BOSTON (Official Wire) — Newly retired Rep. Barney Frank revealed on Friday that he would like to serve as a temporary successor to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the secretary of state nominee.
Frank told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he had asked Gov. Deval Patrick to appoint him to serve as the state’s interim senator until a special election is held to fill Kerry’s seat.
“Coach, put me in,” Frank said Friday, one day after his 32-year career in the House ended.
A spokeswoman for Patrick said the governor had no immediate comment.
Under state law, the Democratic governor will be required to fill the seat with an interim appointment if the Senate confirms Kerry as secretary of state. The special election would then be scheduled between 145 days and 160 days — about five months — after Kerry’s departure.

It is Sad the ONLY way we get rid of these Evil Politicians is when they finally Die because they will not leave.
What a joke, Barnet must be getting tired of his boyfriend lover and wants to spend some time out at the office, what a joke. He has done enough damage with the housing market, he needs to stay out of our government, period.
Pati’s notes: “god”, for bid !!! pl,orl,fla
Oh the Evil One never leaves or gives up. The Evil one was defeated eons ago by the Archangel St. Michael, but today he still works to steal men’s souls, just look at the treachery of the 2012 election and a Prez that hasn’t the Truth in him, that’s why everything is a lie. Americans chose their path just as Israel did so many times in the Old Testament, so God has given us what befits us. Obama is the image of what America has become. Those of us 65 and older are shocked with disgust but those 35 and younger for their majority love Obama. God is allowing them the world they desire. Even the Evangelicals refused to vote rather than vote for anyone other than Obama. They could always find a reason why the other candidate wasn’t good enough so they stood idle and did nothing as Evil continued it’s rule. Voter fraud, for sure. Without the Holy Spirit, men will fall prey to every lie and these men know to tell a lie big enough and long enough until it becomes viewed as the truth, just as Herr Goebbels taught in the 30′s. It is recorded in Eternity who Stood to Vote with Mother Church, now we each get what befits us.
Dang.. can ya feature HIM and HIM in bed making made passionate love???? Perish the thought!
