GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher has invited his gay colleague Barney Frank (and his partner) to a bipartisan surf summit but toots that his colleague from across the aisle will probably spend most of his time tanning his blubber.
Politico reports: 
"Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a staunchly conservative Republican from Southern California, has invited Frank and his partner, Jim Ready, to ply the waves with him later this month. Ready, like Rohrabacher, is a surfing enthusiast. Frank, it seems, is not. 'We have them set up at surfers hotel,' says Rohrabacher, joking that Frank 'will probably have to lie on the beach like a whale while the rest of us are in the water.' Frank's office confirms that the Massachusetts Democrat and his partner have accepted Rohrabacher's invitation, but nobody will say much more than that. 'I don't want to tell you the dates,' Rohrabacher says. 'I don't want people out here gunning for [Frank], politically speaking.' Rohrabacher said he broached the idea with Frank at a function not long ago, after Ready had told him of their shared interest in hanging ten."
