Folks, I naturally think that all politicians talk to much - and don't listen enough.
But having said that, the Senate is one of the few places where a person can blat on and on and has the right to do so.
Extending time to speak is a matter of courtesy extended to both parties by both parties.
I think Weird All Franken was more than a little of out line here.
Comments or opinions - anyone?

I sincerely think there’s something off about Franken. A fellow Freeper once assured me that, knowing him in real life, he’s actually quite a nice person. Ben Stein also adores the guy. But I frankly don’t see it. He strikes me as a horse’s ass.
Plus, he seems to have recently acquired James Traficant’s hairpiece. Really, now. What the hell.

The esteemed commie pig embarrassment from MN.... God help or moreso forgive our nation and the state of MN (my state, sorry to say) for electing this buffoon clown as a senator. Anyone who voted for this pig in MN deserves to be horse-whipped again & again. Frankenboofus is a pig and so is anyone who voted for me. I hope & pray that someone really pushes this lunatic to the point where this deranged liberal would throw some punches and then get expelled from the Senate (I’m dreaming I know) for lewd or violent behavior... maybe even a felony assult conviction if we’re lucky!!!

They just showed the clip on FoxNews. McCain was on after that exchange, and said in 20 years, he's never seen someone refused. Asked what has happened to this body (Senate)?
It must be those rude GOP guys...

Did I miss something here?
Why is Al Franken, a Junior (Freshman—at that) Senator presiding over the Senate?
To: MplsSteve
Having Franken around is a quick way to lower the level of civility.

My opinion? What Joe Lieberman DIDN’T say after “OK” is what says it all. I took it as “OK, but the first chance I get to screw you publicly I’m gonna do it, and it won’t be the last.”

This may be historic - first time a “Senator” whose winning vote margin was found in the trunk of a car after the election was over has presided over the Senate. Please correct me if I’m wrong about this.
