Al Franken's career as an entertainer made him famous and rich and positioned him to run for the U.S. Senate.

I still can't figure out how people can support this clown?

The only reason I can think of why this is printed in the Red Star is because they must be supporting that Nelson-Pallmer guy.

That is because HALF of this country are a bunch of mindless, ignorant, selfish ass-clowns. We call them liberals. They exist at the same level on the evolutionary ladder as lawyers and politicians. At the bottom, all feeding off the rest of the ladder...

Franken isn’t a comedian, he’s a joke.

Tripped up by the way his business was run. They make it sound like Franken had nothing to do with it.

He is an effing hypocrite. Why should anyone be surprised by that. Franken lied, taxpayers sighed!

Sometimes you don’t need to pay your taxes. Its nice if you can get away with it.

Remember: “Franken & Davis, brought to you by the American Communist Party”, on SNL? Freudian slip, perhaps?

A man who doesn't even keep track of his tax filings. We're supposed to believe he'll be good at managing the federal budget.

Franken is a botched partial birth abortion.

If you are a leftist, your criminal acts are ‘mishaps’. But if you are a conservative, you can’t even disagree with a reporter without risking being prosecuted.

"I don't think Minnesotans want a U.S. Senator who doesn't pay his taxes," Carey said.

Our experience in North Carolina wasn't good with a senator who didn't pay his taxes, namely John Edwards. Not once or twice, which could be oversights, slip ups, but year after year he didn't pay his property taxes when due. Of course, John Edwards as the Breck Girl, had better comedy material than Al Franken, but it's the principle of the thing.
