Barney Frank Defends ACORN Backing

In a letter to the editor of the WSJ, Barney Frank explains why he missed the vote to defund ACORN - he was attending a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House for a soldier from his district. As such, he was not weaseling out of the vote.

In fact, Frank still supports ACORN fully and seems to have no problem with its giving advice on how to set up underage prostitution rings. He seems to know a think or two about illegal prostitution rings...
