Did Barney Frank Pass Gas Live on MSNBC? You Decide

Aug. 9, 2011 9:12am Jonathon M. Seidl

Gawker may have put it best: “As you’ll see, his hips most definitely don’t lie.”

During an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show last night, Dem. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) joined to talk about the economy. During that discussion, the almost unmistakeable sound of Frank passing gas could be heard. And the almost unmistakeable sight of him lifting his leg was visible:

Did you catch it?

DailyRushbo slows it down if you didn’t:

So did he or didn’t he? You decide.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Sure sounded like it.Barney did a one-cheek-sneak and it was louder than he wanted for it to be. So, the stumpy little troll cut one on Snatchel’s show. Couldn’t have happened to a better host.

  @ 12Steed- Since the word homophobe connotes a person with an irrational fear of or aversion to homosexuals, can one who simply considers the lifestyle to be an abomination still be called a homophobe?. I think not.
