From the "I May Barf Bag"...(weak tummy? Don't read this!)
Monday night as Congress was gathering for the president’s State of the Union speech, President Bush strode by openly gay Congressman Barney Frank, as Frank was chatting on his phone. Not realizing that Frank was talking to his boyfriend, Bush leaned in and sent his regards to Frank’s phone friend.

(After this it gets nauseating...or more nauseating...)

1. And Fox News was there!
Fox host highlights 'affectionate' embrace between Bush, openly gay congressman

During a staid, post-State of the Union discussion of the nation's fiscal policy, something caught Brit Hume's eye. The Fox News anchor interrupted commentator Nina Easton to highlight an embrace between President Bush and Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. Frank is also an openly gay Member of Congress.

"Hold on a second, what we just saw there was an interesting moment, a moment of friendship and almost affection between the president and none other than Barney Frank," Hume said as Frank and Bush hugged. "Who I think it's fair to say is one of the most liberal Members of Congress, also one of the smartest guys up there, but, uh..."

Easton cut him off to point out how closely Frank has worked with the administration on fiscal policy.

2. Well, for God's sake, it IS Bush's last year in office!
Golly, you wouldn't have thought that icky Federal Marriage Amendment stuff never happened!

:eyes:

As it was commented on in the link in the original post, I think Barney Frank's relationship has probably gone way beyond the "boyfriend" stage.
