I try not to get into politics too often here because, well, who cares. But this video of Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank tearing into a woman who said President Obama is like Hitler due to his health care plan is pretty awesome and funny.

When you consider how funny people should be compared to what they say, it’s like factoring in a degree of difficulty. So given that Barney Frank is a prominent politician unleashing a burn like “Talking to you is like having a conversation with a dining room table” is the equivalent of a regular person making a joke so vicious that it causes the subject to leap off a large tower.

Though perhaps it is unfair to not expect such viciousness from Barney Frank since he is a gay guy. Gay guys are arguably the most underrated funny/vicious group of people around. All that sodomy makes you pretty tough. At least that’s what I learned in Sunday School.
