If that clown ends up in the US Senate...
Noted “conservative” Ben Stein gave $2000.00 to his “good friend” Al Franken.
Religion is thicker than alleged ideology, I guess...
Honestly, it would pain me even more than Obama to see Franken as a US Senator.
Wonder how much of Franken’s money is from out of state? May not indicate his level of support on election day
Where the f is the RNC? Was that story about them spending 160 M in the final two weeks bunk? Are they really just keeping their powder dry until then?
It will definitely be a sign of the apocalypse.
UNREAL! Franken is an idiot!
Who gave him the loot, Soros?
Unfortunately, personal friendship and cronyism means more than integrity these days. Same reason that both McCain and Obama look to their buddies in the Senate as appointees for any number of jobs.

Not the same.
Obama would appoint exactly zero real conservative Republicans in his Administration.

The Minnesotan Dems are lining up to change this guy's diapers.
AHHHH!!! Where’s the brain bleach??

Perhaps, though he is there only to lend “balance”, because the rest of the magazine is 100% solid and dependable conservative commentary and news.
