Today on Mass. Politicians: Barney behaving badly
But you throw your own money around like a manhole cover, right, Barney? Oh, wait...maybe I shouldn't have said "manhole cover".
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.
I wonder if, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!" got dropped in the conversation?
Ha. Why do I even ask?
A witness reports, "Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation."
Smart move that you didn't. He'd probably grab your wallet. It's the only way he knows...
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.
Ewww...there's a disturbing image.
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."
Maybe next time, Kerry can give him a ride over on his famous new boat. I'd even bet that Jawnny gives him the senior discount.
