As predicted by many, it appears the meltdown of the most emotionally unstable member of the United States Senate is finally underway.
After being a good boy during the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings, the newly fraudulently installed Sen. Al Franken (D-ACORN), couldn't resist letting T. Boone Pickens have it for funding those delightful Swift Boat ads that helped bury John Kerry's presidential prospects.
The Politico reports
According to a source, the wealthy oil and gas magnate and author of "The First Billion is the Hardest" stepped up to introduce himself to Franken in a room just off the Senate Floor after the lunch ended
Franken, who was seated talking to someone else, did not stand when Pickens said hello. Instead, Franken began to berate him about the billionaire's financing of the Swift Boat ads in 2004.
According to a source, the confrontation grew heated.
Said Franken spokeswoman Jess McIntosh: "It was a lively conversation."
This sounds like congressional flakspeak for a vicious verbal brawl.
It's just the beginning. Sen. Smalley just can't help himself.

Don’t look at me. I was ready to start the Civil War now over them seating this SOB...
Aww, gee, don't pick on the poor horses like that. They can't help it if their * looks like Stuart Smalley's face.
I wish Pickens had planted a Texas-size boot right up Stewart Smalleys ass. Couldn’t miss the target.
No more than the black guy from IL who took over Obama’s senate seat.
Who didn't see this coming? Remember the feud he had with Hannity?
Franken is a first class Kook.
Franken is stupid enough to fit right in.
The election of this comedic moron is the equivalent of Caligula appointing his horse to the senate. Frankly, I’d rather have the horse!
Give the boy some credit. At least he ain’t two-faced.
parsy.
Franken only believes in free speech for himself.
NOt a good idea to piss off a billionaire that has a track record of funding the opposition. Pickens now has 5 1/2 years to fund and promote a challenger to remove Smalley from his stolen seat.
Horse’s ass is right. Even a liberal turd could at least stand up to greet someone, not him. Way to go Minnesota! (FReepers excluded)
So soon? I knew it would happen but didn’t expect it just yet. I pray that his next outburst will be caught on tape so we call all see it. Somebody bait him please.
If I lived in Minnesota I don’t think I would admit it.
Pretty hard to bring even more shame to that chamber, but if possible Franken certainly has a good shot at making it happen.
Henderson vs. Smalley. I really like that idea. And then a Gonzaga kick to the head a la Cro Cop would be icing on the cake.
T. Boone Pickens... Intelligent, Sharp and Mannerly with a gentleman’s behavior.
frankin....stupid, dull and ill mannered who wears diapers for laughs. Glad he’s not MY Senator.
Why is the smarter, better looking one behind bars?
