Sen. Al Franken Rants and Raves at Sen. John Thune on Senate Floor - Video 12/15/09

Here is video of Minnesota Democrat Sen. Al Franken slamming GOP Sen. John Thune from the Senate Floor over remarks Thune had made about the Democrats' Government Health Care Bill. Thune and Franken went back and forth over whether any benefits from the bill would begin as soon as it is passed, or whether nothing really begins flowing until 2014.

Franken comes across as a total jerk in the video, as he rants and raves. . . . (VIDEO)

Franken frankly sounds drunk. He sounds like Otis from the Andy Griffith Show.

Oh, no.

There's my Senator from Ohio, who is almost as jerkish as Franken.

Franken said, “He goes.” Meaning, “he said.”

Al Fraken is proof that God has a sense of humor. He gave Franken free will and is amused at how he’s using it.

Thanks Again Minnesota.

Acting completely out of character...Franken comes across as a total jerk in the video, as he rants and raves.

Who'd have thunk it?

Franken: “We are entitled to our own opinions but we are not entitled to our own facts”.

Because democrats like Franken, Pelosi, Reid and Obama will tell you what are facts and what are not facts.

All else, of course, is misunderstandings from unfortunate ignorant deniers.

Now, pay your taxes and shut up.

They really get into rants, jeering, and cheering.
Entertaining!

Franken is not entertaining. He means it. I’m surprised, though, that he would actually claim he can read.

Republicans need to get better at making their point concisely. Thune said that the “the spending benefits under the bill” didn’t kick in until 2014. If that meant things that were going to be paid for by the new taxes, he needed to say it. Republicans already have two big handicaps: Dems lie and the DBM protects them. Thune had two chances to make his point and he didn’t. I listened twice and still don’t know what he meant. Can anyone explain?
