Ah now we see why he was willing to talk about this with so much candor- he is bowing out of the congress.

On Monday, November 14, Barney Frank annouced he is opening OCCUPYMYBUTT at his D.C. office.
His Chief of Staff later said the OCCUPYMYBUTT initiative would also function from his home. Marijuana and prostitutes are currently available at Frank's home, but administered by Frank's longtime wife - Bill. No invitattion is needed Frank's Chief of Staff stated - "Just Come on by!".
Comments and feedback are encouraged in order to grow OCCUPYMYBUTT.

I currently have a problem with Mr. Frank and do not believe he has credibility anymore based on his actions, socialist leangings, voting record, and the Dodds Frank Banking bill, which was so heavily influenced by lobbyists it won't solve the problem, only creates more. Further, I am quite certain if he and his party had the chance they'd completely gut the military. In this video he is creating non-arguments and lancing them like windmills. the CFR ought to get better folks to speak.

I really like Mr. Frank's no BS style; or at least minimum BS style- he is still a political figure.
