I didn't SEE it...or know about it until tonight..

He said that Brit said that living in California was more dangerous for Americans, than living in Iraq...

because there were appro. 6.3 deaths per day..(can't remember the exact number)...to 1.3 deaths of Americans in Iraq...

I guess he was questioned about how that analogy doesn't hold up because of the difference in number of Cali citizens compared to American troops in Iraq...

Supposedly, Brit replied that perhaps the analogy wasn't exact, but it was indicative of something...

I guess Franken got upset by that, and went off...cursing, using the "F" word about Brit...telling him he should apologize to the families of the troops, for being so cavalier about their deaths,...and possible deaths...

Then, he said it was okay...because he isn't the Vice President cursing on the Senate floor....???? Talk about a non-sequitor.

I think Timmy just brought it up....so he could get Brit's name out there in a negative way...which surely WORKED.
