He’s so witty.
Via Briefing Room:
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) took a trip down the yellow brick road Sunday, equating the GOP presidential field to the characters of “The Wizard of Oz.”
Frank offered multiple broadsides to several Republican candidates, but said the 1939 film best captured many of the front-runners.
“Mitt Romney is the tin woodman without the heart, and Rick Perry is the scarecrow,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Perry, who suffered a high profile gaffe in a debate when he forgot the third federal agency he would eliminate as president, was likened by Frank to the character missing a brain.
“Newt’s the Wizard of Oz,” he added, referring to the fearsome character whose prominent appearance was defused after being revealed as a single man behind a curtain. “There’s nothing there.”
