Barney Frank pitches hissy fit when ferry won’t give him a $1 senior discount

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island’s popular gay haunt, The Pines.

As a member of the House of Representatives, Barney Frank is forced to scrape by on a mere $174,000 annual salary. So it’s no wonder he’s so interested in saving a buck here and there.

The New York Post reports the New York pout:

Barney Frank is very disappointed that he didn't get his senior discount

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island’s popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn’t have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, “Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation.” Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party. Frank’s spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that his partner, James Ready, asked the ticket office for a regular ticket for himself and a senior ticket for Frank, “but was turned down because Frank didn’t have a resident ID.”

We are so damn proud of ourselves. A story involving Barney Frank and a ferry and we didn’t go for the obvious joke.
