AL FRANKEN WANTS WHAT??
NEALZ NUZE ^ | December 5, 2008 | NEAL BOORTZ

Posted on 12/05/2008 6:58:25 AM PST by Turret Gunner A20

As of yesterday, funny guy Al Franken was losing in the Minnesota Senate race. With 98% of the precincts reporting, Norm Coleman led by 316 votes.

Recognizing that defeat was near, Franken did what any sane, rational person would do .. he asked for the government to engage in a "systematic, forensic search" for 133 ballots missing in Minneapolis. Oh and by the way, this specific precinct heavily favors the Democrats.

I'd be curious to know the final price tag of all this funny business. How much taxpayer money will be spent doing a "systematic forensic search" for ballots that probably don't even exist! I mean we are talking about having to interview every single person who touched or transported ballots in that district. Anyone at the polling place, all the drivers of the vehicles that carried the ballots, each and every single employee that works in any warehouse where these ballots might have been stored.

Are you just as ready as I am to have this darn election in the history books?

Al Franken failed at talk radio .. maybe after this Senate race he can take his bitter self back to New York and write some more hilarious stuff for SNL.

The only bright spot in an otherwise dismal year is that it appears that “comedian” Al Franken will be denied a seat in the US Senate. The fact that people in Minnesota are so stupid as to put him within 316 votes is terrifying. A coked out, former comedy writer and failed actor turned bitter crazy ultra-liberal partisan has no business getting anywhere near the Senate.

One of my greatest wishes is to have five minutes alone with Al Franken to give him the ass kicking he so richly deserves.

Frankenstein's behind by 316 votes.Are we certain that he didn't demand a search for 317 "missing" ballots in Minneapolis? And,assuming he did,what are the chances that those 317 ballots *will* be found and that every blessed one of them will be for him?

I'd say the chances are just about 100%.

So he is desperate to lose by 183 votes??? Liberals. Bless their pointy little heads...

I don't know which skits he wrote, but on the ones he acted he was generally a humor sponge sucking the laughs out of otherwise potentially funny skits.

If the 300 vote lead holds , the 133 votes can’t put him over the top and are therefore moot.

>>>>>>I mean we are talking about having to interview every single person who touched or transported ballots<<<<<

Important to note that Franken’s campaign specified in writing each and every specific step to be taken in this “systematic, forensic search”.

What Neal says above isn’t just hyperbole, its an abbreviated but accurate summary of exactly what was demanded.

for 133 ballots missing in Minneapolis.

How do they know there are 133 missing ballots?

Oh you're more than welcome, few people know that Marg got her start in the now defunct ABC Soap 'Ryan's Hope', along with noneother than Kate Mulgrew aka 'Cap'n Janeway' on Star Trek Voyager.

They don’t know for sure. They only know that 133 less votes in the hand recount than what where reported election night. So they don’t know if the first count was maching error or human error or ballots just went missing.
