2. WTF? Is that supposed to be some kind of slur on Frank's sexuality? Recommend you delete your post.

I was just making a harmless joke. People made careers out of mocking Barbara Walters speech impediment.

Tell me please what I've "lost"....

12. "Barn" is a newlywed (at his advanced age).

He's on the speaker's circuit these days. I think he would have liked holding down Kerry's Senate seat for one last brief fling at the Hill but that was not to be (Sen. Warren advocated for him but the governor went for Mo instead).

He's still on the forefront of drugs legalization as a way of emptying out the prisons and decriminalizing a benign, relatively speaking, activity.

Barn is a good guy.

13. I didn't think his sexual preference but his speech.

Barbara Walters was a 70's SNL joke done in a skit.

Different era, different senseabilities.

Just do a mea culpa and self delete.

We respect our Barney Frank on a distinguished carreer and a well handled personal life.

(It was rhe wee wee part if you must be told?) Bad double entendre for a gay person.

Don't defend and don't double down!

and never forgotten. He will continue to speak out for all Americans. He may have been elected by the people of Massachusetts, but I will always think of him as my Congressman. He represents me!
