Barney Frank fires back at Newt Gingrich

In a GOP debate last month, Newt Gingrich and other GOP candidates criticized the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law.  Gingrich went as far as to suggest that the authors of the law be held accountable:

"If you want to put people in jail," he said, "you ought to start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and let's look at the politicians who created the environment, the politicians who profited from the environment, and the politicians who put this country in trouble."

Barney Frank fired back at Gingrich:

 
"Appawently, Newt Gingwich — who considoos himsewf one of the intewectual weaders of the fwee woold — is so embawassed by the fact that he is wunning behind Michewe Bachmann in Wepubwican polls that it has incweased his alweady well-devewoped pwopensity to utter outwandish things."
