AL Franken found out the hard way not to mess with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who chided Franken as if he were a delinquent schoolboy at Time Warner Center on Monday night…
When Pearlstine opened the floor for Q&A, Franken stood up in the back row and started talking about "judicial demeanor" and asking "hypothetically" about whether a judge should recuse himself if he had gone duck-hunting or flown in a private jet with a party in a case before his court.
Franken was clumsily referring to the fact that Scalia had gone hunting and flying with Dick Cheney before the 2000 election.
First, Scalia lectured Franken, "Demeanor is the wrong word. You mean ethics." Then he explained, "Ethics is governed by tradition. It has never been the case where you recuse because of friendship."
Time Warner chairman Dick Parsons later told PAGE SIX: "Al was not quite ready for prime time." Franken was a "Not Ready for Prime Time Player" on "Saturday Night Live" long before he began hosting a radio show on Air America.

Not a very even Battle-of-Wits.
He sucked then, he sucks now.
LOL......great posting.
Note to Franken: Never bring spitballs to a gunfight.
Al Franken would have a better chance of Kicking Warren Sapp's behind then of winning a debate with Scalia.
Oooooooooooooooooh I hope this is coming to C-span!!
Yeah...but if Franken took a gun to a gun fight he would end up shooting himself.... not that many would be opposed to that... but I digress...Guns in the wrong hands are a dangerous thing... :)
Teresa: Bag Hag
November 23, 2005
THE salesgirls at Hermes found out what a pain Teresa Heinz Kerry can be. According to our spy, "Teresa had the bag department cornered. She was mak ing the poor girls bring her every bag. Every time another customer wanted to see a bag, she had to see it first. They were harried by her demands." When our operative asked to see a bag, one salesgirl told her, "Please. Go to the second floor."

Al Franken is a Douche bag.
Note to AL Franken, don't bring a blow-dryer to a shoot out! Franken ended up like the bad guys with holes in their heads in the old Dick Tracy comics.
