Thanks Minnesota for sending the US Senate a clown.

Nothing that couldn’t be cured with an application of tar and feathers.

Eric Alterman looks exactly like I expect a democrat to look - a buck-toothed, pencil-necked, lily livered milquetoast wuss of a man.

This Eric is a real sicko. Franken has never been funny ~ has no sense of humor.

He may surprise us and behave in a professional manner, rather than his usual sarcastic idiotic public persona. But he will be a reliable liberal vote.
Anybody know about Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd returning to the Senate? Because I thought breaking a filibuster requires 60 votes, not just 60% of the 100 member Senate, but 60 actual affirmative votes. So if Teddy and Byrd aren’t there due to health reasons, the Dems. are down to 58, right??? Or do I miss something?

its first genuinely funny ex-comedian.Uh no he isn't... Franken was probably the most painful comedian I ever watched... and that is 5 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
America! What a country! Even a crappy comedian and failed radio broadcaster can become a Senator...

I’ve seen him in the aisle of the Fairway on Broadway talking to his wife. I would say he is as cool as Urkel and the portly guy from Office Space.

“genuinely funny ex-comedian.”
I stopped paying attention right there. Seriously, has Franken EVER been funny? I remember as a little kid watching SNL with the classic line up (Belushi, etc.). The “Franken and Davis” skits were the time to go pop popcorn or use the bathroom. He was the least funny thing about “Trading Places.” He didn’t get any funnier with Stuart Smalley, either.
The guy’s success has come solely from being a hanger-on to more talented people - SNL, the Limbaugh books, etc.

Geeze, he was only slightly funny, occasionally back in his SNL days.
He hasn’t been even remotely funny in the last ten years.

A good dose of preparation H would take care of Frankenweenie....makes my hemorrhoids go away.
