Franken Is an Idiot, Angry O'Reilly Says

In a related story: noted newscaster O'Reilly also observed that "fire is hot"; "water is wet"; and that "Helen Keller was rather nearsighted." :)

The apogee of Al Franken's career in comedy was his role as "Baggage Handler #1" in Trading Places.

All else is epilogue.

It is said that it never pays to get into a fight with a newspaper, which buys paper by the ton and ink by the gallon. Franken is about to learn that it is even dumber to get into a fight with a TV superstar who's on the tube almost every night and has a gigantic audience.

Are they kidding? It's publicity, baby! Every author wants it, and Franken is getting more than he ever dreamed of.

[sam_paine]

But the corollary to "don't pick a fight with someone that buys ink by the barrel," is "all publicity is good."

Franken pulled O'Reilly's primary chain.....his ego. Honestly, what kind of idiots sat in the audience of these two bickering?????

[sam_paine]

You beat me by seconds, dang nabbit.

One thing you DON'T do is call Bill a liar. I may not always agree with the guy, but what I respect about him is that he's honest.

Franken made a big mistake here.

[So Cal Rocket]

Yup...it's part of a carefully crafted series of events to get Franken's name into the limelight... he's going to be the "headliner" on the new liberal talk radio network...

Mark my words.

Franken is a desperate little man who's best claim to fame was as the Amtrac drunk/gorilla sitter on Trading Places.

Al's about a year away from throwing pies at celebrities to try to get some airtime.

This should be FUN to watch, IDIOTS like Franken ARE blinded by their ideology, he's an easy target, go get him Bill!!!LOL

[My2Cents]

Franken knows his liars.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

They are both idiots.

[bray]

Bill O' is as much a Conservative as Al Franken is a Comedian!

Pray for GW and the Truth

[My2Cents]

Yeah, I think Al Franken has just replaced George Clooney at the top of the O'Reilly's *shiite* list.

[muleskinner]

A typical Saturday Night Live show used to be pretty funny...then they'd run Franken's skit.

He sucked at that too.

Monkey? I'm a gorilla you stupid clown!
One of the funniest exchanges in the whole movie. Definately Franken at his best.

[JoeSchem]

"Bill, this isn't your show," Franken shot back. He said it was time for liberals "to stop taking it" and to attack conservatives for their alleged lack of civility.

Is Franken saying it's his show, and thereby he's allowed to talk 20 minutes over? The Entitlement Mentality looms large.

[skeeter]

Yup...it's part of a carefully crafted series of events to get Franken's name into the limelight... he's going to be the "headliner" on the new liberal talk radio network...

Am I the only one who's happy to have as many people as possible associating Al Franken with the Left?
