Franken’s sharp tongue emerges in Senate...

The good news is, that since his head is up his arse, he only cuts himself.

[DoughtyOne]

His election to the U.S. Senate alone, devalued the stature of the institution immeasurably. Wow, what an ass hat state.

Boxer will give him a run for the money, but she wasn’t as well known (at least by me) before being elected to the Senate.

He was a known quantity, a blithering idiot of the first order, prior to being elected. It’s shocking someone that dumb could be elected to the Senate.

Well, in light of what is taking place right now, it really isn’t.

[EyeGuy]

“But he has also pummeled Republican senators and their aides, showing a glimpse of the pugilistic style...”

I would love to trade “pugilistic styles” the REAL, physical kind, with a arrogant little punk like “conservative” Ben Stein’s pal, Al Franken.

Absolutely love to....

[AppyPappy]

He’s a clown that proves the Democratic Party can’t be taken seriously.

A two bit punk.

Two bits still has some redeemable value. That's not an apt description of Franken.

Coming soon to a Senate near you

Franken said, raising his voice. “Benefits kick in right away

So what Obamacare benefits kick in right away? The media certainly has not been talking about that. Didn't the media read the bill, so that they could understand it and explain it to us?

[rockrr]

franken just being franken (a putz).

Any pubbie who teams up with him is an imbecile.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Another Wellstone.

the Gop should NOT be having meetings with Freak nor should they sit mildly by and let his fat ass control the conversation let alone get two words in....

FOR GOD'S SAKE WOULD YOU PUBS GROW SOME COURAGE!

[skeeter]

By all appearances, he has worked to keep partisan outbursts to a minimum, knowing that what may draw listeners to Air America does not play well in the buttoned-down Senate.

Lol. It didn't play well on Air America either, apparently.

[Snickering Hound]

Franken’s sharp-elbowed exchanges have come in moments of passion.

A swift punch in the mouth would end that, but that would offend the "decorum" of the senate that so concerns the rinos...

After the conversation began ordinarily, Franken started to grill the aide about what he sees as the failings of the GOP. Franken demanded to know why it had become the "Party of No" and had exaggerated facts in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, according to another GOP leadership aide.

A spokeswoman for Franken declined to comment on either exchange.

I see Lord Suckadouche belongs to the Party of "no comment".

[ReneeLynn]

This man is a glowing example of how far we’ve fallen. Those Republicans should just carry around the photo of him in a diaper and when he expresses his ‘wit’ just pull it out and say, “That tells me all I need to know about you.”

This article is a bit sickening.

^{Franken said, raising his voice. “Benefits kick in right away"}

So what Obamacare benefits kick in right away?

The taxes part.
Benefiting the 'rats.
Not you or I.

[a fool in paradise]

Something about kids being protected against being denied insurance coverage by providers. That’s about it.

The exagerations that the Democrats are making in the run-up to the war on America’s medical establishment are obscene.

“Al Franken, the Democrat from Minnesota who won election to the Senate”

You mean stole the election. His Republican opponent won by 800 votes on election day. Then they did a recount and the Republican was still ahead by 200 votes. Franken was able to take the lead when 1 precint magically was able to find 350 votes (all for Franken) and the election board counted this twice. Coleman was not able to overturn this huge farce. The rat secratary of state certified the election to Franken.
