Shorter Uncut Guinta-Pindell Interview

by: Dean Barker

Wed Oct 13, 2010 at 21:31:22 PM EDT
Shorter uncut Guinta-Pindell interview:
* I didn't answer Jon Greenberg's simple, direct question because I had to go potty.

* The disclosure forms have something like 100, 120, 150, 1,000,000,000 pages of rules and requirements!

* Democrats are mean.

* I won the primary, so stop bringing up all the questions Fergus, Bradley, Bestani, Mahoney and Ashooh were asking about the mystery money. I won, they lost, case closed.

* I won't show a bank statement and end this today because I'm standing "on principle". Because I want to talk about issues, although not showing a bank statement prevents me from talking about the issues.  Democrats are mean, also.

But watch the whole thing, below the fold.  And kudos to Pindell for not letting up, especially about why has hasn't put the issue to bed with a simple bank statement.

UPDATE: Please also read Kathy's take on it.

and that's just Frank in the seat!  Check out part deuce, listen to Frank all the way through.  Then, mute the volume and watch as Pindell tries one more time at about the 7 minute mark to get to the truth.  Watch Frank almost jump out of the camera shot and keep an eye on the cheeks - holy tomato face, Batman.  Pindell knows he's lying.  So do I.

What do you say?

I don't get the sense that he's consciously lying. (0.00 / 0)
Frank's got a problem with fact and opinion.

Fact = what he believes to be true

Opinion = what someone else asserts as facts and he rejects as false

One point I'd make is that when money is involved, a matter is ipso facto not private.  If people want to keep matters private, they should rely on their word of honor.  Money is a public utility.  When people abuse what we have determined to be proper use, then we have reason to be concerned.  'Cause it's our good faith and credit that's on the line.

As I understand it, parents can give children $10,000 a year tax free.  I don't think an inheritance can be distributed ahead of time, but there are strategies which enable parental assets to be set aside in such a way that no estate tax will be collected.  However, that must be constricting in some way that made it preferable to have 2010 as a one-year window in which no estate tax is levied at all.  That was some sort of "compromise" which it was worth the gamble that the reinstatement of the old rates in 2011 could not be avoided.  Perhaps the whole thing was just an incentive to get parents, who are living longer and longer, to loose the purse strings sooner, so the children don't have to wait so long.  Maybe Frank's parents didn't know that he was planning to waste his inheritance on a run for Congress.
