Al Franken reprised his role in "Trading Places" and went ape today on the Michael Medved show when he arrived at Michael's table on radio row for a brief appearance to find John O'Neill of SwiftVets fame sitting next to Medved prepared for a "debate" with Franken.
A crowd quickly gathered hoping for another RNC-Habib like outburst and, although disappointed, was treated to Franken tossing a chair and then Franken angrily denying that he tossed a chair ("it fell over when I walked away").
Franken'e eyes literally bulging out of his head. I was 3 feet free Franken and the corner of his mouth was twitching and his hands were curled up in close to a fist.
I spoke with Medved after he went off the air and asked to get the audio from the segment; he put me in touch with his producer at Salem. I have left two voice mails and will continue to effort the audio. What I do have is some photos and those tiny video clips you get from a digital camera. As I am without editing software here, Napoleon at DailyRecycler graciously agreed to my request for help and has edited together the clips into one, web-friendly file. Here is the FrankenRage video with some screen grabs below

One day, I'd like to meet Franken to see if he really is a tough guy. It would be fun for me.

Franken is a boring evil paranoid psychopath.
His "career" has always amazed me, Franken being so talentless. The dude is obviously non-compliant with his prescribed anti-psychotic meds.

How is it that so many of the left-of-center Democrats are so emotionally out of control? They are so obviously suffer from arrested emotional development. It really is amazing.

Franken is a Democrat. You can't call anybody a name any worse than that.

It's been 30+ years since I've seen him in person, but as I recall maybe 5'8" or so. Why?

I listened to the whole exchange, and was jealous of those who were at NPAC watching it. Why does Franken take the bait so easily? The man humiliates himself.
The funniest remark was that he would agree to debate John O'Neill [or other rightwing guest] if he had 24 hours to prepare!!!!
