Frank, who served as the chairman of the Financial Services Committee when he was in Congress, once stormed off the set of CNBC after a heated exchange with the channel's Mark Haines. Haines and Frank were discussing limiting executive compensation.
"It seems to be that you're dealing with a model that no longer works," Haines said referring to Frank's proposal for changing executive pay rules. The conversation escalated and after Frank repeatedly tried to interject he ended the interview.

tweeting and retweeting and posting others' tweets, adds little or no content.
Counting the title it is stated five times, here.

Especially when you don't have much to say, but feel compelled to make it look otherwise.
