He may now be former congressman Barney Frank, but the ex-Massuchusetts representive isn’t any less outspoken now than during his 30-year political career.

Frank joined KIRO Radio’s Tom & Curley Show on Monday while on tour for his book “Frank: A Life in Politics From the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage,” and he shared his thoughts on everything from legalized marijuana, keeping his homosexuality a secret for so long, and why he thinks Bill O’Reilly is “an arrogant bully.”
