Coming from one of the least civil members of Congress.

Via The Hill:

Retiring Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), known for his sharp tongue and scathing whit, made a fundraising appeal Thursday for Democratic control of Congress.

“Winning a Democratic majority in the House, along with maintaining a Democratic Senate and re-electing President Obama, are absolutely essential to continuing the significant advances that we began in 2009 and which were later blocked by the arrival of the Tea Party,” Frank said in a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraising email.

“Ousting the Tea Party and wresting control of the House away from the Republican Party is the single most important step we can take to restore civility – and sanity – to the American political system,” Frank said.
