If I’m lucky enough to make it into my senior years I expect to be awarded every single discount, write off, advantage, or whatever else that being a senior citizen affords. Whether it be twenty five cents off a cup of coffee or a $1 discount for ferry rides. Seniors deserve it. So who can criticize Barney Frank’s $1 ferry meltdown?
It seems that Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank was on his way to one of his favorite spots, “The Pines”, a popular homosexual hangout on Fire Island. Frank and his partner went to purchase tickets for the ferry ride to the island when the inexplicable happened; Barney Frank was denied his senior discount of $1.
Those who were working the ticket booth had a good reason for denying Mr. Frank a discounted ticket. The rules state that you have to have a valid Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. Barney lives in Massachusetts so naturally he wouldn’t have a Suffolk County, New York ID in his possession. We are a society of rules, are we not?
Barney became so incensed by being denied his $1 ferry discount that what followed was a full fledged Barney Frank $1 ferry meltdown. What’s the big deal about $1 dollar you ask? Well last year Mr. Frank was spotted at “The Pines” with a few topless, rather well built young men at the annual “Ascension Beach” party. Maybe he needed the extra $1 for the G-strings. I’m just saying.
And please, no jokes about Barney Frank and Ferries; $1 jokes are completely within bounds however.

So who can criticize Barney Frank’s $1 ferry meltdown? you asked, I’ll answer. ME. This kind of BS makes seniors look bad…He, of all people doesn’t need a damn discount…it’s those that are on very limited, fixed incomes that not only need them, they deserve them.
He should take some of his wealth and donate it to a senior citizens center.Shame on him. Shame, shame, shame!

He wants a buck off – but also supports raising the taxes on the fuel the ferry uses to the point where the fare will double or triple.

“And please, no jokes about Barney Frank and Ferries; $1 jokes are completely within bounds however.”
Even inflatable fairies ?
Yeah Barney, things are going great, the economies just fine. Yet you’re pi$$ing yourself over a buck.

Here’s a new segment I’m doing called “What really happened and how the Rethugs report it”
What really happened -
Teller: “I’m sorry Mr. Frank but you don’t have a valid ID for the discount.”
Frank: “Well, thats BS since I am a senior. Oh well, here you go.”
How the wingnut propaganda-machine reports this
Teller: “I’m sorry Mr. Frank but you don’t have a valid ID for the discount.”
Frank: “What…WHAT? WHAAAAAT? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES BOY AND SQUEAL LIKE A PIG! SQUEAAAAAL!!!!! YOU NEVER-EVER-EVER TELL ME I’M NOT ELIGIBLE OR NEXT TIME IT WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE! NOW SQUEAL BOY!”
And all the rethugs enjoyed their nice, cool, refreshing kool-aid.

“And all the rethugs enjoyed their nice, cool, refreshing kool-aid.”
yeah, they buy it at 99 cent stores, with ebt cards

OK !
Ball Gag Bawney would be pleased as punch if he were charged a $3. Bill for the Faery to to the Cape Codpiece Anual Wrump Wrangle.

Oh sorry, read too fast. Thought you said “retards” and was talking bout liberals.
Koolaide never really applied to us on the right, as funny as you think it might be, because were not of the socialist communal nature Jones town was.
July 27th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Thought you said “retards” and was talking bout liberals.
Nope, I said “Rethugs” and was talking about retards.
Oh you love your kool-aid. I hear your latest flavor ‘Shirley’s a Racist’ is popular. Not nearly as popular as ‘Obama’s a Kenyan’ or your own ‘We Believe in Equal Rights’ flavors.
July 27th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
MMMMMMM !!
I’ll have a glass of that ‘We will drain the Swamp’, please. All Out?
Then let me try the ‘Most Transparent Ever’ No?
OK ! I’ll settle for some ‘No More Earmarks’.
MMM ! MMM ! MMM !

“Oh you love your kool-aid. I hear your latest flavor ‘Shirley’s a Racist’ is popular. Not nearly as popular as ‘Obama’s a Kenyan’ or your own ‘We Believe in Equal Rights’ flavors.’
Unfortunately you’re being an a$$hole because you know theres fringes on both ends. Barney b*tching about a fcking dollar should never ever come up amongst any of those occupying seats unless the storys totally fabricated. In this case, its not.
Do you really think Frank gives a fck if SS eligibility getting pushed back is going to effect him ? Nope.
Bottom line is.
You guys are on the retarded end of everything from polls to looking like out right idiots who “acted stupidly” because of some blogger.
Maybe Obama should of factchecked Shirley before he sht canned her and made a complete a$$ out himself creating a “teachable moment” for himself only. Only problem is he knows damn well factcheck would of probably spinned it even worse.
I’m not sure about Sherrod, I really dont give a sht at this point cuz it does little to explain yet why still the NBPs arent in the hole and the why NAACP havent tried to put a better light on any of this yet.
Answer is, they cant.
Because those fckers in the audience were laughing at her racist comments not knowing they were intended as a prelude to her enlightment…which for all we know after her CNN appearance and her hubbys communist loving video, now could be bullsht.
This is what happens everytime retards take a dive, they resurface crying racism, discrimination and then the rest of the borg all repeat in unison.
I guess for you, resistance was futile.
We didnt start this sht, we didnt put Black Panthers with night sticks in front of voting polls, we didnt fire someone for the sake of racially correct ambience.
Still
You can use the koolaide analogy all you want. It makes as much sense as accusing the right of hitting their bongs.
Libs wear the koolaide label because their ideology reflects that of the Jonestown communal collective mindset.

Wow! Funny stuff. Hey, he helped cause a trillion $ implosion with Fannie and Freddie. The least we could do is give him him buck discount.
July 27th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
And to think that the machinations of this one man brought down the entire global economy. Hard to believe. But I know it must be true! I read it right here, on rightpundits.com.
Oh. I forgot. Chris Dodd.
And to think that the machinations of these two men brought down the entire….
Blah blah blah blah blah.

And you guys don’t have an occsional meltdown at a change in rules, unfairness, new charge, rude waiter, crazy neighbor, bizarre driver? Mr. Frank has been the point worker on much legislation the past two sessions working his tail off. You can see how exhausted he is in interviews that hes had to work extra hard to the point of being frazzled. Even Cobert made fun of him during his faux interview when he might have gotten some news instead. I remember a hotel parking lot attendent insisted I pay a $1 after I had found I was in the wrong place and just wanted to turn around. I insisted to speak to the General Manager and he came out and told her to let me go. All over a dollar. She was mean too.
July 27th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Seriously Brian? That’s what you’re going with? Barney was tired and stressed out over all the work he’s been doing in Congress?
Please Barney. Do us all a favor and stop “working” so hard.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
I bet Mr. Frank works harder than most people his age by a long shot. Plus he has to deal with a lot of “difficulty” personalities. Plus he has to commute between the DC beltway, and within the beltway, and in Mass. It takes its toll.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
oh, I forgot, you guyz are a bunch of neocons so of course you will attack him over any ole thing that drops your way. What was I thinkin?
July 28th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Brian.
The a$$hole has no business b*tching about a buck when hes cost us trillions !
Even if you dont agree with me on an ideological basis you have agree on a bi-partisan basis that no overpaid schmuck on the hill should ever ever be whining over a fcking dollar !
Its petty, its insulting, and in extremely poor taste.
When I’m stressed out and something costs one extra dollar you know what I do ? I pay the fcking extra dollar because its less stressful than arguing over it !!!!
July 28th, 2010 at 10:15 am
This incident wasn’t about the dollar. It was about who he is. In Barney’s world he should have been ushered to the front of the line and allowed to ride for free.
July 28th, 2010 at 10:32 am
“oh, I forgot, you guyz are a bunch of neocons so of course you will attack him over any ole thing that drops your way. What was I thinkin?”
“any ole thing”?
Its the principle dufus. It has nothing to do with either side of the aisle really. But I’ll bet you’ve got your head so far up Obamas a$$ that if it were McCain pitching the same b*tch you’d be all over it !
No wonder all his legislation is all so fcked up ! The guys ruins his and everyones day over a damn dollar so why should we expect any more competency when hes at work ?
Which I would thing is a hell of a lot more stressful than riding some ferry !

That “Banking Queen” video is incredibly homophobic and offensive. It also demonstrates how utterly small minded and biggoted many “Right Wingers” are. I’m no fan of Barney Frank, but I am gay. And I consider myself conservative. But I feel increasingly alienated by fellow conservatives who obviously would very much like to live in an era where good, hard working, decent and TAX PAYING GAY AMERICANS are mocked and marginalized and denied the same rights that others have. Welcome to the new century you ignorant small minded drones. My new movement will focus not on marriage, but DIVORCE. Thats right, lets outlaw divorce. If you feel the institution of marriage is so sacrosanct then there should be no need for it you hypocritical meat heads.
July 30th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Not that it would make a difference to you Keith, but most conservatives don’t like Barney Frank because he’s Barney Frank.
It has nothing to do with his sexual orientation.
The parody is making fun of Barney’s role in the housing and banking crisis. It isn’t making fun of his sexual orientation either.
