Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, "Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation." Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party. Frank's spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that his partner, James Ready, asked the ticket office for a regular ticket for himself and a senior ticket for Frank, "but was turned down because Frank didn't have a resident ID."
Why in the name of all that is decent is this man still representing his state and America?
What better evidence of the decline of the US than the perpetual re-election of Bonnie Fwank.
“Why in the name of all that is decent is this man still representing his state and America?”

Allowing for some overlap:
Massachusetts Union dead asses.
Massachusetts smug progressives.
Massachusetts racist entitlement blacks.
Massachusetts “smart” academics.
Massachusetts perverts.
Hmmmmm... Dating a much younger man... Does that mean Barney Frank is a "cougar"?
Barney behaves badly?
What about John F’n Kerry and his 7 million dollar yacht debacle?
I swear - I hate mASSachesetts for what the have done to our Country politically.
..... Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party.....
lololol. I’ve GOT to see a picture of that. I wonder if there is one!
Remember, he’s always a VICTIM!

This is the man who cost regular Americans billions. Its surreal.
As if Barney didn’t have the money to go to his favorite gay hang out. What is wrong with the people of Massachusetts that they keep electing this idiot to Congress? Is his district entirely gay?
Oh puke.
Serves me right for for trying to find a pictue.
This. This is what I found:

(it’s safe for work. But you still may want to steady your stomach.)
Now, having his prostitute boyfriend staffer run a call-boy ring out of his DC townhouse? That was an embarrassment
And being caught in Maine with his portly pot-puffing pillow pet James Ready and claiming he didn't know those plants James was growing were Merry Juana - that's embarrassing.
That Barney holds such power is the real indictment of Washington DC incumbents. Drain the Swamp.
Yes I know we will throw out some “good” politicians, but they can seek election in another capacity, as mayors or civic leaders of another sort. If they are truly motivated by serving the public, they will find a way. In the mean time America needs to reset under Constitutional principles and smaller government.
that party sounds like it’s gonna be a real blow out
And we’re paying for Barney’s viagra
Fire Island Pines is a gay island resort and beach destination that truly appeals to the luxury minded. We build on the casual island beach heritage, offering a luxury lifestyle resort experience. In addition to the beautiful beaches and stunning homes, the Pines harbor is home to a popular gym and pool, lounges, cafes, a hotel, a gourmet market and some fabulous restaurants. We also host two major events, Ascension and Bay Dance, that bring worldwide attendance to the island. The Pines is how downtown NYC does the beach.
The Pines is well-known by leaders in fashion, design, photography and the arts and has rapidly become the center of beach chic, taste and elegance.
Although a predominantly gay community, the Pines welcomes diversity and provides a wonderful home and vacation destination for anyone who appreciates a beautiful beach. This unique island town offers the best of both worlds in terms of peaceful relaxation and exciting nightlife. The Pines is a car-free community, only accessible by ferry, adding to its unique sense of tranquility.
Fire Island is a barrier island on the southern side of Long Island. Topographically, the Pines is virtually an extension of nearby Sunken Forest. Situated on a narrow portion of the island, the area closer to the bay is covered with dense growth almost concealing many of the homes built unobtrusively in the background. Lacing through the Pines are its most famous features, rollercoaster boardwalks, winding their way up, down and across the community in a pattern made to follow the natural terrain.
Originally the site of a Coast Guard station built in 1876 and known as Lone Hill Saving Station, the area was purchased by the Home Guardian Company in 1924 but little in the way of development occurred until after World War II. There was no electricity or amenities until 1960 when a 100 unit co-op complex was built. Builders stuck close to the cautious plans drawn up a quarter century before and allowed for preservation of the areas natural state.
The results are readily apparent today: houses are modern, sleek and stylish and blend in well with the surrounding terrain. With more than 700 homes, the Pines is not crowded for its size, large building lots helping to mitigate crowding. The careful integration of land and architecture has bequeathed a community that is modern, spacious and esthetically pleasing. In the three centuries since Isaac Stratford established his whaling station, the Island has undergone many changes . . . it has developed into a vacation-land whose few year-round inhabitants derive their living from providing goods and services to the summer visitors.
While thousands of Fire Islanders return each summer to live and vacation, thousands more make the voyage for the first time to see if all the things they heard are really true. And they are! You will discover, as everyone who visits does, that special secret magic of the Pines.
BTW: Here is the August schedule if you are in the mood for the special, secret magic at Fire Island. Rep. Barney Frank, who is sponsoring the bill to cut the military by $ 1 trillion. Your tax dollars at play.
$10 says the ticket agent was fired a day later.
I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes on Judgment Day.
Barney proves otherwise the belief that every human is a mix of good and bad. Whatever decency this vile, sputtering little sack started life with was expended long ago.
