One of Sam's Muppet Counterparts on the Stump

Barney Frank was at the JFK Jr school not fielding questions. A student inquired about Big Barn's involvement in the economic crisis, and Frank responds by talking about stuff he's done lately, like improving on his Robert Byrd mumbling impression.

This is one of the most awkward back and forth battles. Frank deflects any question the kid asks, and the kid, obviously frazzled, can't figure out quite what to ask this mumbling dope.

This would be like a tennis match with a golf ball. They both try to shoot back and forth, ducking the golf ball flying back at them. More importantly, why the fuck are they using a golf ball?

In the end Frank assures everyone that it is not his fault that all of this happened, but the fault of the right wing media (video courtesy of FoxNews). He then tried to blow the kid, because that's what he does.
