Who knew Barney Frank could be this much fun?

"I'm sorry. Can I finish the sentence? … On what planet do you spend most of your time? … You're not going to see the collapse that you see when people talk about a bubble." No need to make this stuff up. Filmmaker extraordinaire Ladd Ehrlinger — auteur of the viral internet masterpiece "Young Mattie Fein" — uses Barney Frank's own bluster for script and voiceover in Sean Bielat's fun and funny new internet ad, The Barney Shuffle, launched via Twitter a couple of hours ago. Unlike Barney, "I don't need to dance around the issues," says Sean. "I'm running for Congress, and I approve this ad." We laughed out loud and found ourselves all smiles. If you approve, click here to contribute to Sean's campaign for the win.

Who knew Barney Frank could be this much fun? Thanks to the Tea Party tsunami that's got incumbents of both parties nationwide looking over their shoulders, together with the throw-the-bums-out momentum of our own Brown Revolution, the power-besotted fuddy-duddy of Massachusetts District 4 is running scared.

There's nothing like seeing your name in print. There we were on the front page of the online Boston Herald this morning, quoted in the lead story, "Tea Party revels in Barney Frank's money woes." Repeat after Glenn Reynolds: "Don't get cocky, don't get cocky, don't get cocky …"

The latest poll, just out this evening from WPRI, shows the incumbent with a 12-point lead, 49 to 37, with 12 percent undecided. Nervewracking, but as someone out there said today, even if we don't manage to dislodge the current occupant from the "People's Seat" of District 4, a message has been sent, and for the first time in decades, Barney Frank is listening.

Update: Forgot to mention that Sarah Palin includes our man Sean in her "More Great Candidates to Support this November" list on Facebook today:

Sean is a businessman, Marine veteran, and young father, and he is running against an ethically-challenged liberal icon who opposed reform of Fannie & Freddie before the meltdown.

Update II: Michelle Malkin Buzzworthy link!

Update III: Instalanche! That should be good for viral-video sales.

Sean is following a key rule for Radical
Conservatives: use humor and ridicule to highlight and define the stupidity of liberalism. This is especially effective since liberals have no sense of humor, and are stuffed shirts ready to be deflated.

Hit 'em hard, Sean, in the next week and a half. Hit 'em hard and keep swinging!

Laugh your way into office Sean! And once you get there, hold John Boehner's feet to the fire at every opportunity! I'm originally from Ohio and the thought of him as Speaker doesn't thrill me at all.

While this video is hillarious, it is also a sad commentary on the soon-to-be-ending career of Barney Frank. The only message he will understand is the one that send him packing on November 2nd. Re-elect him and it will be business as usual.

Sean Bielat, www.byebyebarney.org, who by-the-way is not a "Radical Conservative", has brilliantly captured the embarrasment that Barney has become. Barney has no credibility anymore, so why keep him in office?

I proudly support Sean Bielat, and so should you, www.byebyebarney.org.

I'm thinking Barney Rubble can Bida Bang Bang Boom into a new "job"

I just love that "power-besotted" because it speaks so well to ALL the politicians. We've had an interesting election season with attempted voter fraud by the tens of thousands in Houston and Arizona assisted by SEIU, Congressman saying the don't worry about the Constitution, and continuous attacks on Tea Party people attempting to paint them as racists. When evil gets turned around, what can we expect on November 3 if they really get hammered. Lollipops and bunnies? Or France.

The big union guns and DCCC are on top of this race and others now, like bears on honey. Come in, send out the cubs to do your bidding, and pump enormous amounts of $$$ into advertising. Sean Bielat is a political newcomer - just that fact might have convinced me to support him! Barney lumbering around the DC Beltway for 30 years - geesh, give it up (honey). www.byebyebarney.org
