AL FRANKEN: CAUGHT ON CAMERA, AND UNABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF! (VIDEO)
biggovernment.com ^ | 3/29/10 | Jason Mattera

Check out clip of Al Franken being put on the spot about healthcare and unable to defend his position. He eventually plays the victim role by repeatedly yelling at the journalist "Let me talk", but still refuses to actually speak to the substance of the question.

What else would an intelligent person expect? Al Franken is indefensible, period.

I understand that people don’t like Al Franken but I would personally put this video in the must see section. This is absolutely classic. The man ask him a question and his answer is basically, “Please shut up”

BWAAAAA. This is classic

Sorry. I gotta say this is just rude interviewing.

Look, Franken is a fool and I have no respect for his brand of politics. But if he says politely "Let me answer that", the interviewer cannot then say "I'm listening" and then immediately launch into a boring and repetitive recapsulation of the question.

The interviewer did this non-stop. I would have walked away sooner than Franken did.

I watched. It’s EXACTLY the kind of questioning that the MSM should be asking and they aren’t. Therefore, it’s extremely depressing. Not only do we have a guy who stole his senat seat, but we have a guy who is visibly and clearly enthusiastic about dismantling the US in every way possible now that he has it.

I'm not defending Franken. I'm not saying Franken is classy.

I'm saying the interviewer was rude and deliberately trying to provoke a negative reaction. I consider it unprofessional, and tactically unwise.

You may be right, but it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Al used the line he made fun of O’Reilly for using at him. Every appearance Al made to promote his book, he told the story of his encounter with O’Reilly.

Mattera does talk and interrupt too much. He needs to smooth out his technique, stop with the one-word interjections, etc. I admire his guts and tenacity, though.
