Barney Frank, who would have made a good center square on
The Hollywood Squares, and who would have bluffed all the time, insists there is such a thing as
honest graft:
Asked whether banking interests feel obligated to give to Democrats when he asks them for contributions, Frank answered: "Obligated? No. Incentivized? Yes." Frank said, however, that those donating "understand, and others do, too, that there are no guarantees of my doing what they want, or even my being pleasant."TRANSLATION: The hell with pleasantries, I'm getting what's coming to me!
