WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Barney Frank took a dig today at the Republican lawmaker who organized a protest by conservatives against health care legislation.

Frank, a Massachusetts liberal, told an audience: "Some of the people (at the rally) that wanted to engage me in conversation appeared to have been the losers in the ’Are you smarter than Michele Bachmann contest?’."

Well Barney, everybody is smarter than you, that is for sure. Bachmann-mother of 5, lawyer, congresswoman. Frank- runs a prostitution ring out of taxpayer funded apartment.

Of course, Barney knows what is right for everyone. Anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint, he thinks is an idiot. Got news for you Barney, change is coming, and it\'s not the hopiness and changiness you might expect.

Classy as always, Bawney.

Massachusetts. The state that all the other states laugh at. And this guy is one of the primary reasons. What a clown.

It's going to be really funny in 2010 when Frank is reelected in a landslide and wingnut Bachmann is put out to pasture.

Unfortunatly you're right, and it'll be funny for all the rest of the Country laughing at us.

Just like their laughing at the city of Boston for re-electing Chuck Turner. Everyone knows that this state can't look past the letter at the end of the pol's name. If a federal indictment can't stop someone from being re-elected, why should being one of the main causes of the real-estate/economic crisis?
