Rep. Barney Frank won't seek re-election

That is one disgusting individual that I hope we don't here from ever again unless it's a statement after his conviction for corruption.

Washington (CNN) -- Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, a prominent 16-term liberal Democrat and arch-enemy of political conservatives nationwide, will announce Monday he does not intend to seek re-election in 2012, according to a statement from Frank's office.

Frank will hold a news conference in his district to discuss the decision at 1 p.m.
