Apparently, Barney Frank was on a plane when two female doctors
realized who he was and began haranguing him over Obamacare. There
was apparently no intervention by flight crew so I assume it never got
too nasty.
However, this raises a question of "Does a congresscritter have the
right to being left alone on a flight"?
My answer is it depends on who is paying the bill for the flight. If
ti is the taxpayer, then he is on the public's time and he has to sit
and take it. If he pays for it out of his own money, different story.
Now, I'd prefer to debate this rationally so let us simply pretend it
is congressman X of unknown party. Assume he pays using public
money. Do passengers have the right to discuss and tell him their
views even if he does not want to hear them at that time?

Man, I'd love to sit next to Congressman Frank on a long flight. He is
by almost all accounts, the smartest guy in the House. But he hasn't
been active in health care reform.

As to your question, manners count. If the doctors and Frank were
having
an intelligent discussion, sure. If the doctors were behaving like
teabaggers, no.

HK: Is it your position that a public employee does not have to
listen to public complaints while on public time? Please clarify.

Depends. Your boy Bush didn't listen, did he? :?)

Nom-de-fraud, female impersonator has nothing of significance to say.
Obviously, lefties are simply incapable of a simple discussion.

Yeah, I'm also not an attorney, and you forgot to mention that I weigh a
spritely 500 lbs. Are you claiming that Frank didn't listen to the doctors?
If so, please cite.
