OK. I admit it is in questionable taste to use the word flaming to describe today's winner. But it has nothing to do with his sexual preference.
Barney Frank
Now he has many reason to win this award. And if I were doing it on a daily basis he and Chuck (E Cheese) Schumer would probably corner the market, leaving prescious little to the rest of the sphincters in the public sector.
But Barney wins again. And not just for playing the gay card. But upon whom he dropped it. In an unprovoked attack Frank, while discussing gay marriage, told 365gay.com:
"I wouldn't want it to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that
homophobe Antonin Scalia has too many votes on this current court."
Now unless you are a brain addled Representative from Massachusetts you know that each Justice gets only one vote... this is not ACORN, this is the SCOTUS. Also, Scalia is one of the members of the SCOTUS who gets it about the meaning of the constitution. The reason Frank would not want it to go to the SCOTUS now is he knows it would be rejected as a state's rights issue... that whole 10th Amendment thing that big government liberals like Frank can't seem to understand.
While I predict Justice Scalia will take the high road and not respond to Frank's attack, it would be awesome if he, or more likely his attorney gave Barney a lesson in libel laws.
I think he still holds a grudge over not being allowed to run the gay prostitution ring out of his apartment. A felony for which, no surprise, he was never prosecuted.
