Barney Frank wants Cabinet post
By Bob Cusack - 09/07/09 05:07 PM ET
Rep. Barney Frank is interested in capping his political career as a member of the president’s Cabinet, according to a new biography of the Financial Services Committee chairman.
Frank (D-Mass.) told author Stuart Weisberg that he would like to be Housing and Urban Development secretary. However, the 69-year-old lawmaker stresses that his departure from Congress is not imminent.
He first wants to pass more legislation on affordable housing, saying, “I want at least two years with President Obama and a solidly Democratic Senate so that we can get the federal government back in the housing business.”
The last time a president appointed an openly gay Cabinet member happened during the Clinton administration.
Weisberg, who used to work for Frank on Capitol Hill, spent five years on his authoritative book, titled Barney Frank, The Story of America’s Only Left-handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman. He interviewed over 150 people, including compiling 30 hours of interviews with Frank.
Frank talks about how he struggled as a gay man growing up in blue-collar Bayonne, N.J. He dated women throughout high school and college, but knew he was gay at 13. Still, he delayed revealing his sexuality until he had established a foothold in the House.

Congwessman Bawney Fag wants to be Secwetawy Bawney Fag. Bawney Fwank is a piece of excrement and not fit for any job.
I think it’s a great idea! I can’t wait for the confirmation hearings....
He is in the House. I, too, would like to see him to to the cabinet because he would exercise about a tenth of the power there that he does now, and thus be able to do less damage.
What position do you think he likes? (maybe you better not answer that, LOL)
The competition for Cabinet posts is very stiff. But he’ll get it in the end.
So he's a liberal - but he's got a permanent press pass... we know this much - Obama's not going to appoint a conservative...
The only thing this guy deserves is a cell in a Federal prison for his criminal role in the destruction of America’s future.
In this administration Barney Frank would be a most suitable housing Cabinet Secretary.
They’ll have to widen the urinal stalls in the White House mens’ room to permit the “wide stance.”
“He first wants to pass more legislation on affordable housing, saying, “I want at least two years with President Obama and a solidly Democratic Senate so that we can get the federal government back in the housing business.””
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over and getting the same results.
Okay, the breaking news blast from The Hill said Barney “has [his] eye” on the post. Naturally, I asked myself, “Which one...the brown one?”
Oh yeah that’s right. Vietnam Kerry and KGB Ted were the Senators.
..I'm going to blow this joint...
.....and Nancy says..
..which side of the isle are you going to start on.....
With a nice big 300 lb black boy friend.
Does he want to run a prostitution ring out of government housing now?
He would be a perfect cabinet member: 1.) He does not pay his taxes, 2.) He lies on federal forms, 3.) He has proven himself to be incompetent on housing matters and 4.) He is a slut.
A perfect candidate for this administration.
IIRC, they tend to be black. Maybe gay+ Jewish = black, in Barney’s eyes...
Why reward Barney? Put him in a women’s prison...
The White House is loaded with communists and homosexuals. Barney would be at home here and later on when his life’s work is over he can go to hell where he’ll feel equally at home. amongst his own kind.
