Making the rounds right now is a video of high ranking Rep. Barney Frank being extremely funny and sassy while mocking a reporter from CNS (the question concerns the showering habits of gay men).

In the comedy arms race who gets to claim the congressman for their stockpiles?
Watch below and decide for yourself.
