Rep. Barney Frank admitted Friday that he was sitting on the porch of his partner’s Maine home when police came to arrest his partner for marijuana possession.

Frank, responding to new reports that he was present during the Aug. 2007 arrest of James Ready, said in a statement he was unaware Ready had marijuana plants.

According to a police report obtained by MyFoxBoston, Maine police arrested and charged James Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia. He pleaded guilty to civil possession and paid a fine. The remaining charges were dismissed last year.

Would you be more comfortable with the defense favored by the right, "Well, I don't remember" ?

He sure knows how to pick 'em. I suppose it's not as bad as his dalliance with prostitution.

BULLETIN: It isn't a crime for a guest to sit on the porch of his host, and it wasn't in 2007 either. There has never been any attempt by anyone to conceal any of the facts in this matter. Rep. Frank accompanied Mr. Ready to court, where the latter pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for growing a small amount of marijuana for personal use. He paid a fine, and the case was closed.

Yeah, and we really have a "nice" bunch of people on CD too...some liars, a number of deceivers, and those who in their desperation will misrepresent and try to blow anything at all completely out of proportion.
What is underneath your name says enough!
