What Planet Are You From?

By The Angry Drunk

Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, bringing the sexy back to the healthcare debate:

See, when confronted with the insane and the stupid, the appropriate response is not reason, it’s derision. The second that the Republican party and their stooges like the crazy bint in the video decide that they want to put on their adult pants [...]
