Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) delivers his opening statement at the confirmation hearing of Judge Sonia Sotomayor. He was interrupted once by a protester.

Franken told Sotomayor that she was "the most experienced Supreme Court nominee in 100 years." He said her story is inspirational and one in which "all Americans should take great pride in."

“most experienced Supreme Court nominee in one hundred years.......”

Frankenstein is an idiot and a liar. That title really have been given to Robert Bork.

Franken told Sotomayor that she was “the most experienced Supreme Court nominee in 100 years.”
::::
The libs just keep lying, spinning and piling on the bull excrement. What a crock. Franken could not even get listeners on Air America. The morons that put this degenerate in office should be FINED to pay the destruction he will contribute to.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

No tuba band ?

[nhwingut]

The Judiciary Committee must be so proud...

[AppyPappy]

Kind of ironic that Franken starts his tenure as a Senator with an “on your knees” Monica moment with the DNC.

[Da Coyote]

Mygawd, how far have we sunk?

Anyone having a smidgen of respect for the senate is indeed a fool.

[gorilla_warrior]

Most experienced at denying equal rights to european-americans? Or in expressing blatantly racist views?

[trumandogz]

The funniest part was Franken the leftist protesters yelled and had to be tossed by the security guards.

[kellynla]

This comedian has been in the U.S. Senate two weeks and he rates being on the committee?

I don’t know about the rest of the clowns in the ‘Rat party but if it were me;
I would be ROYALLY PI$$ED OFF!

[kellynla]

BTW, for the record, if I'm not mistaken, there are 12 ‘Rats & 7 Republicans on this committee.

[DManA]

Were’s the barf alert? Protocol must be observed.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

Franken acknowledged Sen.Leahy and Leahy gave him the “drop dead” look, you shoulda’ seen it.

[C210N]

Franken told Sotomayor that she was "the most experienced Supreme Court nominee in 100 years."

Hardly. BUT, if Franken called SotoMayer an experienced court nominee as much as he was a marxist clown jerk, THEN, that would be saying something.

The funniest part was when the leftist protesters yelled and had to be tossed by the security guards.

[Superiorryan]

Is he now Dem celeb??

[Biggirl]

Welcome to D.C. Sen.Clown!

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

America’s version of Caligula’s horse speaks... and says nothing.

[Chet 99]

The Rat leadership deliberately packs Judiciary with hard core leftists so there’s no risk of losing a committee vote.

[pepsionice]

I think he was being sarcastic....it even sounds sarcastic when you roll off something like that.

Heck, I would have bested him and said she was the best candidate in a thousand years.
