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.

Lollipop Czar!
A perfect candidate for this administration.
Agree...Added one entry...There Fixed It for you.
Barney, the blundering bungler would be well suited to run a zoo filled with nothing. He really is not fit for any position.
Lets see, criminal indictment, or cabinet post, aww what the hell, lets stay in congress where we can do some some more real damage. If I wasn’t imperfect myself, I would love the assignment to reel in the fat ass, pompous, arrogant, queer.
What do you suppose he is like under the veneer after a coming to Jesus meeting, where it is made clear just what a danger he is to the well being of the Republic, and the people. Oh well just one of 535 not all of whom are such pompous blowhards.

Who sounds like Barry White. LOL!
He would enjoy a position on the President’s staff.
Oh Come on !! I bet he would.
Hedge his bet, that's what. He wants to avoid getting stomped in the next election, that's what. The old fudge-packer has seen the hand-writing on the wall.
Lol!
More like, he wants to be the FUDge Secretary.
The one on the right looks like he is tweaked on meth.
So, who recruited him?
He would enjoy a position on the President’s staff.
