Sounds like all threads should include this photo of Mr. Selected-Not-Elected.

PS, type in Al Franken (no quotes) into images.google.com and the search engine will suggest adding the word diaper as the #1 option.

However, Freakin seems to be the kind of unstable moron who could be easily baited into doing something violent. Get it on vid, YouTube, etc...

I’m not going to argue the point, because it’s pointless. Well, the point about stealing the election is very important, but this election should have turned out 90 to 10%. Frankin is an ass hat clown. Any moron could recognize that. There’s no excuse for this being close enough to steal.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Wellstone was an affable chap and decent tipper.

Franken is neither.

Liberal comic Jon Stewart slammed Republican opponents on his talk show, and other critics set up a fake website, RepublicansForRape.org, something that did not endear Franken to some of his conservative colleagues.

Planned Parenthood, NOW, and Bill Clinton are all Pro-rape. Ugly truth about a vile group of liberals.

[ReneeLynn]

Yep, there’s your sharp-tongued genius in all his glory.

[Faith]

Liberals are forever confusing fiery passion with blatant displays of ignorance and ill manners.

[BenLurkin]

He picks on underlings?

Pathetic.

"...the fiery passion that made him a hero...

Who would consider some snarky jerk a "hero"?

[DemforBush]

I’m not surprised. Franken has always been a Jacka$$ in public. The stories I’ve heard/read about him from the SNL days paint an even nastier picture. The guy is a bully with serious “small man’s” syndrome.

In saner times, Franken would probably be taken out to the woodshed for his antics. The Senate does tend to pooh-pooh such behavior, if nothing else. But, with Dingy Harry and Obama calling the shots, I doubt anything will be said as long as they hold power.

And I *still* say Coleman got screwed.

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

It depends on what the definition of "WON" is....

[Marathoner]

I live for the day when someone, ANYONE, on our side gets fed up with this assclown and belts him one.

[Tallguy]

Al Franken, the Democrat from Minnesota who won election to the Senate after a successful career as a comic and author... <

If you say so!

[tayper]

You sure it was a fair election? I don’t think so!

[MarMema]

It’s all about me, Al Franken.

[liberalcide1]

Shouldn’t there have been a barf alert on this. I only lightly scanned the article and had to rush to to the bathroom to puke.

[DoughtyOne]

No, I’m not saying that. I do think think the after count stunk to high heavens. I made a comment further down the thread that addresses the issue.

[Sister_T]

Al Franken, the Democrat from Minnesota who won stole the election to win the Senate ...

There, fixed.

[Manic_Episode]

His "sharp wit" is about a sharp as a turd stuck under your nose, at which point blunt force trauma becomes appropriate, proverbial or otherwise.

[Buckeye McFrog]

after watching this jerk on C-SPAN, flip over to Jesse Ventura’s new Troofer-nonsense spitting cable show, and you’ll REALLY wonder what Minnesota voters were smoking

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

THE COURT JESTER.

The movies had Danny Kay.
The UN has Hugo Chavez.
The Senate has Al Franken, the Democrat from Minnesota.
