Minnesota tried their best for Coleman. Can’t blame them.

Franken got in by fraud, dead people and sissy Republicans.

The Republicans on the panel looking at the ballots along with the left
would not fight and gave in to the leftist. Remember the chads?
This was worse. If there was a speck of dirt somewhere on the ballot it was rejected. Republicans said, Oh ok. Sigh

Letting a clown like Franken preside over the Senate, especially at such a significant time, speaks volumes of the lack of respect for the institution that the Democrat Senate leadership (i.e., Reid and his underlings) has.

Do you suppose that the camera missed Franken's antics deliberately?

Doubtful there will be video. Private cameras are generally not permitted and the others are controlled by the Senate itself.

McConnell, you wuss. You should have stopped your milquetoast speechifying, walked up to Franken and beat him over the head with the mike. That’s the problem with these republicans - spineless, gutless so and so’s - all talk and zero action

In the House, I recall, Bob Dornan once grabbed Ed Markey by his necktie and pushed him up the wall in the cloak room.

I miss B-1 Bob. Wish we could bring him back if for no other reason to slap the snot out of that little weasel.

I swear to God the people of MN are nothing but a bunch of retards. As Hugh Hewitt titled his book, “If It Ain’t Close, They Can’t Steal It.” Sure, we now know there was significant vote fraud that gave Freakenstein that senate seat, but the bottom line is that elections have to be fairly close for vote fraud to take the day. How did it get close enough for vote fraud to take the day? BECAUSE MN IS FULL OF RETARDED LEFTISTS AND MORONS.

Just like the rest of the country, big cities are full of moronic welfare scammers and liberal elites with big government tit contracts. Blame Mpls/St. Paul and Duluth.

The rest of us are sane and did not vote for Franken.

That was my reaction the first time I saw that walking p!ss stain wield the gavel. Frankens mere presence in that Chamber leaves an odor that will take a generation to disinfect.

‘General Kagan? She isn’t fit to clean an EM’s latrine.’

For historical reasons, folks with the title ‘Attorney General’ and ‘Solicitor General’ are addressed as ‘General’. Don’t ask me why.

‘Even worse than what was previously reported, he was presiding over the senate chambers’

This is a job given to junior Senators of the majority party. Franken is he most junior Democrat.

‘can you clarify how 3rd party voters put Franken in office’.

Franken had slightly more votes than the incumbent Coleman (so they say), but a Reform Party candidate (Perot, Ventura) got 15% of the vote, so the total voting against Franken was 57%.

Scold?

Should have slapped him across the face with a leather gauntlet and told him to choose his Seconds.

There was a post recently here on FR that said felons voting illegally gave Franken the votes he needed to win.

The people of Minnesota that voted this clown into office deserve him! Liberalism is a sickness for which there is NO CURE!

MN seems to have an inordinate share. Before Freakenstein, they had Mark Dayton, a certified loon.
