What Minnesota Voted For

One would think Al Franken would attempt to be more serious an a Senator.. especially when so many people worked hard to steal the election for him… but, apparently he thinks this is all just an SNL skit.

Sen. Al Franken is attempting to refute someone’s argument that relates to the word “abortion” not appearing in the Constitution.

Al Franken: “Are the words ‘birth control’ in the Constitution? Are you sure?”* Is his tone as off-putting to everyone else as it is to me?

The newest senator began by saying that he was surprised Sotomayor wanted to become a prosecutor from watching Perry Mason, since the prosecutor, Berger, lost every week except one. He concluded, “What was the one case in Perry Mason that Berger won?” After saying that she couldn’t remember the name of the episode or the case, Franken asked Sotomayor, “Didn’t the White House prepare you for these hearings?”

A little on the silly side for a guy who needs to show the rest of the country that Minnesota still takes its representation in Washington seriously.

He may be even more an embarrassment than Barack Obama.

    NRO doesn’t like Al Franken. Shocking. Of course, they had a lot invested in Coleman’s failed attempt to steal the election.

    If Minnesota wanted to be taken seriously they would not have elected Franken in the first place. He is awesomely unfunny, as mean as a rattlesnake, profoundly stupid, and gleeful in his eagerness to let the world know he is a moron.

    i remember hearing him interview a young man on Air America one morning, and it was an interview that would have humiliated a normal human being. Al evidently thought this guy was going to support his own BDS, so he kept tossing out leading questions—”So they never did find any WMD in Iraq, right?” and the guy would say well, yes, they actually did—not huge amounts but enough to show the manufacture of a large amount. And this went on and on, with Al being shot down at every turn—by a kid who clearly thought Al was cool and who did not want to embarrass him or argue with him, but who did not want to lie, either. And Al kept saying, to back up his BS, “And that’s in the Duelfer Report, right?” and the kid would apologetically say no, actually, the report says the exact opposite. Finally, even on the radio, you could see the hook come out, and Al reverted to “Well, you are a fine young man and I am sure your parents are very proud of you. Where do you plan to go to college?” while the kid was hustled out of the studio.

    It was painful, and every time I tuned in to Airhead America I would hear Al claiming some new content for the Duelfer Report. He would just make up some silly s*** and pronounce “It’s right there in the Duelfer Report”. If SNL had not been so determinedly Liberal, they could have done a hysterical skit with a sour-faced Franken look-alike making wilder and wilder claims and saying, after each one “It’s right there in the Duelfer Report”.

    He never understood that being a clown and being funny are two different things.

    And his violent temper tantrums are well documented. I have heard a couple that were recorded, such as one he threw on Bloggers Row at some convention.

    He is stupid, he is ignorant, he is nuts, and Minnesota deserves everything they get till they get rid of him

    Yeah, kgb, those pesky Republicans “tried to steal the election” by making sure the votes were accurately counted. Pretty inexcusable..thank God for ACORN, eh?

  4. orlando says:

    And the votes were accurately counted. So the GOP tried over and over again to somehow get around that fact, and Norm Coleman was such a sore loser, you’d think he was a wingnut B4V commenter. It was pretty pathetic, even by GOP standards.

    PS: They didn’t find WMD in Iraq. But that’s one of those pesky facts that you can’t be bothered with, especially when you’ve got a good hate going.

  5. amazona says:

    No one “tried to get around” a fact, they just tried to get TO the facts, you hubcap.

    PS. They did find WMD in Iraq. But that’s one of those pesky facts that you can’t be bothered with………….

    And orlando, you might take a little time to find out what “hate” really means, as you are clearly misusing it when you apply it to me. Only the emotionally/intellectually challenged think that identifying a defect implies an emotional reaction to it.

    Bu then, considering the source……..

  6. orlando says:

    There’s no implication of your emotional reaction; you merely provide said reaction without any prompting. Which is a pretty funny thing to do for somebody who claims to be so against “emotional” reactions.

    PS. They did find WMD in Iraq.

    Wow. You’ll believe damn near anything, won’t you? Not even George W. Bush himself will go that far out into crazytown.

  7. kmg1 says:

    amazona,

    kgb? You should grow up, little girl. Only one person tried to get the votes counted of people who admitted under oath they voted illegally, and that person wasn’t Franken. If Matt wants to throw around the charge of stealing the election, he should direct it at the right person.

  8. amazona says:

    They did not find large amounts of WMD in Iraq, enough to use in attacks, but they did find enough of modern vintage to show that biologicals and chemicals were being produced very recently prior to the invasion.

    kgb? Freudian slip…..

  9. cluster says:

    Coleman won the election and the first recount. Only after ballots were “found” in trunks, of all places, Franken won. Shocker.

    And orlando, you’re right, Saddam Hussein, never had any intent to develop WMD, nor was the yellow cake found there intended for any mal intent. In fact the Kurds up north must have died from laughing at the many jokes Saddam would love to tell.

    Now click your heels and say three times: Democrats care for me.

  10. orlando says:

    Is it your contention, cluster, that we found WMDs in Iraq?

  11. cluster says:

    We found the makings and the remnants of it. But again, that was only one of the reasons for going in. Do you remember the other ones?

    Click your heels and say three times: Democrats care about me

  12. orlando says:

    So your answer, then, is no, we did not find WMDs in Iraq?

  13. cluster says:

    orlando,

    Do you often rehash arguments 7 years old? You know, there is help for your attention deficit disorder, unfortunately you’ll be permanently stupid.

    And do you remember the other reasons to go into Iraq?

  14. orlando says:

    Ranty’s the one who brought it up. I pressed her on a very basic fact, and then you decided to leap in. And now, you can’t even make a simple admission that no, we did not find WMDs in Iraq. This, like many, many other things you have posted, does not speak highly of your grasp of simple facts. But you’re cranky and need your nap, so maybe you’ll do better after some shut-eye.

  15. cluster says:

    I wouldn’t even say an unqualified no to that question, considering we did find remnants. infratructure and know for a fact that Saddam had used them previously.

    But I understand your immature need to have a qualified no response to that answer, without it your worldview, and slavish devotion to the propaganda kind of falls apart.

    Do you realize how transparent you are?

  16. ohioorrin says:

    the invasion was all about nukes.

    there were no nukes in Iraq.

    there never was.

  17. fartotheright says:

    Yes, when Franken is done with his term as a Senator it will go into Guinness Book of World Records as the longest satire. Amazona, I live in Minneapolis, can’t help it I was born here, so it’s not my fault. Trust me Kellogg does not have all the flakes. I for one am baffled at why we have ever elected an idiot like Ventura, Wellstone an embarrassment and Franken a comic. Minnesota is a great place to live, now if we could box all the flakes and ship them out of here. Try to explain something to one of the flakes and their eyes just glaze over and they stare at you like a cow staring at a new gate.

  18. ricorun says:

    If Minnesota wanted to be taken seriously they would not have elected Franken in the first place.

    That “if” doesn’t seem warranted. Lol! I haven’t been there very often, but they do seem like a playful state.

    OT, but I’m a devotee of spicy food. Moving to Texas was an epiphany in that regard. But the spiciest food I ever had in a restaurant was in St. Paul, of all places. The name of the joint escapes me, but it was Sri Lankan (you don’t find Sri Lankan cuisine everywhere, lol!). And boy, was it hot! It put the most extreme TexMex to shame. I was very surprised. The place was packed, too, so apparently Minnesotans ain’t wussies with delicate intestines.

  19. fartotheright says:

    rico, I forget which national magazine put Minneapolis as the most fun city in the US. I can see why, all the activities we have here, besides the Mall of America. I have family in Tucson and I have eaten the “hot” Mexican food there without flinching and I am a full blooded Scandinavian. Scandinavian are supposed to like bland food..
