May You Live in Interesting Times Indeed...

Barney Frank's SO heckled his opponent Sean Bielat at a recent campaign appearance. The Boston Herald, the other, non-NYT-owned newspaper in town, has the scoop:

Sean Bielat camp says heckler was Barney Frank’s partner

A Barney Frank "supporter" caught on a Herald video heckling Republican Sean Bielat is the congressman’s longtime domestic partner Jim Ready, Bielat’s campaign said this morning.

In the video, Ready snaps several pictures of Bielat, calls him "dude" and tells him he needs to "get used to" having his picture taken. The Herald caught the bickering on video Wednesday following a debate at WGBH-TV studios in Brighton.

Watch the video. Listen to Ready. This is the longtime companion of Congressman Frank, and he sounds like half of the duo of Beavis & Butthead. "Dude, you're not funny". Um, are you for real? This is the best you got? While I'm certain that Frank didn't intend for his partner to actually go and heckle his opponent, the damage control attempted afterward is laughable. The Frank campaign initially tried to pass Ready off as an "amateur photographer" rather than owning up to the connection.

Desperation. Barney Frank haz it.

That is all.

To clarify:
This is NOT the S.O. that ran a gay prostitute service out of Frank's D.C. home.
Nor is it the S.O. that made millions at FannieMae while Frank sat on the committee overseeing that organization.

Like Deval and Obama, Barny doesn't associate with upstanding characters with any integrity.

God I hope this asshole is unemployed in November....
