Barney Frank just whips the hell out of Republican John Culberson while debating HR 1664, the Pay For Performance Act, on the floor yesterday. It’s really fun to watch an old school legislator show such complete mastery of the subject under debate and why the protestations from Culberson and other Republicans against limiting the compensation of TARP company executives are complete bunk. Frank is one of the members of the Democratic caucus who we see this kind of dominance from most frequently and it’s always a pleasure to watch.

It’s also nice to see him praising Senator Chris Dodd for his work to stop executive bonuses back in February.
