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.

Nice work.
He picked a fight with T. Boone Pickens?
T. Boone Pickens can have him doused with gasoline and have him set him on fire.
for this crowd, EVERYTHING is politics (though I likely would have let Boone have it myself for his windmill scam)
He could behead animals and children on the capitol steps in broad daylight and not a peep would be heard. He’s a party member.
“Al...YOU’RE FIRED!!!”
I'm ashamed to admit I was born there!
A number of FReepers watched as he tossed a chair in protest of the suggestion that he be joinly interview with JOhn O'Neill.
It was at a CPAC conference.
This is vintage Franken from his Air America days. I think even the Minnesota DFL will soon be sick of him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is forced to resign before the end of his term.
Yow, that's a good point.
Pickens dropping a few strategic 10's of millions would be entertainment money for him.
And frankly, for FR too.
When T. Boone Pickens doesn't like you, that is a problem--for you.
For popcorn sales, it's a boon.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.
I like that movie.
He says what all Democrats are thinking: “somethin’s gotta be done about this free speech business”.
The Democrats. By their fruits you shall know them.
Yep, but I'd still prefer him to my senior Senator, Lindsey Graham.
At least Franken would stab me in the front.
Can’t agree. They are all evil. I don’t believe Graham would take such a disgusting, nasty photo as the one of frankin in a diaper. Makes me want to vomit.
