~ EXCERPT ~
Democrat Al Franken has started using the title “Senator-elect,” despite the fact that his contest with Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) has not yet been decided.
A Minnesota court is currently hearing Coleman’s challenge to the recount.
A press release sent out by his staff Monday announcing a series of town halls with local mayors reads: “Sen.-elect Franken held the first in a series of roundtable discussions with Minnesota Mayors today in St. Paul. Franken and metro-area mayors discussed the economic realities facing their cities, budget cuts, President Obama's measures for economic stimulus, and how to grow Minnesota’s economy.”
The Democratic mayor of St. Paul is also quoted in the release referring to Franken as the victor.

Hey Al, you're not good enough; you're not smart enough; and no sensible person would like you.

Does he have a logo with “The Office of the Senator Elect” on it like another ODumbo we know?

To say you received a vote that you did not, is a lie.
To say you won an election that you did not, is a lie.
Al fRANKen is a lying liar.

...and if you clap really, REALLY hard, Al baby, you can bring Tinkerbell back to life too!!!!
Keep dreamin’! If nothing else, Norm will keep the courts busy with this meass for the entire 2 year senate term and keep you out of the Capitol building the entire time! But it’s okay for you to dress up at home and pretend to be a senator—maybe someday when you grown up your dreams will come true!!!

I seem to recall one of Franken’s roundtables during the campaign had a whopping attendance of one person.
