Norm Coleman's campaign has produced a new ad, "Angry Al." It highlights Al Franken's frequently hotheaded, profane and inappropriate conduct:
I think they got the still image near the end from this site. It was taken at the 2004 RNC. I also witnessed the confrontation between Franken and Michael Medved at the same convention that you see, briefly, in the ad. Franken can be a scary guy. When the news broke about the pornography--no, wait, "satire of pornography"--that Franken wrote for one of the men's magazines, his campaign manager said, "We think the voters understand the difference between a comedian and a U.S. Senator." I think that difference is becoming ever clearer to Minnesotans.
SCOTT adds: It's a funny kind of attack ad. The only person speaking in it (beside Coleman in the ad's mandatory disclosure) is Al Franken himself.

They should also mention how nice guy Al was a principal in “Air Amerika” which embezzled $$ from children’s charities. It’a a matter of public record.
Way beyond any hope for recovery.
Lifetime asylum.
Not only acceptable but desirable attributes in a democRATic candidate.
Sweet. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Way to go Norm! The long knives are out.

Me?? ANGRY????
p.s. Great ad!
I think that may be the best damn campaign add I’ve ever seen.

Hey - not so fast. Franken is impressing the RIGHT people... He could replace Biden if SloJo leaves the ticket, not Hillary... LOL
You sir, and or madam, are a kind and benevolent person to accord him this overrated status. ;-)
Cheers!
Weird Al is going to loose on the same scale as obama. Savage has said liberalism is a mental illness, I never really accepted that until this election cycle. Libs just don’t get it, they don’t get who most of America is they just refuse to accept what most of America is all about. It really is a sickness.
I am donating to Coleman tomorrow.

I thought 2000 was bad as far as their nuttiness was concerned and then came 2004, but this year, THIS YEAR, is the Mother of all Nuttiness years!
I am actually concerned that one of them may make an attempt on McCain/Palin!

I feel that ads like these that simply show clips of the candidate in their own words are the most effective. Al Franken certainly is a filthy, slimy little toad of the 1st degree (no offense intended to filthy, slimy toads).
If I lived in Minnesota, I’d write in Michael O’Donoghue.
Did Stu Smalley pay his workman’s comp yet?

It annoys me.
The Spirit of ‘76 is really gone isn’t it (at least among the Democrats).
As for Al Frankenstein...he strikes me as an angry alcoholic, aka nasty drunk.
Darnit, you beat me to it!
“I am donating to Coleman tomorrow.”
We all should.
Franken is a disgrace as a human being, and certainly does not deserve to be anywhere near the senate.
What with such jerks as Franken, and that other insufferable doofus G. Keillor, I believe that the term should be re-worked to read "Minnesota Nasty"...

I remember Hannity saying that Franken grabbed him by the shirt collar once. He can’t control his temper.
There are pictures of him several years ago jumping on the back of some protester. Those should be published.
