WASHINGTON, DCThe cries of political grandstanding that have followed him throughout his career do not discourage Rep. 'Fantastic' Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ), the knife-throwing, plate-spinning congressman. 'Don't blink, Koppel,' the blindfolded congressman said on Nightline, tossing knives over his shoulder at balloons held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). 'These are real knives, folks!' Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) denounced the wild and wonderful show, saying that 'the nation should be focusing on the Social Security crisis, not cheap tricksno matter how spine-tingling they may be.' In response to Frist, Pallone said, 'The GOP would attack anything that didn't further the regressive Republican political agenda,' and then placed a spinning plate atop a pole balanced on his chin.
