I am at a loss (although I've tried) to explain how this state could elect an assclown (personally, politically and professionally) to the US Senate.
As I read the headline for this article, I winced at the words "Senator Al Franken". I know I'll wince more at hearing the words "Senator Al Franken."
His election, regardless of whether a person thinks was stolen or not, was a travesty - given Franken's past record of classless humor and political bombast.
There's no doubt Franken will try the Hillary Clinton method - working hard and keeping his mouth closed. The question is whether he's really capable of doing that or not.
The jury remains out on that. Given his past anger mgmt issues, I'm inclined to think not. Time will tell, I guess.
Comments or opiniions - anyone?

Franken = Caligula’s horse
Shame on Mn
He can be as crazy and vicious as he wants to be.
In this crew, he really won’t stand out.
Let's see, the rest of the Senate began at the beginning of the term. What else has Franken had to do, really, except 'catch his breath,' and meet with the lawyers in charge of stealing the election?
“Goodbye to the class clown” and “Hello to the village idiot”.
Did you hear him reading a statement a few hours ago? If my child read and sounded like he did he’d be in a remedial reading class.
I agree with that 100 per cent
Coleman won by 752 votes.
The ACORN Sec of State agreed to the recount,
and EVERY decision in the recount process went in Franken’s favor.
Stolen election, plain and simple.
Stalin: “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”
Franken being elected to the Senate is a glaring example of what is wrong with this country. There is no way that jack@ss should have even been electable.
If he follows the Hillary model he will get nothing done. This might be a good thing.
Can’t do any worse than Illinois with Little Dick “Gulag” Turban and Roland “Rolly the Boo” Burris. The shame can go around plenty...
That asshat is too old to change. He is what he is.
Franken will never be taken seriously.
Never.
He has a goofy background.
He is a pervert.
He is an extreme leftist.
He is a tax cheat.
His temper will come out.
He was clearly elected for the sole purpose of pissing off conservatives. I, for one, will not give the guy a break or the benefit of the doubt.
Its hard to fathom how the state can vote for one of the worst senators (Franken) and one of the best congressman (Bachman). There must be a lot of common sense outside the metro area and a total lack of it inside the metro area.
I knew I didn’t like Norman Ornstien, now that I know he’s a “longtime friend” of franken, I know why.
..just another worthless perversion of our system by the hyphenated group, Deadbeat-Americans electing one of their own.
It will only cause more grief and misery to millions of regular Americans...
What a jerk this guy is...how embarrassing for Minnesota.
You're not alone.
My state elected a musclebound moron as governor and Barbara Boxer as senator. Oh, and Pelosi too.
Look for the Franken jokes to start flowing.
