Gahhh... Barney Frank has a fanny buddy at FANNIE MAE

The inimitable, eponymous Ace of Spades HQ has the, uh, poop. Yes, Barney Frank, longtime ranking Democrat of the House Banking Committee, has a boyfriend, Herb Moses, assistant director for product initiatives from 1991 to 1998.

Frank takes pains to note how carefully they avoided conflicts of interest.

$700,000,000,000.00 worth.

As Ace so nicely points out:

Why is this just coming out now? At Fox F*cking News, of course.

Why?

Why is it I f*cking know the exact time Sarah Palin had amniotic fluid leakage and I'm just finding this out now?

Ace is referring to the Democratic blog talking point that Sarah Palin supposedly caused Trig's Down's Syndrome by not overnight mailing herself to the nearest hospital when her amniotic fluid leaked. She merely maintained contact with her doctor.

It should be noted that the main freak making these charges, Andrew Sullivan of the Atlantic, is a raging homo. Hey, aren't we all sometimes, but even I understand female anatomy and pregnancy, unlike Sullivan, whose insane rantings on Palin and Trig reveal him to be utterly, sickeningly obsessed.
