Classy bunch.
Believe me, I'm probably one of the more, uh, open-minded people about pre-marital sex on this site, but man the dems just never shut up about it. I guess they need to talk about SOMEthing...but sex with that shell-less turtle Franken? BLECH!!!
RUN AL RUN !!!
>>Comedian for Senator? Don't Laugh (Al Franken)
Most people who hear Franken do comedy don't laugh either.
Where'd they get the idea he's a comedian?
He's one of those smart comics that came out of the Lampoon.
To be smart, you have to be funny, he's neither.
Actually, I believe he was more of a hanger on at the Lampoon. Conan, for what it's worth, was a staff member.
As for him being smart, now that is funny ... :-)
I'm in the masses who never have laughed at him. He's pathetic; and if he had any taste, he would be embarrassed.
Yeah. Franken is simply not even funny.
I've seen Franken do ONE funny routine on Saturday Night Live, circa 1977 or so (the one in which he claimed that he and Davis were homosexual lovers; his 'son', a miniature Franken lookalike with glasses, ran out of the audience shrieking, 'I hate you, Daddy! I HATE YOU!')
Do you know what IS funny about Franken? His wife's name is Franny. Franny Franken.
I'll take your word for it, I don't know his routine.
If you'd ever been to Thief River Falls in the winter, then you'd understand that when someone says "jumped ya" , sex is not the first thing to come to mind.:)
My point is the use of the phrase, which even this article points out is not a sexual reference (though the joke is obviously a double entendre)--yet they have to get that in there somehow. Of all the comments made at this event, they quote that one?
Jesse Ventura won. I suppose this guy could if doesn't shoot himself in the foot.
Jesse was a surprise. Even Republican conservatives abandoned their party choice and voted Ventura.
I'd be surprised if Franken won. Ventura was at least a popular figure as a wrestler, and had success as a mayor in Brooklyn Park. Franken has little popularity for his SNL work and just turns people away.
Totally agree !!
He needed a partner to be funny...someone normal, for the contrast.
