....Peel away that thin layer of overt partisan spin, however, and it becomes clear that unease related to Franken's legendary personal baggage remains as strong as ever. Worse, his recent words and actions have generated new anger, this time from the left.
Leading the charge on that front is MSNBC / syndicated radio libtalker Ed Schultz, who has been outspoken this week in airing grievances against a politician whose candidacy he strongly supported. Schultz believes Franken has already sold out his beliefs in exchange for Beltway-style good 'ol boys acceptance.
From Tuesday's radio program, here's the exclusive audio and transcript:
SCHULTZ (03:51): Franken, I don't care if it's his first day in the Senate, I don't like what I'm hearing! How do you stand in front of crowds and listen to what people want for several years and then go to Washington and say, I'm proud to be number two from Minnesota! That's my vote, buddy! I did everything I could to help you defeat Norm Coleman!
I don't want you to go say that you're the number two senator from Minnesota. I don't want the bar lowered to the point where, well, we're really not sure if we can get this done or not. Where's all that tough talk in these books you sold about what a big fatass Limbaugh is! Why don't you go call the Republicans a bunch of fatasses and we're going to kick your ass and IT'S TIME NOW TO GET IT DONE! -

Sorry Schultzy, you can’t expect Franken to hang around left wing radio forever. That’s a deadend job. Al’s in THE BIG MONEY now! In a year or two, he’ll be able to buy YOU and all your radio stations if he wants to. LOL!
Is Ed Shultz somebody?
Not from where I come from.
Like him or hate him everybody knows Rush Limbaugh.
Morons like Shultz flail away in virtual obscurity.
It’s Nature’s way of telling them “You Suck”.
BOO HOO sounds like the left is stamping their feet now? LOL Well guess what, Obozo spent all of the money before he could get to what you all demanded. Try again in 40 or 50 years!
Franken has beliefs?? Who would have known that. What were they before he sold them out?
Leave 'em to finish their meal.
He’s number two alright! Remarkable self-assessment, Al.
