(Minneapolis, 1/5/09) Al Franken today, in a spurious and impromptu statement, decried the use of taxpayer funds to continue the recount in Minnesota indicating he’s so far ahead now after months of recount, there is no need to begin wasting money to continue.
“On election day I was almost 800 votes behind my opponent. During these months and months of handheld viewing of ballots to determine voter intent, it turns out we located enough lost, misplaced and undercounted votes for me to overtake Mr. Coleman and win the election. Yes, that recount cost the taxpayers millions, millions that could have gone to infrastructure, social programs, jobless programs, etc., but it was done for a good cause, that is, my best interests. Now Mr. Coleman threatens to contest many of these votes extending the mindless, needless use of taxpayer money in a lost cause. If this were to continue, rest assured we’d continue to locate missing votes, wherever they may be, in my favor resulting in my esteemed opponent never catching up. My first act as Senator is to call for an end to this election and recount. Any further protestations and wasting of funds will be on Mr. Coleman and the Republican Party, not me.”
Senator Harry Reid concurred, saying, “It is our sacred trust and bond with the public to ensure the tax money spent by the people of Minnesota is spent in a judicious and cautious manner as we in the Senate already do for the entire United States. Ensuring the election of a Democrat, by whatever means necessary, is a wise use of funds. We must not waste money so a Republican can catch up.”
Developing..
further proof that republicans can be stupid and spineless at the same time
This has got to be a cartoon.
“Voter Intent”. What a BS term that was. Franken will last about a week in the Senate. He’ll be tazed by Capitol Police after he assualts Elizabeth Dole, who, being the oldest Republican woman in the Senate is the type of sparring partner the hero of 30 rock throws a sucker punch at.
Translation...I’m ahead now so we can quit counting.
I’ll say the usual 30% won’t realize this is satire. (even after this post)
Make that 50%.
check keywords..:)
Isn’t it amazing how he went from 800 votes down to 200+ ahead. /s
It’s a parody (I think...)
Very funny, but sadly, probably true in their minds. Pathetic, vote-stealing, thugs!
Face it guys, the Constitution is dead.
Our form of government requires first and foremost honest and honorable men governing in an honorable fashion. Since we no longer have honest men in government, the Constitution will continue to be twisted into whatever form best suits our ruling elite.
R.I.P. U.S.A.
True, but Lizzy won’t be there. She lost.
I’ll say the usual 30% won’t realize this is satire.
*****************
It order for satire to be funny it has to have a ring of truth.
I think Libby Dole lost her Senate seat but I’m sure if Frankenstein were actually seated that he’d find someone to assault. I bet Bill O’Reilly doesn’t interview him anytime soon. ;-)
Just like Rome Political corruption will lead to the fall Of the United States.
I dont think we have the Moral courage or will power to take our country back. But only time will tell.
So much for “let’s count every vote.”
I’m sorry, after Franken LOST the first 7 recounts, I think there was some serious CHEATING going on here.
Is ANYONE going to stop this A$$HOLE????????
Hello Minnesota! This is your freedom calling! Is ANYONE up there????
PAYING this MORON a salary would be a waste of taxpayer “money.”
