Frank takes dig at colleague in health care debate
AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Barney Frank took a dig Friday at the Republican lawmaker who organized a protest by conservatives against health care legislation.
Frank, a Massachusetts liberal, told an audience: ‘‘Some of the people (at the rally) that wanted to engage me in conversation appeared to have been the losers in the ’Are you smarter than Michele Bachmann contest?’’’
Rep. Bachmann, R-Minn., had organized Thursday’s rally attended by thousands of conservatives critical of the Democrats’ health care plan. Her spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment. Frank, who recently compared arguing with an angry voter to conversing with a dining room table, said this week’s protest was like being trapped inside a furniture warehouse.
