During his years in Congress, Barney Frank (D-MA) has built a
reputation as a respected leader on many fronts: as an expert
debater, a master parliamentarian, and a point man for his party on
legislation. The first openly gay congressman, Frank is unafraid to
take on difficult issues such as gay rights or the legalization of
marijuana for medical purposes. He pulls no punches in his cutting
remarks about the many personalities and colleagues he cites and is
a favorite guest on the talk show circuit.
Edited and compiled by Peter Bollen, "Frank Talk" is an informal
collection of quotations from this witty and brilliant congressman
who is constantly quoted by news reporters, columnists, and
pundits. After a quarter century as an elected official, Frank's
humor and acerbic remarks have been collected in this volume, which
includes congressional testimony, selections from his humorous
fund-raising letters, and off the cuff comments as reported in the
media.
