EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Al Franken’s Little Fit at CPAC’s Radio Row

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.

Is there a transcript?

[TheBigB]

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

[jra]

WHEW! Franken has issues.

[adam_az]

Am I logged in?

[BonnieJ]

He looks violent.

[Astronaut]

Franken is a whiny little girl. I would love to kick his ass.

[American_Centurion]

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.

[areafiftyone]

And this jerk was thinking of running for public office? He's a little child who has temper tantrums. GROW UP AL!

[JustaCowgirl]

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.

[Polyxene]

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

[billorites]

Looks like he's about to cry.

[Rummyfan]

My underarm to you and your conservative guest!

Franken: what a loon!

[motherof 3]

And Franken loves to call other people "big fat idiots".

[PissAndVinegar]

WahWahWha...Boohoo...*sniff*sniff*
Waaaaaaaah.....me wants my mommy!!

Or something like that :)

[sure_fine]

I can't believe I sat here on dialup and d/l that whole thing

[BonnieJ]

What has Franken accomplished...Sat. Nite Live, a couple of ridiculous books...what else?

Unfit for Broadcast..the Al Franken Story

[bonfire]

"WHEW! Franken has issues."

His girly voice and butt-ugly face for starters.

[over3Owithabrain]

He is cruising for a bruising. The guy likes to intimidate conservative radio hosts and other personalities. One of these days somebody is not going to take it sitting down.

[eleni121]

An officer and a gentleman sitting near a POS on the same stage...now that's awful.

[newgeezer]

Must be overloading someone's server. Mostly, I get a bunch of these (watch closely):

[ChinaThreat]

Yeah, him and Dean would make a great civil union :-)

[tomswiftjr]

If O'Neill, a genuine war hero, had just stood up, Franken would have had to go to Penneys for new underwear.

[kellynla]

No, what I was talking about, is there a transcript of the interview with Franken? LOL

[MarineBrat]

Even Al "Wankin'" Franken is smart enough to know that John O'Neill would mop up the floor with him.

[HamiltonJay]

I'm still trying to find out how this guy is called a Comedian... going all the way back to his SNL days I couldn't find any material by this guy that was actually funny.

[Laura Earl]

What a p!ssy little pantywaist!

[finnman69]

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout. NYAH NYAH NYAH!"

[tomswiftjr]

If O'Neill, a genuine war hero, had just stood up, Franken would have had to go to Penneys for new underwear.

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.

Perhaps he is aware of Franken's history of physically blind-siding people.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I'm with you... after seeing how he treated an American hero at CPAC-so would I.

[newgeezer]

Okay, NOW they're all loading. Nevermind. :-)

[loborojo]

Classic liberal tactic. When you don't or no longer agree with what they are saying, they throw a tantrum and call you stupid.

[anniegetyourgun]

In that photo, Medved appears to be flashing that "are you getting this on film?" look!!!!

[bonfire]

Well, I was around and watching when Frankel was on SNL and he was NEVER funny. That's why you never hear much about his contributions to the show......there weren't any.

[Laura Earl]

PING to a sissy hissy.

[rabidralph]

Pardon me for asking but, what kind of man expects to be taken seriously when he has his hands on his hips?

[jdege]

I expect O'Neill has an understanding of the full range of possible negative encounters sufficient to recognize that having AL Franken pissed off at you isn't all that big a deal.

[Baynative]

Does anyone know what was going on or being said during this little hissy fit?

[anniegetyourgun]

That is a scary thought, eh? This guy can't handle a simple matter like this with any amount of grace, I can't even imagine him elected to dog catcher. If he were, we'd be getting those "man bites dog" stories everytime his temper flared!

[Laura Earl]

Looks like he's getting in the last word before he goes out to hang clothes on the line in the backyard.

[HereInTheHeartland]

O'Neill should have re-arranged his glasses.

[West Coast Conservative]

[rabidralph]

"I did so order the coffee enema! Why did they bring me decaf?!"

[mhking]

I can imagine Al screeching at the top of his lungs like the rabid little moonbat that he is...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[rabidralph]

LOL! Yes he does!

[JFK_Lib]

Franken is an absolute disgrace.

And to think the left considers him their answer to Rush is proof that the left is bankrupt.
