Here is video of Bill O'Reilly talking to Sen. Jim DeMint tonight, where they focused on Sen. Al Franken's insult against Sen. Joe Lieberman in the U.S. Senate yesterday.

During the segment, O'Reilly played audio of Franken defending himself today, where he claimed he had no choice to shut down Lieberman because he had been given marching orders from Sen. Harry Reid. In a sense, he threw Harry Reid under the bus here!

DeMint said Franken - a junior Senator - was "way out of line," and was not telling the truth in his defense of his actions. DeMint said he was surprised at Franken "throwing Harry Reid under the bus." . . . (VIDEO)

In this case, Franken may be telling the truth. I heard that the new Dim senator from Alaska did the same thing to Texas Senator Cornyn, also on orders from Reid.

What can you really expect from a man who was elected by ACORN.

Memo to Digger Reid...

The whole purpose of "triangulation" is to NOT get pulled into the mess.

[unixfox]

MinnesoDUH must be proud of the senator they elected.

[CedarDave]

Sen. Begich (D-AK) similarly objected to request by Sen. Cornyn for more time earlier in the day

He is creepy

I saw that also. It seems it only applies to the right.

Franken is a penis.

Well, THAT certainly did not take long. How many years are the communists stuck with Al?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ErnBatavia]

Franken is a .....

Wrongo....a pecker has an actual use, all jokes aside.

[hinckley buzzard]

When this doodah runs for re-election, this picture should grace billboards all over that ridiculous frostbit state.

"Senator from Minnesota!" "Present." "Check!

Does Lieberman own a pair? If he does, who gets the last laugh?

If Lieberman doesn't own a pair, who cares what Lieberman thinks?

[Shyla]

I was just trying to be polite... ; )

The other side? That works.

The Repubs can play this came too. Every time some Dem requests extra time, they just need to ‘Object.’ Probably a little childish, but if that’s how Scary Hairy wants to play the game.

HEY AL:

You owe me some brain-soap.

No, he’s more like the effluent after the use of said contraption.

Not smart. Franken hurt himself and the Democrats far more than what Lieberman's potential completion of a sentence likely would have done.
