Yes, in case you’re wondering… that is a David Bowie reference. It’s Friday, we can reference a rock legend. Why did we mention it, you say? Question is: Could Bowie’s “Hey man, droogie don’t crash here. There’s only room for one and here she comes, here she comes” apply to Elizabeth Warren? A story from the Washington Post thinks so.

Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said some of the resistance to Warren, a Harvard law professor, is because of a feeling that a woman should not tell bankers what to do.

“Some people almost unconsciously think that for a woman to be in an important position regarding the titans of the financial industry is not appropriate,” Frank said at a news conference. He said while that attitude hasn’t affected the substance of the debate over Warren, “The tone has been exacerbated.”
