...what's the point of going if you're going to depress morale?

Well, we're here talking about it, so it's a story.

These once "semi-popular" hollywood losers simply stoop to new lows just to get themselves back into the media...good or bad press isn't the point. It's press.

The desparation of being unemployed AND unemployable may be weighng heavy on him.

It must be some kind of mental illness.

Again, this is a vanity. No source, just a Major coming back to work fuming after eating chow and me relating the story. He would have no reason to make it up.

But believe it or not as you wish.

No source. Hence the vanity. From the Major's mouth to my ears to my fingertips to your eyes.

Tonight Al Franken ate chow in the Camp Victory DFAC (dining facility) and sat down with the troops.

Tonight, do you mean this night, night of December 19,2006?

He came back from chow and said "I just had a run in with Al Franken at chow. He told me we were losing the war." and then we all had him flesh it out with what you see here. This is what Major Patience related to us after eating at the same table as Al and his 'people'.

I believe you...and the Major...because I have heard Franken and he has NO control over his MOUTH.

You can ask anyone at Fox News..he has almost been hit by a couple of the reporters there.

He is a classless human being...so I don't doubt it.

Do you know if anyone did get video or audio..not for proof...but so we can see..and maybe get it to Fox News??

Anonymously, of course.

Major Patience works with me, went to chow and sat at a table with Al and his escorts. Al and his civilian table mates were having a discussion, then Major Patience asked his question and the result was the anti-war statements I posted.

If it's true...which probably is...those guys need to watch their backs.

Sorry, Sailor; but without a link/source for this story I will have take it with a grain of salt.
Any commander worth his weight in salt would have had Franken escorted off the base if Franken so much as uttered a syllable negative toward the troops.

"And he made it back ALIVE? "

That was my first thought.

Whenever Al gets on stage the troops should chant "Show us your tits!" until he stalks off.

I didnt realized Franken was touring with the USo. How did ever get that gig!!??!! i know I wouldnt hire him to bring up the moral of anyone.

We need to contact someone in the USO and ask a few questions about this. post-haste.

Where are those USO phone numbers and e-mail links??

Thanks. I guess if his handlers didn't make a stink about it, it's just Franken making an ass of himself. Give him enough rope. Then again, maybe it's what they want in oofda Minnesota?
