You'll really laugh when Franken's propped-up radio show tanks. God knows who he will assault then.

[mystery-ak]

I'd pay to see that.

[Petronski]

PUBLICITY STUNT or PSYCHOSIS?

There is no other explanation.

[Jaded]

Just the ones that have shucked their mortal coil. The rest have gone over the top.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Press charges! Press charges! Press charges!

[thesummerwind]

I want to see Franken rumble with Ted Nugent....

Can't rumble just right now. Ted cut his leg in a tree/chainsaw accident a while back down in Texas.

Ted's o.k., but he's laid up with his leg in a cast. And you know how itchy those casts can be. Ted can't rumble now, but would be glad to soon, right now he has a slight case of 'Cast Scratch Fever'.

Argh.

OH GHEESE!!!! CNN's take is PRICELESS!

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Followers of perennial presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche interrupted a campaign event for former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean on Monday before being drowned out by Dean supporters and removed from the room with the assistance of comedian Al Franken.

As Dean was addressing a crowd in Manchester, the fans of LaRouche -- who is something of an outcast in the Democratic Party for his extremist views -- began screaming that Dean is "a liar" and not a Democrat. They said the only candidates telling the truth are LaRouche and Sen. John Kerry, the apparent front-runner in the race.

The crowd began cheering "Howard Dean, Howard Dean," drowning out the LaRouche supporters as they were removed from the room.

Franken, a comedian and self-described liberal well-known for his attacks on the Bush administration and conservative-leaning media, helped carry out one of the disrupters. In the process, Franken's glasses were knocked off his face and broke in two.

Putting them back together with electrical tape, he quipped he had been "deputized" by Dean's security.

LaRouche supporters also heckled Sen. Joe Lieberman at a town hall meeting at Milly's Tavern in Manchester Monday evening.

Observers said the LaRouche crowd was forcibly removed by Lieberman supporters and Capitol Hill security staff who guard the senator.

It's a sad, sick world where Phil Hartman dies but Al Franken walks around free.

[RolandBurnam]

You missed another possibility, He is just a jackass.

[AppauledAtAppeasementConservat]

I doubt this person will file charges...he might have "an accident" like all those whitewater people. Besides it looks as if most the judges are on the DNC payroll...

[Paulus Invictus]

Frankenstein claims to be a black belt in karate and is a body builder. If true, he might have an edge over any opponent. The jerk would be classified as a deadly weapon and worth any legal attempt to separate this idiot from some of his ill-gotten gains.

[RandallFlagg]

I wonder if we have some "Expert Agitator" FReepers who would be willing to call FAT Al to try to send him over the edge.

I'd like to, but I doubt his three-to-five stations won't include the Colorado area...

[Jaded]

conservative-leaning media,

Where? Mainstream media conservative?

[Phlap]

Yes. That would be Herself.

[thesummerwind]

Franken chased Sean Hannity down the hall to his office.

Me too - (Losing respect for Hannity here).

Hannity should have decked the out-of-shape bloated liberal punk!

[JimRed]

Is there ONE Democrat who ISN'T Imploding?

Yes, there is. Zell Miller, the voice of reason, but he's retiring.

[cajungirl]

"slaps him so hard it makes his mama cry"

Hon, you have to be a southerner, right?

[macamadamia]

Franken's trying anything to get attention. Personally, I think he's mad at God and the world. He's pathetic and it speaks volumes that the left chooses him for a radio show...more pathetic.

[freekitty]

This guy is definately not ready for prime time. I saw him with Eric what's his name and Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham on C-Span. Tucker and Laura ate his lunch. It was so painfully obvious that the man is out of his element. He didn't have any facts behind him and all he could do was slam people. Eric was his usual stupid self, whining all of the time. But, Tucker and Laura were wonderful. They backed up everything they said. If you get a chance; watch. I am sure C-Span will play it again.

The Democrats have another loooooooser.

[yankeedame]

I wouldn't press charges. I'd rather just kick his ass instead.

Frankly, I'd be afraid to press charges. If there was ever a character that would end up stalking you a la` Jack Nicolson it would be Al Franken.
