Frank Talk About the French - Good for Barney Frank. In this New York Times story (registration may be required) the congressman gives us his view of this whole "Freedom Fries" ridiculousness.

"Making Congress look even sillier than it sometimes looks would not be high on my priority list," said Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts.

"There's a potential war going on. There's a lot of debate about is Congress being actively involved in foreign policy. It's bad enough not to be able to do anything, but I think self-caricature is a poor substitute for thoughtful discussion."

Right on, Mr. Frank. (For those who'd rather not register, Annanova is also covering the story.)
