Biden: Al Franken is a 'leading legal scholar' byJoel Gehrke Commentary Staff Writer Share on email Share on print Follow on Twitter:
Vice President Joe Biden described former Saturday Night Live comedian, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., as a "leading legal scholar," presumably in the Senate, today.
"He has been one of the leading legal scholars," Biden said of Franken today, according to the pool report. He also said that Franken "is deadly serious" as a senator. He made the comments while recalling concerns that then-candidate Franken could not be taken seriously as a Senate candidate given his SNL work.
Franken's comedic spirit got him in trouble on Washington. "This isn't Saturday Night Live, Al," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had to remind the freshman senator after Franken made faces while McConnell spoke during the Supreme Court nomination process for Elena Kagan.
Kagan is now regarded as an able defender of Obamacare, which could be struck after oral arguments last month seemed to indicate that five of the nine justices regard it as unconstitutional.
Considering how many of the laws are complete jokes, I’m not surprised. They even fit Franken well - even though they are jokes they are annoying and unfunny.
If he’s so smart, maybe he can tell all of us where it
s legal for felons to vote?
Actually a bucket of warm spit is arguably worth more than and bucket full of Bidens. The warm spit could be used to put out a small fire. I have yet to find a use for Biden other than as the class clown.
Did Biden have a stroke is is he smoking crack? To call Franken a legal scholar is patently ridiculous. What did Franken ever do that demonstrates legal scholarship?
