BARNEY FRANK LOSES IT:

After 30 years, Barney Frank finally lost my vote.

On election night, he lost my respect as well.

Frank?s road rage acceptance speech was an out-of-body experience. Here was the congressional king of anger, vituperation and vitriol lashing out at the Herald and Fox 25 for, in his words, ?anger, vituperation . . . and vitriol.?

What, does he not own a mirror? Is he incapable of introspection? Has he never seen YouTube?s collection of his best TV hissy fits?

Barney seemed to have forgotten: He won. Big. And he was lucky he did.

The contrast between a nasty, bitter Frank and his grateful, graceful opponent, Sean Bielat, could not have been more stark.

With these people, the sense of outraged entitlement is always present, and never pretty.
