Former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, the nation's first openly gay member of Congress and liberal darling, implied in a recent interview that he is also a "pot-smoking atheist."
Frank, a Democrat who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts from 1981 to 2013, made his comments last Friday while serving as a guest on a talk show hosted by Bill Maher, a stand-up comedian known for his atheist, liberal-slanted comedy routine.
Maher then went on to say that Frank was lucky to have worked in a "safe district" which didn't receive the kind of media attention that other congressional districts may have. Frank represented Massachusetts's fourth congressional district, which is comprised of mostly southern Massachusetts.
"You were not one of those Congress-people who have to worry about every little thing," the comedian said. "You could come on this show, and sit next to a pot smoking atheist, and it wouldn't bother you."
Frank then responded: "Which pot-smoking atheist were you talking about?" pointing to himself and implying that both he and Maher are "pot smoking atheists." Frank's response received applause and laughter from the audience, and the former congressman went on to speak about his opinion regarding using the bible for oaths when swearing into a government office.

He isn’t telling me anything that I didn’t already know.
You don't say ...
When he dies, he will be looking up with thoughts of all the chances he had to be looking down.
Bwarney is a trainwreck all the way through
He should have described himself as corrupt too.
Must... justify... perversion!
Oh, wait. Just become an atheist.
Heh!
jewish, gay, atheist, pot smoker, democrat, liberal and from Massachusetts to boot.
this man really has it all.
Dont much matter if he smokes or not.
I think you meant to say that joints aren't the only things he sucks on.
That’s just great. Why isn’t HE in jail along with all the other people busted for weed?
He is really gross.
How’d he leave fudgepacker out of the description?
Or taffy puller, chocolate dipper and then there all of the vegetable descriptive he left out. How about Anti American, Anti family, there are so many ways to describe himself and he limits it so.
Nothing good.
So surprised.
