Did Barney Frank Pass Gas Live on MSNBC? You Decide

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.

    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.

    Barney Frank is a bunch of foul smelling gas… I don’t see how he keeps getting reelected.

      Ask the people in Mass. Are all those people that stupid?

      Baaawney Frank is a disgrace to his state and our nation. There must be someone in his district with the courage and convictions of principle to send him home, never to be re-elected again.
