The first openly gay congressman, Frank is unafraid to take on difficult issues such as gay rights or the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. He pulls no punches in his cutting remarks about the many personalities and colleagues he cites and is a favorite guest on the talk show circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdited and compiled by Peter Bollen, \u003ci\u003eFrank Talk\u003c\/i\u003e is an informal collection of quotations from this witty and brilliant congressman who is constantly quoted by news reporters, columnists, and pundits.
