Sunday WashPost Puff Piece Champions Al Franken as 'Perfect Senator' and 'Breakout Political Star'
Newsbusters ^ | March 19, 2017 | Tim Graham

Posted on 03/19/2017 10:27:35 AM PDT by kevcol

To underline how The Washington Post is a Democratic Party newspaper, the Sunday edition has a front-page puff piece on Sen. Al Franken. “Franken takes a judicious approach,” reads the newspaper headline. Online, the love is more palpable: “Al Franken may be the perfect senator for the Trump era — a deadly serious funnyman.”

Hard though it may be to believe, these morons and their insistence upon inanity can, at times, still make me want to projectile puke.

Like now.

He asked Senator Jeff Sessions to reply to a question regarding a FAKE NEWS Story about Russian Prostitutes urinating on a Hotel Bed and now he is the new Democrat Party go to guy? Amazing, simply amazing.

He simply has to run for POTUS with Jill Stein for VP. Almost as perfect as Eric Holder and Anthony Weiner. Almost

The Democrat political bench is pretty damn thin if the blithering idiot Stuart Smalley is being labeled as their go to guy in the senate. It’s Ok. The more left the Rats go the more middle class America abandons them even more.

Franken would even lose in Minnesota. If the GOP political class were made up of real people like us, instead of the money grubbing globalists most of them are today, we would have had the Democrat Party going down like the Titanic by now.

That photo exemplifies what the Democratic Party has become in 2017 - Franken is a man well ahead of his time.

That picture becomes more disturbing every time I see it. 30 years ago it was silly. Now it is a resume enhancer.

Franken/Wiener. We have to start denouncing this possible ticket now. We have to let the Democrats know that we are deathly afraid of this combination. Republicans know that this ticket is a sure winner.

Remember when democrats thought talk radio was ‘the answer’ - and they wanted to steal Rush’s thunder? So Franken’s ‘Air American’ was created and almost instantly failed?

Now brainless MSM liberal elites ‘feel’ Trump won because he was “Hollywood” so they plan on running Dufus... I mean Franken. And he’ll ‘win’ against Trump - just like he won against Rush Limbaugh.

The Washington Post is soooooooo shallow... so lacking in understanding .... so superficial.

Al Franken will be forever etched in my mind as the idiot on the train in “Trading Places.” He was in a gorilla costume. Perfect.
