BOSTON, Massachusetts - April 13, 2010 - Flying back to Boston from Los Angeles yesterday, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was assailed by a pair of ophthalmologists upset about the health care law. An argument ensued that prompted some passengers to wonder if the plane might be forced to land.
"No one was calming things down and people were standing up shouting," said Brooke Sexton, who was seated seven rows behind Barney.
Accustomed as he is to being conservatives's favorite bad guy, Frank mostly ignored the doctors's taunts, Sexton said, but the congressman's partner, Jim Ready, did not.
The problem started soon after the ophthalmologists - two sisters on their way to a conference in Boston - boarded the Virgin flight. When they discovered that Frank was sitting nearby, the women loudly dissed the landmark health care law as an "Obamanation."
"They wanted to talk to me, but I apologized and said I like to read and watch on planes," Frank said. "They began to talk louder and that's when Jimmy (Ready) said, 'If you're trying to be bitchy, you're doing a good job."
Ed. Note: I do not see why Barney Frank should be granted a moment of peace to read and watch television, whether he is on a flight or otherwise, as long as his thuggery continues to victimize the Amerikan people. If he wants peace and quiet, then he should quit Congress and get a real job!
