Barney is such a loser. How do people like this keep getting elected?
One word:
Gerrymandering
Shows 'radical's grasp of politics.
Barney Frank was NOT gerrymandered into his seat if fact it's a good bet you'd have liked his predecessor even less, the last Catholic priest to serve in Congress the late Rev. Robert Drinan. A former dean of the Boston College School of Law, who'd of identified closely with the current president.

Heck yeah, Mass. invented gerrymandering almost 2 centuries ago, we've moved on way past that kind of thing. It's so 19th century.
As for his predecessor, that is the late Rev. Robert Drinan, SJ to be precise. A credit to an order that has prided itself on producing rational thinkers capable of fine use of logic and teaching others in that usage. As a formerly observant member of the church, members of that order were the ones I most often found and still find tolerable holding an intelligent conversation with.

Dingelberries are fun to have around, they never talk back and agree with everything you think or say before you even say it.
