Seriously, Why Is Barney Frank Such A Sourpuss?

“In this world ye shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer.” John 16:33
“Receive every man with good cheer.” From Judaism’s Ethics of the Fathers
The Judeo-Christian tradition teaches us to be of good cheer. But Barney Frank seems to have raised the sour puss to an art form. It struck me today while watching his appearance on Fox News Sunday, alongside Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and economist Mark Zandi of Moody’s.
In the normal course of an interview, you’d expect people to flash a smile at least twice: when they’re introduced and when their host bids them goodbye. Have a look at the tape I’ve edited, and notice how Corker does just that. Zandi is of more neutral mien, but he is a practitioner of the Dismal Science, after all. Then there’s Barney, who manages to maintain a funereal mien throughout. Between the beginning and end of the clip I’ve also included a couple moments in between, during which Frank remains similarly stone-faced. Trust me, I haven’t edited out any bit where Barney breaks into a laugh and a song.

It’s because he is a deviant, pure and simple. Self-hatred juxtaposed with uncontrollable urges couple with the probability that, even with his liberatti power, he can’t get the ‘young, good-looking’ sweetpants anymore.

If you’d have been hit in the face with as many balls as he has been, you’d be a sourpuss, too.
