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?
Sadly I am soon to move to northern Minnesota and will have dumb and dumber for my Senators. Franken will proceed to be be an Obama lapdog and will push legislation most Minnesotans will find odious. His anti-gun positions will not play well in most of Minnesota and he may be the key vote to give us economy killing cap and trade. I would be willing to bet he will NOT be re-elected unless ACORN is able to stuff ballot boxes better than Hugo Chavez.

Will Rogers said that Congress was far funnier than he was. Except that every time they made a joke, it was a law. And every time they made a law, it was a joke.
Is there a mechanism in Minnesota to recall or remove Senators?
Do you think there my be enough “buyer’s remorse” or anger over the recount to recall (insert derogatory adjective here) Franken?
Wincing more or less than when you hear the words "President Barack Hussein Obama"?
“Fellow bums...er, Senators....”
MN also elected Jesse Ventura and Paul “Red” Wellstone. It can’t bother ‘em too much to be represented in the Senate by a Clown.
Honestly, I just watched his acceptance speech here..

Even though he is loony toons, he sounds just like every other politician, same old BS and platitudes. What a said day for Americans.
Yes, by all means Al F, don’t be yourself, ‘cause that’ll NEVER work.
He will always be the 'Senator-Select'.
A disgrace to the State of Minnesota and an abomination to the United States Senate.
One wonders if the election were held today, whther the outcome would be the same. I think not. They would not add this individual to the mix in light of all that has transpired since the election.
