Yep!
Angry and scared for our country. =\
Minnesota gave us the first muzzie congressman too.
A muzzie and a clown. What a combo!
I don’t know how Minnesoooooootans live with themselves!
Here is what this means. Minnesota still has only one senator. California has 3 senators. Franken is not senator from MN he is senator from Hollywood.
I don’t even know if Al is married or even straight. If he’s single, a hell-raising southern girl could change his life for him. About 2 seconds after the “i do’s” she’d be setting him straight.
parsy, who has seen the 2 second change a couple of times.
A state full of idiots is represented by a idiot.
Good point. Will no doubt behave like he’s still IN Hollywood, too!
This will be interesting to watch if nothing else...since
that’s all we can do now.......
So many clowns, what will happen?
The Republicans must force Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd to come to the floor to cast their cast votes. And Tim Johnson, as well. By the way, can he talk yet?
I would donate to see that this WAS put on a billboard in MN and on the Beltway in DC!
Even if they “expire” before they “retire” the DIMs will
prop them up in a corner and pull strings to get their
hands raised for a vote.
No one will notice the stench...it’s already too pervasive!
“Has an election for the US Senate ever been so obviously stolen in front of everyone?”
There is no longer even an attempt to hide it. Until these POSs start getting prosecuted and going to jail, it’ll only get worse. Don’t look for anything from this current government, though... they like things just the way things are.
Nothing good.
Look at the motley collection of delusional liars, blowhards, crooks, con artists, theives, idiots, racists, whore mongers, slobbering queers and pedophiles, Femi-Nazis, clowns, failed comedians, and plain mental deficients running the country.
What a great descrition.
Sounds like the dialogue from Blazing Saddles.
You mean with people?
It really defies common sense as to how all these useless idiots got elected in the first place!
Our founding fathers are either rolling in their graves or rolling with laughter at their antics!
Scary thought....
The results are indesputable....
The state has become an INSANE ASYLUM!
LOL !!!!
I always figured he was home alone, brooding, and that’s why he seemed so labile.
parsy, who come to think of it,is sitting home, alone...
