Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii). As Djou (pictured here) was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker's Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to "do your job" and review Djou's papers.
It was a small bit of payback for the enormous amount of attention some conservatives (and the media) paid to the is-the-president-really-from-America controversy. But, unlike the commander-in-chief, as Frank knows, being born outside the U.S. does not preclude you from becoming a member of Congress.
Let's see tongue planted firmly in cheek, Hmmm, with Barney that has a number of connotations.
Barney, baby, unlike the President you do not have to be born in America to be a Member of Congress,
Is this a case of I'll show you mine if you show me yours?
Is Barney jealous of Congressman DJou's looks?
