Barney Frank, Man Of The People

This from Instapundit is pretty funny:

"IT’S OKAY, HE’S NOT A REPUBLICAN: Barney Frank Present During Pot Bust. “Congressman Barney Frank was present during a marijuana arrest at James Ready’s home in Ogunquit, Maine. Ready is well-known for his relationship with Congressman Frank.” Now if this were Sarah Palin’s ex-stepcousin-in-law it would be real news . . ."

I’m finding this kinda hard to believe, though:

Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed with what police found. He also tells us that he wouldn’t recognize a marijuana plant if he saw one because he is, “not a great outdoorsman,” and ,”wouldn’t recognize most plants.”

Glenn's right about the "what if" Sarah Palin connection.  I'm seriously thinking about becoming a Democrat.  Seems that you can get away with a lot.
