EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Al Franken’s Little Fit at CPAC’s Radio Row
Human Events Online ^ | February 22, 2005 | Robert Bluey

Posted on 02/22/2005 11:18:39 AM PST by hinterlander

Al Franken threw a little tizzy fit at CPAC.

The onlookers didn't seem to phase Franken, who knew there were no TV cameras around, but he apparently didn't realize a photojournalist, Carrie Devorah, had her trusty Nikon in hand (see pictures below).

On the other hand, perhaps Franken wouldn't have cared either way.

Here's the story: Franken made a gutsy cameo appearance at last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. Talk-show host Michael Medved scheduled Franken for a 3 p.m. interview on Medved's radio show, which was broadcasting from CPAC's "radio row." Separately, Unfit for Command co-author John O'Neill had been invited to "drop by" Medved's show for an interview.

Trouble is, O'Neill showed up right when Medved was gearing up for the interview with Franken, and that's when Franken threw his little fit.

After a reportedly heated exchange, Franken agreed to the interview, so long as he wasn't on air with O'Neill. He got is way. The interview proceeded.

Al Franken is a whiny sissyboy. He likes to sound tough but he's genuinely terrified of any actual debate.

I see a pic of Franken and I hear AssClown echoing in my head.

I can't help it, it's the absolute best term for him.

The only time John O'Neill has anything other than a serene expression on his face was when Franken was directly behind him. He looked a little worried then.

Just another whiny dem-lib-socialist who can tongue-lash conservatives but can't take it when it comes back at him!
