Barney Frank wants to see Rep. Djou's birth certificate
Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii).
Yes, tongue-in-cheek and Barney Frank appeared in the same sentence. EWWW!
As Djou was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker's Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to "do your job" and review Djou's papers.
Hey Media. Djou review Djou's papers?
It was a small bit of payback for the enormous amount of attention some conservatives (and the media) paid to the is-the-president-really-from-America controversy. But, unlike the commander-in-chief, as Frank knows, being born outside the U.S. does not preclude you from becoming a member of Congress.
Just poking some fun at the Media. I'll stop here before I get out of control.
