Al Franken says he loves to perform for U.S. troops overseas.

"I love and honor our troops," he insists.

Maybe he does while on the USO tours and amid the avalanche of goodwill publicity those tours generate for him when he returns.

But consider this parody, called "Sorry," included on Franken's CD "The O'Franken Factor":

Sorry 'bout the prisoners Sorry they got raped Sorry they got tortured Sorry it got taped ...

Believe me when I say their apology is sincere I'm awfully sorry for that broomstick up their rear ...

That's just one of the revelations of a new release from WND Books by Alan Skorski called "...Pants on Fire: How Al Franken Lies, Smears and Deceives."

Skorski calls the CD track a "disgusting, humorless, shameless, below-the-belt, filthy parody mocking the troops and our military." He says Franken uses U.S. military troops as "props" to gain recognition and advance his career – all the while undermining their efforts with lies, smears and deceit.

"Many celebrities do good things for the right reasons," says Skorski, "but they don't go out of their way to bring attention to themselves the way Franken does."

Skorski, who tracks Franken's every public move, every public thought, every public deed – and some private ones – and chronicles them in "...Pants on Fire," shows how Franken changes his tune depending on the audience to whom he is playing.

That is a bunch of BS spouted by a liar. That sorry POS does not love anyone other than himself.

Ok put a target on his back and put him on the rifle range. The troops should have a great time.

FYI: Al Franken has been invited to be this year's Sol Feinstone lecturer at West Point.... The title of his talk is supposed to be "The Meaning of Freedom."

It may surprise folks that WP is no different from the rest of academia in that; it is infested with Liberals pushing their anti-American, anti-Bush agenda.

You have to remember that Dems attend W.P. too, and many of them were Kerry fans and will welcome the likes of Franken with open arms.

It might only be 10% but the contingent -is- there.

This is how we end up with Troops that would openly "Ask for the President or SecDef's resignation."

Can't begrudge them, but ya gotta make a mental note. W.P. has a dark side.

Yeah, I figured the folks that 'know' would already know.
It's a bigger mess than most folks realize.

I keep waiting for the backlash.
