Barney Frank, King of Pork

So apparently the idea of pork has been expanded. This article talks about how Frank defended Fannie and Freddie, along with other measures that led to huge bonuses to executives. Seems to me that pork not only deals with bringing money back to one's constituency, but also to enabling corporations the means to alter their books to get extra bonuses. That is a pretty far stretch, and just more finger pointing instead of solving the problem.
