Via the Hill:

McConnell grew increasingly angry as Franken made fun of him before a crowded public gallery and Senate aides lining the chamber walls. Senate aides said they were shocked that Franken would flout the decorum of the chamber during such a solemn occasion.

After McConnell finished his remarks, he walked up to the dais and rebuked him.

“This is not ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al,” McConnell said, making reference to Franken’s career as a writer and actor on NBC’s long-running comedy show, according to a witness who overheard the exchange.

A spokeswoman for Franken did not immediately return requests for comment.

He’s never had more talent or originality than a middle-school misfit. The class clown continues to be rewarded for his behavior.....

You have to admit, that was a pretty good rebuke.

Why does Minnesota always vote for the strangest people? Mondale carried one state in the Reagan Mondale election. Minnesota. They elected Jessee Ventura and Keith Ellison, the first muslim to serve in the Senate and took his oath of office on the koran. Ralph Nader carried Minnesota once. And then they almost elect Al Frankenstein. I say almost because I believe without a doubt that election was stolen but the fact is enough people voted for him to put it close enough for him to be able to steal it. Also, they gave him 9 monthes to steal it. What is wrong with them?

Beginning with the Kennedys, continuing with the Clintons and their mob, liberals have shown themselves to be low-class, low-intellect, pathetic excuses for humans. It has only gotten worse w/the Obama tribe. I hate to make such a sweeping generlization, but I am continually dismayed at the displays of incredibly low-class behavior. People such as Olbermann, Maddow, and Schultz (I’m not sure if those spellings are correct.) come immediately to mind. Trash, pure trash. I apologize in advance to those of you who will be offended by this post. I’m just sick to death of the level to which discourse from the left has sunk.

This one’s easy enough.

The next time Franken goes up to make a speech, the GOP senators should start in with an assortment of kazoos, whoopee cushions, bicycle horns and air horns. Bringing in a calliope and a monkey named Barack would be a nice touch too.
