I'm not exactly why this country is so hell bent on committing suicide.

I guess if we're going to have Barney Frank in (apparently) for life, then we might as well throw in Bozo the clown as well.

How many of those votes (the 2.3 million total) were dead people, duplicates or Acorn recruits? This election result is about as crooked as a roller coaster.

Franken wins in an election as phony as the one in Iran with ACORN ginning up enough ballots to give him the win.

Pathetic that such a buffoon, such a vulgarian, such a cad has been elected to the U.S. Senate. The state is going to get the representation from him it so richly deserves. I hope some millionaire in that state pays to put up hundreds of billboards with that picture of him in diapers to remind people every day what they’ve got.
