His last name is pronounced “Ree-dee”, not “Red-dee”.
Otherwise we could drag out the song
“Are you ready?
Yes I’m ready
Are you ready?
Yes I’m ready
To fall in love, to fall in love...”

Bielat: You know we can send you some.
Ready: You better get used to it dude. You want to be
a Congressman. You’re a nothing.
Bielat: You’re with Barney, right?
...
Ready: With the joke, man. You know you’re not funny at all.
Bielat: Are you, are you serious?
Ready: That was not funny. You just tried two jokes and they’re not even funny.
Bielat: You’re really standing here and heckling me?

“Barney, you’re times up...It’s time for someone new. If you don’t like the new guy you can vote him out in 2 years.
Barney has forgotten who he works for. I’m sick and tired of Barney treating people like idiots.”
An ad for Sean Bielat, 2010. Republican ran against Frank
(giving him his first real challenge in years) and he’s running again. Probably Dem opponent: Joe Kennedy III. Really.
Frank decided against running again partially because conservative towns were added to his district and partially because even if he won, it wouldn’t be fun if GOP controlled the House. Maybe Bielat’s relatively strong showing helped to convince him it was time.
