Senator Mitch McConnell gave Al Franken a piece of his mind after being mocked by him in the Senate chambers during his speech in opposition to Elena Kagan's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
I'm glad to hear Franken was apologetic to McConnell after being reminded he is no longer a writer for Saturday Night Live and doesn't have to be unfunny in the Senate too. To be fair, he absolutely did the right thing, but it came only after being taken to task for it.
What if he wasn't? Would he still have been sorry? Did it really have to take a parental scolding for him to actually become self-aware of his teenage antics this time?
Honestly, what does Minnesota have to say for themselves? They gave us a senator who talks and acts like the ventriloquist dummy that he looks like more than than the statesman he should be. He's had a year and a half of practice being an adult now and he still can't get it together when he's presiding over the United States Senate?
YEAH, NO KIDDING!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for forgiveness, and he did apologize. So this issue is pretty much done, I guess. But now I want to know how many more apologies would it take before Minnesota realizes what many of us in the country already know....
That Al Franken really is sorry.

I know they are a liberal state but the judge threw out the military vote (IIRC) among other votes. Pretty hard to know if it was close or not. These people lie.
Sorriest sack of stuff I know.
Sorriest a-hole in the Senate.
Al Franken will never be an adult. He will backpedal when he gets called out for looking exceptionally stupid but he will continue to be a horse’s patoot for the rest of his life.
I would rather hear a sorry from the numbskull Minn voters who voted for this clown.
Thanks to SEIU and Democrat operatives Franken stole the election and is an embarrassment to Minnesota. I can’t wait for Franken to face angry Minnesotans when the EPA bans wood and corn pellet burning stoves, the UN gains control of Minnesota fishing and the Mayo Clinic refuses to accept Medicare patients.
