Frank took a dig at Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who interrupted his campaign to return to Washington on Thursday to help work on a Wall Street bailout.
"All of sudden, now that we are on the verge of making a deal, John McCain here drops himself in to help us make a deal, Frank said.
This is the same crap McCain pulled during the debate on a new immigration bill:
McCain's temper: a problem or an asset?

WASHINGTON — John McCain made a quick stop at the Capitol last spring to sit in on Senate negotiations on the big immigration bill, and John Cornyn was not pleased.
Cornyn, a mild-mannered Texas Republican, saw a loophole in the bill that he thought would allow felons to pursue a path to citizenship.
McCain called the claim "chicken-s — ," according to people familiar with the meeting, and charged that Cornyn was looking for an excuse to scuttle the bill. Cornyn grimly told McCain he had a lot of nerve to show up suddenly and inject himself into the sensitive negotiations.
"F — you," McCain told Cornyn, in front of about 40 witnesses.
We can hope that McCain lashes out at Frank the same way he did at Cornyn.
