It may not have gotten the same level of media attention as Hillary's concession or Bill's support speech, but today's luncheon forum for gay, lesbian and transgendered delegates found U.S. Rep. Barney Frank fired up and making some quips that are worth repeating.
Frank, an openly gay Massachusetts Democrat, longtime at the forefront of gay rights issues, denied there is a “radical homosexual agenda” at work in Washington.
He also took a verbal swing at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and other high-and-mighty Christian politicians and their self-righteous slogan, "What Would Jesus Do?"
“If Ted Kennedy, in the face of this terrible illness, can come and make that speech, then will everyone else stop bitching about such trivia? Can we not take from him at least that this is about real issues and our lives?”

“I say to Newt Gingrich, ‘I don’t think he would have gotten married three times. But what do I know? I’m Jewish.”
