Fox vs. Franken (Franken slammed very nicely, thank you very much!)

I thought for a moment I was a Fox commentator

From his so-called books Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot, and his new one, to this comment...all he does is name call & demean. SOP of the left.

He is a washed up, once was kinda funny, HAS BEEN who nobody listens to.

[marvlus]

Al Franken is a grasshopper.

[Miss Marple]

I didn't know he was a speechwriter for Gore in the 2000 campaign.

Somehow, it all fits, doesn't it?

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I didn't know he was a speechwriter for Gore in the 2000 campaign.

I thought Algore's speechwriter was Baron Munchausen. ;^)

I thought Algore's speechwriter was Baron Munchausen

I thought is was the brothers Grimm.

[Mr. Bird]

I really think the best thing to do with Franken is ignore him. The author notes that the publicity he's getting is resulting in sales. We should let him rant in a vacuum...

[Hatteras]

The wife's uncle is a devout liberal and one day he told me he was going to get me Al Franken's 'Rush' book. I told him not to bother that I'd probably just toss it in the fireplace.

Well, we had a Bowl Games get together one New Years Day and he showed up. We were all watching the game on TV with a nice roaring fire going in the fireplace and Uncle Rich came out with a sh*t eating grin and handed me a wrapped present and said, "Merry Christmas!"

I politely said, "Oh, Uncle Rich, you shouldn't have..." I then unwrapped it, saving the nice wrapping paper and bow, passed it around so everyone could see (10 people, 7 moans of disgust, mind you), reached into my pocket and handed him $12.00 and promptly tossed the book into the fire.

Alas, the wife didn't speak to me for yet another week. But, hey, 'Quiet time' is kinda nice.

I'm glad FOX is taking on this snot-nosed twit. He can't make news or money without trying to attach himself to the success of others. If left unchecked, I suspect his next book titles will be:

Ann Coulter Is A Tall Skinny Slut
George Bush is a Dumb Texas Doofus
Jesus Never Did Anything For Me
Why I Hate Walmart
Condi Rice Is Racist
Bob Hope Was A Womanizing Cad

[Puppage]

LOL. Annie, ya made me laugh...again. Unfortunately, there's some real truth to your post.

[Bluntpoint]

Yeah, we have Franklin right were he wants us!

[Damocles]

His 1994 movie “When a Man Loves A Woman”...

Actually that was a pretty good movie. Happens to be one of my wife's favorites. I had no idea Franken wrote the thing...

[Jalapeno]

Unfortunately, he now is going to sell more copies of his book because of this suit.

[ChadGore]

Ann Coulter Is A Tall Skinny Slut
George Bush is a Dumb Texas Doofus
Jesus Never Did Anything For Me
Why I Hate Walmart
Condi Rice Is Racist
Bob Hope Was A Womanizing Cad

Together with the books:

Bill Clinton is honest.
Hillary is nice.
Carville is smart.

[Bluntpoint]

Franken is like a gay march, no one would show up if the people most offended would just ignore it.

Sheesh! You gave him $12.00??? You shouldn't have, since you gave him fair warning!

Good job, otherwise, though...

[11B3]

Gotta love that!

[anniegetyourgun]

Great story, hat! You go...

[Bluntpoint]

The liberal uncle spent the next 6 months telling any one who would listen, that he attended a conservative Superbowl party and book burning.

Great story! My only question: WHY did you give Uncle Rich $12.00?
