You have been found guilty by association and for the audacity to question true liberal authority.
His adulation of Theodore Sorensen is misplaced. Sorensen didn't save the world, Kennedy did. Sorensen was a hack who came up with good speech lines, enough of them to keep him in good stead as one of Jack and Bobby's paid errand boys. People only listen to him for the same reason they listen to that washed up old has-been Arthur Schlesinger: he was associated with Prince John of Camelot, so it rubs off.
The rest of this is standard Bush and Conservative bashing, and really contains very little argument to write home about. If this is actually Franken, I'm not surprised. Apparently, the acme of his skill is demonstrated by a surprising tendency to yell "F*#k You, Wolfowitz!" at Paul Wolfowitz at Washington gatherings.
Which just goes to show you that even swine are attracted to pearls.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
