Rich Little cracks gay joke about Barney Frank for NV Republicans?
Reaction from those watching the aging 1970s comedian Rich Little performing in Nevada for a 2010 State GOP Convention:
Between Angle and Steele, impressionist Rich Little entertained the crowd with an act that included a George Burns impersonation, lots of Harry Reid jokes and a gag with a punch line that referred to Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who is gay, as a “queen”. (Las Vegas Review Journal)
2nd Rich Little joke: He performed for a queen. Barney Frank. Recently naturalized Little says he can vote GOP. He’s got prejudice down.
