Like Shooting Fish In A Barrel

A leading liberal Democrat in the House blasted ACORN Wednesday and said he is urging the White House to withhold any federal funding for the group.

"I am very disappointed in the actions that were taken by members of ACORN," Rep. Barney Frank, D-Massachusetts, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in a statement.

"I do not believe that ACORN's response has been adequate for an organization that has received public funding," he said.

[Unlike Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, eh, Barney?]

Frank said he is urging the Obama administration to withhold any additional funding for ACORN "at least until there is very firm evidence that the abuses of which ACORN members have been guilty have not only ceased, but that procedures are in place to prevent them from happening again."

"I'm shocked! Shocked! To find that [gambling, child sex slavery, toxic mortgages, whatever] is going on in here!"
