Senator Barney Franks
Seamax ^ | 3/24/2003 | Fr. Michael Reilly

If you're a pessimist, watch out! The AP reported last Friday that if John Kerry is elected President, Rep. Barney Frank (D, Mass) might seek his Senate seat.

If that's not enough, the only thing that could keep him from seeking a Senate seat is if the Democrats win back the majority in the House. A Democratic majority would mean that Franks becomes the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee. Talk about choosing your poison!

"If it looked like we were going to stay in the minority, I would be very inclined to do it," said the 12th-term congressman.

Barney Frank would be the first openly gay member of the United States Senate and would be in full accord with the Massachusetts hit-parade of Ted Kennedy, Gerry Studds, Tip O'Neill, et al.

Isn't this obvious?

Ball-park Franks likes a little Senate seat from time to time.

No. And it's old news here too - there was a thread a few days back about it.

I always wondered one thing. Is "Al Trent" in Tom Clancy's books supposed to be Barney Frank?
