Barney is such a funny guy, although this joke isn’t as good as the one he told back in 1989 when he said that he let a gay male prostitute operate out of his house in Washington because he thought he was “going to be Henry Higgins and trying to turn [the gay male prostitute] into Pygmalion.”
Just a quibble, but Pygmalion was the sculptor. The statue eventually turned into Galatea.
But Barney Frank remains an unflushed turd.
