UPDATE 10/19/10:
The Boston Herald didn't take kindly to us scooping them with their own video, as they only dismissed James Ready heckling Sean Bielat as "Barney Frank's cameraman". They launched a copyright infringement claim against our video despite full credit being given to the Boston Herald and their reporter that shot the footage and missed the story. To see the video please click this following link and scroll down to the bottom of the article where they placed their unsharable video between their advertisements.
While we gave full credit to the Herald for using their video, in recent articles they didn't give us credit for breaking the story they missed. No wonder newspapers are crying for a bailout. It's worth noting too that, while we were conferring with our lawyers on the 1st amendmendment aspect of us sharing their video on their behalf, the Herald cried foul to youtube and had the video taken down. While our concil says we have a very interesting case on our hands, the story is out, Barney and the Herald have their black eyes and we consider this mission accomplished.

October 16, 2010 - Upon exiting the most recent debate with Barney Frank, located at WGBH studios in Boston, MA, Republican Congressional candidate, Sean Bielat, gets heckled by a Barney Frank "supporter" while talking to the media. While watching this video, we realized that we recognized this "supporter". We received confirmation from two eyewitnesses that the mysterious cameraman was none other than Barney Frank's pot-growing boyfriend, James Ready.
This brings an interesting element to the race when such a prominent "supporter" of Frank feels the need to try and pick a fight with the opposition. While Frank continues to promote his theory that, "According to our numbers we are up by more than 20 points no matter what we do.", this type of action smells of desperation and fear. Not to mention, he clearly has no campaign staff to speak of, obviously, because the only person he could muster up to heckle his opponent was the antithesis of anonymous. We've got to give Barney a break, though, this is the first time in 30 years he's had to campaign and he clearly doesn't know how to go about it.
Update 10/19/10: Barney Frank spokesmen Harry Gural dismissed this incident by saying, “He’s an amateur photographer...”
We have strong doubts about his amatueu status as easily recognized the political figures in this election cycle unlike certain Boston Herald writers.
