Being vilified by some of those people is a badge of honor, he said. My one regret about leaving is that some of these people may derive some comfort from it, but they shouldnt, because Im going to be there fighting them just as hard in this other venue.
His penchant for petulance was on display at times Monday; at his news conference, he dismissed what he called a gotcha question from a reporter about his personal investments and, upon learning she worked for Fox News, said, Quelle surprise.
He also said he looked forward to leaving office so that I dont even have to pretend to try to be nice to people I dont like, leading another reporter to ask, Have you ever?
Some of you may not think Ive been good at it, Mr. Frank said. But Ive been trying.
I'm going to miss this guy.
