Three cheers for Rep. Barney Frank
Fruitloop at town hall meeting: " Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy, as Obama has expressly supported this policy, why are you supporting it?"
Congressman Barney Frank (D, Mass): "When you ask me that question, I am gonna revert to my ethnic heritage, and answer your question with a question. On what planet do you spend most of your time?...You want me to answer the question? As you stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler, and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis, my answer to you is as I said before, it is a tribute to the 1st Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated. Ma’am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table - I have no interest in doing it. "

Thanks. That clip has warmed the cockles of my heart and will probably put a smile on my face all day.
Now here's a fun game ... which item of furniture would readers associate with which Hackney Cabinet member?

He is a brave man - the first openly gay senior politician in the US and not afraid to speak out for what he believes in
