U.S Representative Barney Frank is considered by most to be the most prominent gay politician in the country. He brought his fiancee, who's a welder and has little to do with Frank's political world, with him to "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (Weeknights, 12 a.m. EST on ABC), where he got to show off his handiwork.
Kimmel noticed that the wedding ring Frank was wearing was black, which is certainly an unusual color choice. Frank explained that it was an idea his fiancee Jim had come up with to represent the very real world of welding that Jim lives in. "I live as an elected official that's got some reality to it, but occasionally floats away from what would be the real world," Frank said. "And this is a reminder ... of the real world."
When asked his opinion of the remaining candidates for President in the Republic field, Frank was quick to say, "I think we can beat Rick Santorum, even if the devil stays out of it."
But regardless of who the Republican party nominates to run against President Obama, Frank feels confident. "I don't think any of the winners of this Republican mudslide are going to defeat the President," he said.
Catch "Jimmy Kimmel Live" every weeknight at 12 a.m. EST on ABC.

The sad lesson of Dodd-Frank is that Wall Street is too powerful to allow effective regulation of it. The only answer left is to break up the giant banks with antitrust action.
Picking Elizabeth Warren to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a no-brainer. So why isn't the White House rushing to nominate her? In a word: fear.
It is irrefutably clear to us that if we do not make substantial cuts in the projected levels of Pentagon spending, we will do substantial damage to our economy and dramatically reduce our quality of life.
If a Wall Street bank begins to fail, threatening the safety of the financial system, it will be put to death. End of story. Republicans -- the ones who bailed out Wall Street -- just don't want to believe it.
They say that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But the collective amnesia of the Republican Party will not only hurt its members -- it threatens to hurt all of us.
