Barney Frank: I won’t put up with smears from those bigoted Tea Party activists, or something

(By Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) - How desperate has Barney Frank become in his quest to hold onto his seat in a Republican hurricane? So desperate that Frank seems to have trouble seeing his own hypocrisy. Jammie Wearing Fool finds this juxtaposition in the Boston Herald rather amusing:

Bielat has $364,000 in his campaign war chest to Frank’s $1 million, but the embattled congressman said he made the campaign loan to counter an expected flood of “attack ads.”

“I do not intend to be ambushed by the kind of right-wing smears that assailed John Kerry in 2004,” Frank said.
