Comedian Al Franken was declared the winner of the Minnesota Senate race today after the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected all of Sen. Norm Coleman's legal arguments that the recount had been unfair. Coleman conceded the race in the video below . . . . (Watch Video) . . . . The victory gives the Democrats 58 Senate seats, with two independents who virtually always vote with the Democrats. That equals a 60-vote super majority in the Senate if they all stick together. Sixty votes are enough to invoke cloture, which allows legislation to be brought to the floor. . . .

What a country....what a country.
Stolen election by left wing thuggery.
Passed in 2009, repealed in 2010.
I’m officially now beyond contempt and disgust for the United States Senate.
Even “pathetic” or “ridiculous” doesn’t capture it.
What shall we name this new laughingstock body of charlatans and fools?
And buggery.
Check out Drudge LOL!
Stuart Smalley.
Images like court jesters or royal fools come to mind, but this is America with an allegedly different kind of government. Democratic jesters? Representative fools?
And the left-wing Internet chat boards have lit up with people saying “the Democrats have power, but must use it wisely and carefully. This is not a time for settling old scores or plundering the treasury, but rather, a time for making careful decisions with an eye upon history.”
Okay, not really. But I can dream sometimes...
Two Dems are all but unable to fulfill their elected duties (Swimmer and Sheets). However, we have the gang of McCain, Graham, Martinez, etc. who vote with the liberals in the neighborhood of 50%.
With the GOP foisting more RINO candidates upon us (e.g. Crist), this eternal optimist is getting seriously jaded.
If thats what 33% of Minnesotans want then a small man in a diaper is what they will get.
One less RINO to worry about in the primaries.
There are times when I think having Democrats running govt will be a very good thing when Social Security and Medicare go bust and/or inflation goes to 20% as the govt prints money to prop them up.
The Honorable "Senator" from Minniesoooooda!
Like Franken, Iran's loser-named-winner, Ahmadinejad, got even more votes on the re-count than he got on the first stuffed-ballot-box count.
Why are we bothering to follow the law anymore?
did your sissy fit really feel that good?
Minn......farms and fishing and wolves and moose....and all those lakes....a lot of you are a bunch of idiots ...
enjoy your communist country...
everything...everything...is being stolen from us....
The face of the Democrat Party is now officially a clown; Bozo would look better!
This is the least of it. We have a Kenyan president.
