Thanks Minnesota for sending the US Senate a clown.

[reg45]

Nothing that couldn’t be cured with an application of tar and feathers.

[domenad]

Eric Alterman looks exactly like I expect a democrat to look - a buck-toothed, pencil-necked, lily livered milquetoast wuss of a man.

[Da Coyote]

Sorta like framing a t**d - er - an Obama and putting it in your living room..

Oh well, the senate is like that already.

"How Cool Is Franken?"

[Dilbert San Diego]

He may surprise us and behave in a professional manner, rather than his usual sarcastic idiotic public persona. But he will be a reliable liberal vote.

Anybody know about Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd returning to the Senate? Because I thought breaking a filibuster requires 60 votes, not just 60% of the 100 member Senate, but 60 actual affirmative votes. So if Teddy and Byrd aren’t there due to health reasons, the Dems. are down to 58, right??? Or do I miss something?

[John123]

its first genuinely funny ex-comedian.

Uh no he isn't... Franken was probably the most painful comedian I ever watched... and that is 5 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

America! What a country! Even a crappy comedian and failed radio broadcaster can become a Senator...

[Clemenza]

I’ve seen him in the aisle of the Fairway on Broadway talking to his wife. I would say he is as cool as Urkel and the portly guy from Office Space.

[SandWMan]

Al Franken is funny?

[EGPWS]

How Cool Is Franken?

How cold is it in Minnesota?

That's the only relevant cause for Franken cool.

[JimSEA]

given the Republicans’ willingness to filibuster anything and everything they don’t like

Whoa. Did I just intrude on an alternate reality. I guess I missed something.

[Caipirabob]

Not quite as cool as this guy, just uglier...

"Once more...the Sith shall rule the galaxy..."

[DemforBush]

“genuinely funny ex-comedian.”

I stopped paying attention right there. Seriously, has Franken EVER been funny? I remember as a little kid watching SNL with the classic line up (Belushi, etc.). The “Franken and Davis” skits were the time to go pop popcorn or use the bathroom. He was the least funny thing about “Trading Places.” He didn’t get any funnier with Stuart Smalley, either.

The guy’s success has come solely from being a hanger-on to more talented people - SNL, the Limbaugh books, etc.

[~Vor~]

Franken is a class act...

[LegendHasIt]

Geeze, he was only slightly funny, occasionally back in his SNL days.

He hasn’t been even remotely funny in the last ten years.

[Snurple]

A good dose of preparation H would take care of Frankenweenie....makes my hemorrhoids go away.

[Sudetenland]

When...EVER...has Franken been funny? I’ve never seen anything he’s done that even remotely amused me. The man is major boring. Like many “comedians” he is his own biggest fan. There are some really hilarious Liberal comedians, but he ain’t one of them...never has been.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Thanks Minnesota for sending the US Senate an EVIL clown.

WTF???!!!

[Daffynition]

I give him 48 hours and he’ll have foot in mouth disease.

[EGPWS]

And with a filibuster-proof 60 votes in the Senate—including the switched-parties-for-personal-political-survival Arlen Specter, now Obama doesn’t have to play “Mr. Nice Guy” with the GOP.

Batten the hatches, stock food and water, and prepare for the worst.

The nasties are just around the corner compared to our demised presently.
