Via the Hill:

McConnell grew increasingly angry as Franken made fun of him before a crowded public gallery and Senate aides lining the chamber walls. Senate aides said they were shocked that Franken would flout the decorum of the chamber during such a solemn occasion.

After McConnell finished his remarks, he walked up to the dais and rebuked him.

“This is not ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al,” McConnell said, making reference to Franken’s career as a writer and actor on NBC’s long-running comedy show, according to a witness who overheard the exchange.

A spokeswoman for Franken did not immediately return requests for comment.

He’s never had more talent or originality than a middle-school misfit. The class clown continues to be rewarded for his behavior.....

Can’t wait for someone to punch him out.

Oh wait!

That would mean that DC is populated with actual men!

You have to admit, that was a pretty good rebuke.
