Barney Frank Gets Tongue-Lashing on Plane Posted by Sean Alfano

Congressman Barney Frank endured the not-so-friendly skies Monday on a trip back east from California as a pair of doctors upset over the recent health care overhaul confronted the Massachusetts Democrat, the Boston Globe reported.

The verbal row began, apparently, when the doctors, two sisters who are ophthalmologists and were headed to a conference in Boston, began criticizing the bill -- calling it an "Obamanation" -- upon noticing Rep. Frank nearby.

"They wanted to talk to me, but I apologized and said I like to read and watch on planes," Frank told the Globe. Frank said the women talked louder and then his partner, Jim Ready, told the women, "If you're trying to be bitchy, you're doing a good job."

>"“Barney Frank sticks out like an Ooompah Loompah everywhere he goes”

OMG, ROTFLMAO!"

His boyfriend doesnt help matters any....

That just reminded me of high school, where the term was bufu. Had to tell a woman years later that I couldn’t possibly wear a Fubu shirt...”and I can’t even tell you why.”

Barneys bitch calling these women bitchy. How ironic.

Jim Ready.....I bet he is.

[Tallguy]

...and anyone who has ever seen Barney on tv knows he couldn’t keep his big offensive mouth shut for 2 seconds.

Yep! The hardest thing to believe about this entire tale is that Barney didn't come right back at these doctors with an extended fillibuster/rant. That's is style.

[Lizavetta]

You had to say that, didn’t you?

[Gen. Burkhalter]

Have any credible candidates filed to run against Frank? If he is ever to be defeated, this would be the best year to do it.

Yea old joke about: Why Gay men lisp? Because of an overdeveloped tongue

" .. Jimmy (Ready) said, 'If you're trying to be bitchy, you're doing a good job."

I can see the three bitches now ... facing off ....

[ml/nj]

If I were with a likeminded friend, I would just start talking ABOUT him in a voice loud enough to be overheard. I'm sure I wouldn't run out of NICE things to say on a six hour flight!

Something about this post reminds me of the movie Airplane:

Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I’ve never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?

OR

[an epidemic of food poisoning is sweeping the plane]
Captain Oveur: What is it, Doctor? What’s going on?
Rumack: I’m not sure. I haven’t seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

This is the Obamacare “Rostenkowski Effect” in action.

There will be a lot more of this in the future.

[dusttoyou]

So can someone from Mass tell us why this teabagger keeps getting re-elected? The queer doesn’t even bother to put his false teeth back in in public!!

[mikrofon]

-—his partner, Jim Ready-—

Is that as in “Rough & _____” or “_____, Willing, and Able”?

[Slings and Arrows]

TMI, dude.

[a fool in paradise]

Bitchy tounge-lashing for Barney Frank on a Virgin airline.

Imagine that.

Many opthamologists are oddly excited by the toast, "Here's mud in your eye."

That appears to describe that pair.

Beware eyes in the sky!
