Fairy Fires Up Ferry Over Fare to Fire Fairy Fiesta

Mass. representative and home mortgage guru Barney Frank was so upset over being denied a senior citizen's discount on the ferry fare to Fire Island's gay fantasia that he caused quite a scene.

Mr. Franks' current special friend, James Ready, had requested the special ticket but was denied because Mr. Franks lacked local ID.

The photo has nothing to do with the story, other than showing Mr. Franks after an apparently relaxing visit to the White House with fellow guru and all-around fun guy Senator Chris Dodd.

Class tells, every time.
