Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, "Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation." Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party. Frank's spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that his partner, James Ready, asked the ticket office for a regular ticket for himself and a senior ticket for Frank, "but was turned down because Frank didn't have a resident ID."
I guess Frank doesn't have any "sweetheart deals" at Fire Island. That's a surprise. What's wrong with people...don't they know who he is??? He along with Schumer, who also can't abide by the rules of us commoners, should come back to the real world. I sure hope the citizens of these two states wake up and realize who their leaders are...leaders is used very, very loosely.
All that over a dollar that he could have easily afforded.
The ferries are too expensive, but this doesn't give Frank a right to make a scene like that. I wonder what happened in the end, if he gave in or just left. It'd have been funny if the police would have had to escort him out.
I'm sure while the Roman Empire was falling from its own corruption, endless wars, and high inflation, circus clown legislators like this were a dime a dozen.
I guess the only spending Frank is opposed to is his own. Holtsville Harry is right. As long as MA voters keep voting this degenerate in, they deserve what they get.
