The Franken Meltdown Begins
American Spectator ^ | July 31, 2009 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 07/31/2009 12:37:14 PM PDT by vadum

As predicted by many, it appears the meltdown of the most emotionally unstable member of the United States Senate is finally underway.

After being a good boy during the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings, the newly fraudulently installed Sen. Al Franken (D-ACORN), couldn't resist letting T. Boone Pickens have it for funding those delightful Swift Boat ads that helped bury John Kerry's presidential prospects.

The Politico reports

According to a source, the wealthy oil and gas magnate and author of "The First Billion is the Hardest" stepped up to introduce himself to Franken in a room just off the Senate Floor after the lunch ended

Franken, who was seated talking to someone else, did not stand when Pickens said hello. Instead, Franken began to berate him about the billionaire's financing of the Swift Boat ads in 2004.

According to a source, the confrontation grew heated.

Said Franken spokeswoman Jess McIntosh: "It was a lively conversation."

This sounds like congressional flakspeak for a vicious verbal brawl.

It's just the beginning. Sen. Smalley just can't help himself.

I don't think Franken will finish his term, it's just a matter of time before he commits some major faux paux or corruption charges even the DNC cannot hide.

Al Franken is a vile and disgusting man.

Should fit in perfectly within the U.S. senate.

Al Franken is a disgusting reprobate and a poor excuse for a human being. He wasn’t funny when he was a coked up writer on SNL in the 1970’s, and he is less funny today. Thanks to the morons in Minnesota, the joke is on all of us. The fact that a drug addled moron like Franken can steal an election and sit in the Senate brings shame on the entire chamber.

Senator Braying Jackass. Minnesota, you have done yourself proud. Unfortunately the rest of us have to live with the consequences of your rank idiocy. I really can’t imagine anyone voting for this guy who isn’t a fellow show-biz type who’s buds with him and lets personal feelings trump actual brainwaves, like Ben Stein did. So don’t tell me his election was illegitimate— his vote count should have been in the double digits and not within fraud-tempting reach of victory.

Or...his behavior can set the new standard for conduct by a politician.

Is this going to a Franken ping list or a Franken poop list?

Caligula made his horse a senator.

America outdid the Roman Empire.

We now have a genuine horse’s ass sitting in our Senate.

Here’s a psychev for ya: Smalley’s brain circuitry is screwy from too many hits of LSD and gallons of booze. He has lost his connect between public persona and self-control.
