Great news, conservatives! Fresh from piloting Air America into a full-throttle collision into the ratings cellar floor, Al Franken is ready to become Minnesota’s next U.S. senator.
Finally! A liberal who doesn’t wear the mask the rest of the Washington Democrats hide behind. Franken epitomizes the hard-working wing of his base inspired by the likes of Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan and most recently, anti-Catholic hyperblogger Amanda Marcotte.
At last, we have Al “Republican are shameless d**ks” Franken -- a Democrat who won’t goosestep to Rahm Emanuel’s finer talking points or fancy slogans.
As Minnesota’s more famous son, Hubert Horatio Humphrey, might have said, “We’re pleased as punch that Al is running for senate.”
HUMAN EVENTS is thrilled to be among the first to endorse him for the Democrat nomination to become the next U.S. senator from Minnesota. We do so with malice aforethought out of the sheer pleasure we’d get out of watching Hillary Clinton squirm out of campaign appearances with him. And we will be the first to celebrate his loss. We cannot imagine the good people of Minnesota inflicting this classless bully on the rest of us.
After all, this is the man who said this of his worthy opponent: “Minnesota Republican Norman Coleman, is one of the administration's leading butt boys.”
What elegance, what wit! We can’t wait for his campaign.
Think about it: Franken is absolutely incapable of containing his revulsion for anyone with an "R" behind their name. Unlike the Hillary Clintons and Harry Reids of the party who manage to fake enough niceties to keep the swing voters around, Franken doesn’t have a chance pretending all the horrible things he said about half the country were just “jokes.”
Would someone please line Franken up to do a variety show Republican National Convention

It would be awesome for this pompous ass to be the Rodent nominee!
What's with MN male politicians? Do you have to undergo a partial sex change operation to qualify? Just saying even the R guy Coleman is a swishy male. And the guy who died in the plane crash? Paul what's his name? I can't say anything bad of the dead so I'll stop.
Franken, Humphrey, Coleman, Wellstone, these guys are all leaking estrogen.

Al, you're not good enough, you're not smart enough, and, doggone it, people just don't like you.
I have a friend in MN that I've been ribbing about this Franken stuff - he goes ballistic every time it's brought up!
The funny thing is if he gets his party's endorsement he will probably win.
Believe me, being a MN native, it's a complete mystery to me why some of America's most 'manly men' even consider these pansy-style pole-vaulters for leadership position.
From my observations, it's just that they're the progeny of died-in-the-wool Farmer's democrats. They don't even examine the principles and values which the the Repubs stand on and simply vote the way their parents did. They also watch too much of the MSM, being winter-locked in their houses for a good 5-6 months.
Just my observations, of course.
If it hadn't been a good friend of mine, I would've been a goose-stepping along with these idiots. Thank God, I had my eyes opened.

Wow :))) She looks like an average girl in Slovakia..
Lovely..
A comedy writer in the Senate? Maybe this is what Will Rogers had in mind:
"And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!"
Good stuff!
I might care more if his opponent WASN'T Norm Coleman, the Lincoln Chaffeee of the tundra.
“Minnesota Republican Norman Coleman, is one of the administration's leading butt boys.”
Homophobe!
I just about spit soda on my monitor from laughing so hard. I had forgotten all about that bit.
Hear hear! Not guilty! The Ann Coulter rule should apply for Amanda Carpenter!
Having lived in Minnesota there are unfortunately some DFL kooks who will take Franken seriously. Most of these are connected with one of several very liberal colleges and universities (the U of MN in St.Paul, MaCalaster College, and Carlton College where ultra liberal Senator Paul Wellstone taught),are social activists, peaceniks or pacifists or just plain kooks. Outstate Minnesota, i.e. outside the Twin Cities metro area, will not support Franken. I doubt even my Bush hating Minnesota mother-in-law would vote for him.
Amanda Carpenter is terrific. She has a book out about Hillary Clinton as well, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy's Dossier on Hillary Clinton.
Also, I heard Norm Coleman at CPAC last year (or the year before?) and he was great on the UN Oil for Food scandal-- he's one of the few guys to really go after the UN and Kofi Annan on the issue.
I will definitely be sending Norm Coleman a campaign contribution. Franken is an idiot.
