What would you not want to happen if you were pushing legal-marijuana legislation? Oh I don’t know, maybe you wouldn’t want the fact that you were present when your boyfriend was arrested for possession of marijuana come out? That’s exactly what Rep. Barney Frank is going through right now; Frank is pushing the passage of legalized medical marijuana and now it comes out that Barney Frank was at his boyfriend’s house in 2007 when the man was arrested for possession.
According to a report out of Boston, Barney Frank was present when his boyfriend, James Ready was arrested for marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia. Barney Frank told authorities that he didn’t live at the house and that he only smokes cigars.
That’s what they all say, Barney.
Over at Atlas Shrugs you can see some of Barney Frank’s, shall we say questionable relationships. He apparently has a proclivity for getting mixed up with nefarious characters and then uses his position to influence or back legislation in their favor. There’s nothing unethical about that whatsoever.
Of course the lefties are saying this is a two year old story and Fox News dredged it up just to make the congressman look bad, nah, Congressman Frank seems to do that all on his own.
FOX25 has learned that Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready's home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.
According to a police report, police charged Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia in August of 2007. Ready admitted to civil possession and paid a fine. The remaining charges were dismissed in 2008.
Sources tell FOX25 that when Frank was questioned he told police that he did not live in the house and that he only smoked cigars.
Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn't recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, "not a great outdoorsman," and ,"wouldn't recognize most plants."(FOX) hat tip best
Low lives are running this country. Frank is pushing a bill to legalize marijuana.
He has such contempt for this country, for anyone who dares question him. Listen to him talk down to the reporter asking about the story.
Barney Frank's lover, Stephen L. Gobie, ran a gay prostitution ring out of Frank's home.
Barney Frank's lover, Herb Moses, was a Fannie Mae executive at the forefront of the agency’s push to relax lending restrictions. Frank became the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in 2007 after the Democratic Party won a majority in the House. The committee oversees the entire financial services industry, which includes the securities, insurance, banking, and housing industries.
And now Barney is pushing weed legislation while he dallies with his pothead lover.
Let's hope he doesn't tumble head over heels with a jihadi.
And he has the nerve to talk down to us.
But seriously, folks, this country needs a giant purge. Who votes for these freaks?
“Smoking cigars” is code for what? /rhetorical
Nope. The contradiction to that statement could be put very succinctly, but in the end, crudely.
I heard his preferred brand was White Owls :-)
PLEASE, my ears. Talking about a giant purge, and Barney in the same sentence?
My problem is “arrested for possession” at his own house? How does that happen?
2007? 1) Why is it taking so long to break this story? 2) Why bother to respond now?
“The marijuana prohibition is so silly. The government tells us which leaves we can smoke.”
Yeah...and they don’t allow us to drive drunk, either. Pitiful.
“PLEASE, my ears. Talking about a giant purge, and Barney in the same sentence?”
The similarity, the affinity, the dietary or the imagery? Or all of the above?
Some folks have one track minds. Frank could rape children and get picked up on a drug charge and they would scream about the drug charges.
“Smoking cigars” is code for what? /rhetorical
Considering his sexual orientation are you sure it isn’t
White Dicks??? If aids is Gods gift to butt riders how come this POS hasn’t got it yet?
“Some folks have one track minds. Frank could rape children and get picked up on a drug charge and they would scream about the drug charges.”
Yeah...this usually happens with lefties, they draw you into a stupid, pointless argument, ignoring the laws on the books...when the unfortunately named Gerry Studds (D-MA) was busted for sodomizing a teenage male page, the argument became about whether the boy was seventeen or eighteen, or whether the act took place after his eighteenth birthday, but the actual seduction, kissing and petting ONLY was when he was seventeen, pretty clearly illegal, but the SODOMY part was not? He was returned to his job by the MAssholes. When he re-entered, his “colleagues” gave him a round of applause for “not giving up the fight” to retain his seat...pardon the expression...
Clinton never smoked cigars. He just dipped them.
Considering his sexual orientation are you sure it isn’t White Dicks??? If aids is Gods gift to butt riders how come this POS hasn’t got it yet?.
"Smoking a White Owl " is an old slang term for doing just that :-)
Barney Frank . . . smoking cigars . . . Fanny Mae
Way too many jokes here
Ah, the old leather cigar excuse.
And they don’t let us drive impaired on any number of prescription or non prescription things you can get legally at a drug store. So what. I am not aware of pot infusing a person with a sense of false bravado like the fruit of the vine can. Neither was drunk driving the reason America flirted with alcohol prohibition.
That said, Barney would be wise to let somebody else carry the ball on this one (can anything be said without snickers about someone so flamingly homo?). Let it be spearheaded (snicker...) by someone who isn’t haunted by such scandal.
Why do you think you should be able to drive drunk?
Do you think that because some people drive drunk, there should be a prohibition on alcohol?
” If aids is Gods gift to butt riders how come this POS hasn’t got it yet?”
Cuz he’s a pitcher not a catcher. He does the same thing to the country as he does to his boyfriends. BOHICA
....he only smoked cigars.
I heard his preferred brand was White Owls :-)

Really? I always believed he smoked a pipe. Yeah. He’s always been known as a pipe-smoker.
Frank is a liar. He lied about the male prostitution operation, the banking collapse, and the pot farm. How do these voters keep putting this liar back into office?
Or all of the above?
All of the above and more, as long as I don’t have to conjure up the imagery.
Trust me, he puffs on more than stogies.
It took how many years to hear about this.........ANOTHER Reason for TERM LIMITS - there should be NO Lifetime poriticians. GET THEM OUT of office I don’t care whether they are republican, democrat or as in most cases IDIOTS.
We wouldn’t have the mess we have today if every four years there was a turn over, along with their staff.
BETTER YET make it 25 states get democrats 25 states get republicans in 4 years they switch. THAT would end all this crap!
