Barney Frank is off his rocker

It can't be said that Barney Frank doesn't have a way with words.  Now he's lashing out at anyone who claims that the Democrats in Massachusetts and in the US Senate will delay the seating of Republican Scott Brown until after health care bill passes or at minimum could be weeks until the certificate of election is issued by the Governor and Council. 

Here is what Frank had to say this afternoon in an article from the Washington Times:

"That is the stupidest thing I've been asked in a long time. That is insane, the suggestion could only come from a demented right wing source," erupted Representative Barney Frank (D - MA), when asked by The Washington Times about what he thought regarding assertions that Massachusetts Democrats would stall the certification process should Mr. Brown win. "There isn't the slightest possibility of it happening---a way of doing it. That is conspiracy theory at its most contemptible."

Here is the AUDIO of the exchange as well, which of course makes any Barney Frank that much more interesting.

Here's the only problem, which the Washington Times post notes, it was confirmed by the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office that it may take some to certify the election

The Boston Herald reported that, according to a source, Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin's office wants to certify the race on Feb. 20. A spokesman for Mr. Galvin's office explained that local election districts have to wait at least 10 days before they submit their returns, so military and overseas ballots can be tallied as well. 15 days is the maximum amount of time to submit the returns to the secretary's office, before they go to governor's office. 

Only Barney Frank could have such a way with words and call the Secretary of the Commonwealth a "demented right wing" source.
