Rep. Barney Frank Discuss Larry Craig with Andy Cohen

It wasn’t a “booty call” like when Anderson Cooper called in last week, but Rep. Barney Frank was a guest on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night.

And while he talked about Sen. Ted Kennedy‘s passing, the majority of the time was spent dishing on The Real Housewives and similarly lighter fare.

The show’s host Andy Cohen introduced Frank, saying he “loved his wit in the face of a lady protester” earlier this week. They played a game called “House or The Housewives,” where Cohen read a statement and Frank had to decide whether it related to The Real Housewives or someone in Congress.

Inevitably, the conversation drifted to whether toe-tapping Larry Craig would “burst out of the closet anytime soon.” “No he insists that he’s not gay,” said Frank.

We’re not sure why Frank decided to go on this MidnightET entertainment show – maybe he’s just a big NeNe Leakes fan – but it definitely shows the Congressman in a new light.
