I'm amazed there wasn't a series of photos taken seconds later of the man beating the living hell out of Franken. Really, who would sit there and take a finger in the face lecture from that man?

Al Franken is funny?

We're laughing with you, Al, not at you.

To heck with the soap box and the ballot box. I am very close to taking action other than those two - the bullet box.

I agree.

Even before I knew of Franken’s political leanings, I never found him that funny.

Occasionally, he’d hit a home run humor-wise. But most of his stuff was and remains un-funny.

WTF?! is exactly correct.

My homestate has really stepped in it this time. We just elected a foul-mouthed, ultra-liberal, thieving carpet-bagger to the US Senate.

Norm Coleman really should be ashamed of his loss. Even in a leaning Dem state like ours, Coleman should have won this race by 5-10 points. It shouldn’t have been close.

His term as a Senator was one of limited visibility. He was reluctant to take a stand on anything because he feared offending just about anyone. he loved the behind the scenes elbow-rubbing and favor-trading that many of us have come to hate in DC.

His campaign was absolute crap. His main slogan (un-officially) was “Vote for me! I’m not Al Franken!”.

He voted against drilling in ANWR and he voted in favor of the first round bail-outs. Franken ain't the right replacement, but he did need replacing!

Funny? Maybe Alterman hadn't seen this diatribe. Or this arrested-development "humor".

How stinkin’ awful are partisan media shills carrying water for another proxy for the single party state? Thanks The Spirit Of Allegiance.
