| Barney Frank wants to see Rep. Djou's birth certificate |
| 2010-05-26 |
| 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. |

| #3 Good. Every politician wanna be should produce their documents, just as the government demands everyone else to do for various reasons. The only thing I will ever agree with Bawney on. |

| #2 wouldn't be the first, or last, time Barney's had a tongue firmly in someone's cheeks |

| #1 I think Djou should take Obama's "birth certificate", cross out Obama's name, write in his and present it to Barney in front of news cameras. |
