Subtle They Ain’t

I’m sure it’s a complete coincidence that they picked a woman to play Barney Frank in this video. There are no male dancers, after all:
H/t to Michael Shaw at Bag News Notes, who dissects the images here. He makes a great point about the whole concept:
Frank might be vulnerable to attack in all kinds of ways, but to frame him as “dancing around the issues” when, as his spokesperson emphasized, Frank is primarily known for his directness, raises flags everywhere.
So this is just an excuse to show a cartoonish ad featuring Barney Frank dancing like a woman. I’m sure the wingnuts will love it. And while they are drying their tears of laughter, they’ll insist that they have nothing against gays so they can’t possibly be homophobes.
