Barney Frank To Campaign Contributors: I Thought About Texting, Sexting, Lip-Synching 'Danke Schoen'

Barney Frank Campaign Contributors

The Huffington Post   Posted: 10/31/11 04:29 PM ET

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) wrote in a thank you letter to his campaign contributors that he was thinking of new ways to thank them, including "texting and sexting."

"I thought about lip-synching Eddie Fisher's version of 'Danke Schoen' on YouTube. Other possibilities suggested themselves -- some combination of friending, tweeting, texting and sexting," wrote Frank in the note obtained by Politico Influence.

The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat does not tweet. "I'm not at all interested in where my colleagues had lunch," he once quipped. He does have a Facebook page.

Frank raised just over $760,000 in the third quarter, having around $389,000 in cash on hand. Though his district is considered safe, he appeared vulnerable at one point during the 2010 election, lending his campaign $200,000. He won his seat by 11 points.

Frank, who paid back $100,000 in loans the third quarter to be debt-free, thanked his supporters for fending off "last year's right-wing onslaught."

*********

When Barney Frank was losing the election, his gay lover, posing as a photographer, went to press conferences and rallies of his opponent - to harrass his opponent = US Marine Sean Bielat.

There are videos of it on YouTube.

obstructing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from being audited and regulated - leading into the housing and banking meltdown - while his live-in lover worked there as a CPA - and was involved with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at the time of the embezzlement schemes of its board members being covered-up;

was caught running a gay prostititon ring out of his Washington DC apartment - that he blamed on one of his gay escorts;

was present during a DRUG BUST at his latest lover's house - when state and federal authorities raided the premises for sales and distribution of marijuana - wherein Barney Frank claimed he did not knw it was marijuana growing all over the place -

although he is pushing for legalizing marijuana - and does not know what it is or what it looks like.

In the Dodd-Frank Financial legislation, he refused to include the AUDITING of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -
with F & F requiring a BAIL-OUT, F & F collapsing - and obama removing the debt ceiling limit on F & F's access to US taxpayer money.

Obviously, there is still very much to hide - at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.....

beautiful career.....!

The Verminator is running for the Regressive nomination for President. Barney is running for re-election here in MA where his district is safe.

You're trying to compare 'apples and oranges'.

Barney, you need to get back to giving loans to losers. Did they take away your loan offices?

What's the matter, Joe? Tried to get a loan but got turned down because your credit sucked? Or are you just a typical truth-challenged tro//?

@ mdh461:

Never - because the democratic party need the RICH to make campaign contributions - so revising the tax code will affect VOTES for the democratic party.

@ chadizzy:

considering the last election, Barney Frank was being voted-out - when Republican = US Marine Sean Bielat = a new-comer - surprisingly ran against him -
that caused Barney Frank's gay lover to go to Bielat's rallies and press conferences - posing as a photographer to harrass Frank's opponent.

All of a sudden, Frank gets ahead like Franken.

The same one that said there is no problem with Fannie & Freddie and prevented any investigation that caused the Housing collapse. That smartest and wittiest Rep?

@ Cwalshjr:

DEMOCRATS are still trying to downplay what occurred - to continue to deceive the Ameican people - especially since Obama (falsely) portrayed he "inherited" the housing and banking meltdowns.

1. Lawyers cannot run this country.
2. Lacking a balanced budget, elected officials may serve only one term.

Citizens would be amazed at the immediate turnaround with the country by implementing (voting)these two guidelines.

No lawyers, eh? So no Abraham Lincoln, and therefore no Party of Lincoln.

The ONLY reason that this character is not in jail for operating a man-boy prostitution ring out of his DC office is because the Republicans are scared to death of the LIB MEDIA slander that would be aimed at them.......LIB MEDIA protecrs their own.

The only reason he isn't in jail for your imaginary offense is that it's imaginary.
03:04 PM on 11/28/2011
probably he is announcing his retirement - so early - because some other scandal is bubbling under the surface - just like the last time.
