Sen. Al Franken

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."He (McConnell) is entitled to give his speech with the presiding officer just listening respectfully." said Franken

Yeah he’s sorry alright.
Yea sorry he had to apologize
Yep. As in “one sorry son of a bitch.”
Sen. Al Franken
His first impulse was to mock proving again that he is a fool, nothing better.
The mere presence of that sh!tstain in the Senate is testimony to the dangerous joke that place has become.
I believe Al is a thief, a crook, a liar, an immoral bastard, a worthless POS, a idiot, and a evil S*&T. I don’t care if he is sorry.
A sorry excuse for a human being, much less a US Senator.
Really something to be proud of for those Minnesotans who felt that Norm Coleman just wasn’t smart enough, good enough and doggone it, people didn’t like him.
Stolen elections have consequences
Minnesota SUCKS!!!
Well put!
, D-MN.
Go back to Lake Woe-be-gone, Franken.
OMG, no wonder Washington Post is in the toilet. Did you read those comments over there? Good grief, is that really the caliber of people the Post is aiming toward?
The voters of Minnesota must also be sorry they elected Franken to the Senate. They must have thought that Franken’s stand up comedy would have entertained them from the Senate.
Minnesota does not need a court jester in the Senate. Until they get serious, the joke will be on their sorry state.
Yeah, he’s one $orry @$$ piece of $...< /vulgarity >
I suspect Minnesota is about to elect a Democrat governor who won't be the least bit interested in preventing tax hikes as Pawlenty did in his time. The majority of Minnesotans will likely reelect Franken if he runs again in four years. Heck, with Democrats controlling the state we will deperately need people like Franken to bail us out of financial catastrophe.
So you see, it's a symbiotic relationship.
It all averages out. The Republicans had Reagan, an entertainer who moved into state and national politics. The Democrats have Franken, a legend in his own mind.
A Minnesota judge threw out the law so Franken could win. That judge wasn't tarred and feathered, so anything goes in this state. The majority probably aren't sorry about Franken.
Wow!
I don't really think Minnesota gave us this moron. I think he stole it by going to court so many and getting favorable rulings from idiot judges (just like CA judges!)
The fact is, Minnesotans made it close enough to allow him to win,
I think Minnesotans are bent on lowering the credibility of their state.
