I have to take a break and realize this will kill my appetite for the rest of the morning, anytime I read something about this perv.
The only openly gay congressman, Barney Frank, has long been subject to homophobic attacks. Happily, the Massachusetts liberal is master of the precision-guided comeback, which he unleashes with devastating results.

Frank recently told antiwar activists holding vigils outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco that they've seen too many showings of "The Wizard of Oz." They think Pelosi is Glenda the Good Witch, he said, who can wave her wand and make the Iraq war go away. Changing the war's direction requires compromise. On things like appropriations, he notes that Democrats don't have the votes to override presidential vetoes. "We're going to have to accept inadequate funding for a whole range of issues."
Frank sees the campaign to push transgender rights into the anti-discrimination bill as creating a potential "Terri Schiavo" moment for the Democrats -- that is, a situation where the fringes drag their party into a crusade that makes the broader public think its leaders are out of their gourds.
There's No Pleasing the Fringes

He started life named Piyush and worshipped at the altar of Hinduism. His conversion to Roman Catholicism and "Bobby" (a name he took from Bobby Brady of "The Brady Bunch") had nothing to do with political aspirations. I mean, I know my state - especially those "David Duke voters" - would vote for a Hindu named Piyush, wouldn't they?
I can look past U.S. Rep. Bobby "Piyush" Jindal, R-Kenner, being a manufactured candidate. I understand political realities and the need to fit in, especially in Louisiana. What I cannot forgive, however, is the offensiveness which Piyush perpetuates through his record in Congress during the past three years.

As if this were not enough, he voted against expanded funding for stem cell research. The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 would have allowed medical science to make groundbreaking research into curing cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, just to name a few. Curing disease is one of those issues the pro-life camp is seemingly against, and therefore Piyush had no choice but to stand with the group he is beholden to on the issue. We saw this same level of commitment to the pro-lifers when he voted to give jurisdiction to federal courts on the Terri Schiavo issue as she lay brain dead in a Florida hospital.
Just say no to Piyush "Bobby" Jindal this election
