Barney Frank Slaps Code Pinkos

There should be a standing rule in Congress that anyone showing up for hearings wearing pink doesn't get to sit in the audience. Every day Code Pinko sends largely middle-aged women with nothing better to do to wave signs and generally act the fool while people they don't like testify.

In a move which portends a cold spell in hell Rep. Barney Frank chastised the Code Pinkos...twice... for daring to interrupt his hearing. Here's what he said (from Hot Air):

Would you please act your age back there? Stop playing with that sign. If you have no greater powers of concentration, leave the room. We’re trying to have a serious discussion, which will include, you understand, a lot of criticism. We really need people to grow up. …

You, who stood up, who has the sign up … The next one that holds a sign up — it is distracting to people. I understand that there are some people for whom rational discussion is not an appropriate means of expressing themselves. You are entitled to do that in general, but not in a way that interrupts those of us who are trying to have rational discussions. So the next one who holds a sign will be ejected. Uh, I do not know how you think you advance any cause to which you might be attached by this kind of silliness.

I'm not sure if Frank was serious or if he might have had a small stroke.
