No class

"Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, 'Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation.'"

We wouldn't expect any other type of behavior from ol' Sylvester.

 

What a perfect example of the mindset of the imperious and haughty overlords who love to burden the peasantry with ever-more increasing taxes and regulations, yet get completely bent out of shape when they are denied their request to break the rules themselves solely in order to save a measly buck, even though their lavish salaries and many perks are covered by the very serfs who have no choice but to follow the thousands of pages of orders from above because they're not, you know, important.

 

Dig deep, Barney.  We know you've got it somewhere.
