Did Barney Frank Just Kill Real Reform?

Alain Sherter writing on BNET thinks so.

It’s a sad day. But it’s been years now since the word, reform, became a joke and cover for every ridiculous, mendacious and counterproductive scheme developed by the mind of the bottom dwelling scum eating legislator to squirm along the channel of campaign contributions.

So, we’re getting “reform.” Very little or nothing masquerading as substance. Great. It’s like substituting grass for all those green vegetables in your diet. It looks green. And isn’t that the same thing?
