I saw Barney Frank speak at Benaroya last night, and was quite impressed by the homo House member from Massachusetts. Two things of note:

1) Frank endorsed outing closeted Republicans who vote against gay rights, which a certain someone may be interested to know. And the Congressman cited none other than John Locke as the intellectual underpinning for this stance. If I can dig up the actual Locke quote he cited, I’ll post it later today.

2) Frank is very funny. His best line described the overdone horror that right-wingers expressed when it turned out America really liked Clinton, in all his philandering, homo-tolerating glory. The right-wingers acted, Frank said, as if they’d gone to bed in a Norman Rockwell painting and then woken up in a Hieronymus Bosch.
