Al Franken vs. Antonin Scalia....

Sort of like putting a .22 pistol up against a Cruise Missile.

You're being generous, FRiend. I thought it was more of a spitball vs. a Neutron Bomb. I don't think Herr Franken knew what hit him.

From the article:
First, Scalia lectured Franken, "Demeanor is the wrong word. You mean ethics." Then he explained, "Ethics is governed by tradition. It has never been the case where you recuse because of friendship."

Well that bout didn't take too long.

I remember in High School a government teacher explaining to everyone that a lawyer is "one of those guys who can insult you, and you don't even realize until about three days later". One of these days, Al is going to tangle with someone very bright and simultaneously in a grouchy mood in front of the nation. It's not going to be a good day for Al.
