on the basis of “elite” business connections that’d make Ken Lay blanche with embarassment.

That’d be Barney Frank.  The guy’s got a tough row to hoe, and I think the strain is catching up with him:

“It’s like the Salem witch trials, and healthcare is the witches,” Frank said. “There is mass hysteria.”

That’s right.  Obamacare is an innocent victim, caught up in mob hysteria (because what is the only thing mass movements do, when they’re not electing pretty-boy empty suits  to the Presidency?), supported only by a political party that came into this term with a near-epic mandate (although get back to us in November). 

Just like those witches.

I’ll give him some credit.  He got it half right.  At least Obamacare deserves to be lit on fire.
