Rep.
Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is using his old weight joke in a new fundraising plea for Massachusetts Attorney General
Martha Coakley's Senate campaign.
The e-mail states, "I
fervently wish that we had not seen the de facto amendment to the U.S.
Constitution that requires sixty votes to pass any legislation in the
Senate. But I also wish that I could eat more and not gain weight."
He adds, "I've
learned not to act on my wishes when there is no short-term chance of their
being accomplished."
