Senator Franken

[fixin02]

Preliminary reports on election night November 4 had Coleman ahead by over 700 votes. After the recount, Franken was ahead by 225....

Cheater. Faker. I hope you get what you deserve...because you're evil and stupid enough, you're pretentious enough, and doggone-it, you're wacked out of your mind.

[JonDavidson]

Unfortunately, there's only one Al Franken, and over 100 bought and paid for Republican AND Democratic Senators! I can only imagine his expression as he watches the robots cast their votes exactly as their corporate masters dictate, with phony debate and phony speeches, written by corporations.

Nice video, though; very funny at the end!

[seafury]

Seriously, you support a comedian as a United States Senator, to craft legislation and enact policy that affects the entire country?

Bizarre.

[larstait]

a comedian with profound knowledge and understanding of american history and especially politics. read a book or two of his, you dickfucklet

[memama2]

..er "Health"...lol!!!!!!

[memama2]

and GOOGLE = Kathleen Manning Hall.......and then look up the YouTube with the FAKE McDoctor that showed up "to support Obama Death Care"......lol!

[memama2]

..an entire state = of lying cheaters; who ever helped this idiot get into office. Everyone discussed that there were more votes than voters in many countys. That proves the left is as immoral and evil as they could possibly be. No one with any morals or mind is for this goob. Pathetic to see that CHEATING is what it took to gain another seat. God Bless the REAL SENATOR who got cheated out of his office.

[gloconti]

GO FRANKEN!!!

[memama2]

....liying liars and the loons who elected them (birds of a feather stuff ballot boxes together).....go to YouTube video:......little girl who saw MEAN SIGNS at Obama Town Hall PLANTED............lie yer way in = get the BOOT on the way OUT....the dumb dims do not realize they have already SEALED their McFate = "Lying By Ommision"........not gonna work *ting*

[smsteve888]

GO FRANKEN!!!

[memama2]

when ACORN moved into Washington State they cheated . Now Van Jones "cheated" ( his liberal loony crackpot lies) his way out of a job! And then there is = Al. He cheated along with everyone working those voting boths or counting ballots or sending in dead peoples ballots and felons ballots & from Storage Units mail systems.....its all there. No matter what Al does or says = CHEATING was what put him in office. You can NEVER get away from that SECRET! Never. So he's just powdered toast & a LIAR ~

[smsteve888]

okayyyy. I'm not even going to respond to this EXCEPT for this; If there is such obvious election fraud, why doesn't the mainstream of your party point it out? Why is it only fringe nutcases like you? Honestly, if it were true, that would be a good election winner for conservatives. I could continue this and keep saying that's bull, but I have better things to do with my time.

[johnnyu278]

I never did like his comedy but I'm sure the dems will love this idiot.

[calmaciurma]

At least he got a Phd from Harvard. What did that other bum accomplish? With all the money Daddy gave for him to go to Yale, he's still illiterate. Give respect where respect is due.

[uglybrothers]

awesome.

[logansGT]

What's the big deal? Is one more comedian in Washington gonna make that much of a difference?

[mediacritic]

Sounds like lots of posters here listen to some Big Fat Idiot's radio show. Sheep.

Congrats Al! Carry on for Wellstone! (Please don't get corrupt and screw us).

[Crimble67]

Al Frankenstein goes to Washington because...He's good enough, he's smart enough and dog gone it, the Democrats stole the election for him!!!!

[mediacritic]

Bullshit. He won. Grow up.

[smsteve888]

yes, the democrats stole the election by VOTING FOR HIM! OMG! Its a conspiracy! Democrats are organizing and voting for other Democrats!

[OolTube02]

@smsteve888 Well, the real scandal is that Democrats are allowed to vote in the first place. Or at least for their people.

In Soviet Russia party votes for you...

[cornbutter100]

Why did people in Minnesota vote for this creep? Now the whole country is stuck with him.

[OcultOprah]

cheater ....cheater......liar .......liar..................~ ACORN~ & cheating DIMS stuffed the ballot boxes with MORE VOTES THAN PEOPLE THAN LIVE IN THE COUNTY!...........you cannot not help but wonder how such cons & liars are allowed to RUN THESE FRAUD ELECTIONS....but then again its the godless & shameless who listen to this dunce..........now they CHEATED him into office.........drones of Omama + frankCON=American DESTROYED.........bye bye my money & YOURS the Dims WILL STEAL IT ALL! byebye

[smsteve888]

Wow, I did not know there were only 100,000,000 people in this country. Two words: PROVE IT. Who are your sources. God! you're embarrassing even Republicans. HE WON! GET OVER IT! IT IS OUR TURN. We'll see if America is going to be destroyed and when obama gets out of office and everything's much better under a democratic administration I WILL LAUGH AT YOU AND ALL THE FRINGE LIKE YOU.

[yourstruleyanonymous]

I believe that man is disturbed and more or less crazy... Because [other than the fact that he really "dislikes" Obama for reasons that make him ignorant] I had no idea what he was talking about, but then again he probably didn't either with all those spelling mistakes and whatever else it was that he was doing.

[smsteve888]

he knows all the words to say and throws them together in a random order. I just can't tolerate people like him. If someone's conservative, fine, I have a difference of opinion. But when someone is on the insane "obama's gonna come to your house at night and rape your kids and its all a conspiracy because a community service group has plans to kill you and destroy christianity" fringe, I have 0 respect for them. Period.

[SenatorDianeJewswine]

another jew in the senate. swell.

[smsteve888]

another anti Semite the world doesn't need. swell

[RecptBookpr]

Stop thinking of the Dems as merely a political party, because it is much more. Theyre not just the party of slavery, segregation, secularism & sedition. Not just the party of Boss Tweed, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II. Rather, think of the Dem Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

[FKASG9SSM]

be a blast watching o'really get all riled up, same with shame hannitard, who tells one obvious lie per hour on every radio and tv episode

congratulations senator franken

[mccainisthrough]

Great job Lee!

[mrspeel7]

I've read Senator Franken's books. He does his research, he knows the issues, he is well-informed and thoughtful. He is qualified to be a senator.

Don't let his past fame as an actor get in the way. Remember Reagan and Schwarzenegger?

[newBelGum]

Another clown in the circus at the white house!!

[spliffsperlunk]

Franken failed at being a comedian he'll fail at this.

[upabittoolate]

he was actually quite successful as a comedic writer. fucktard.

[spliffsperlunk]

As a comedian he was lackluster at best being only remembered for his feminine stewart smalley character on SNL.

Your cant dispute this so you might as well do the world a favor and hang yourself in your closet .

[upabittoolate]

hmm as a comedic writer he won 3 emmies after being nominated for 7. he was associated with snl for almost 20yrs. his satire books hit #1 thrice. harvard granted him a fellowship at it's school of gov't.

dispute THAT. idiot.

[upabittoolate]

don't get me wrong, the actors are what make or break a skit. but denying the writing on the early snl series is foolish. it's 1 thing to dislike franken for his politics. but calling him unsuccessful as a writer is foolish because the evidence points to the opposite conclusion.

you can't dispute this so you might as well do the world a favor & do some fucking research before you post comments. fucktard.

[spliffsperlunk]

Where did I comment on his writing ability?, I clearly stated that he was a terrible comedian your reading comprehension is attrocious, maybe you should read the posts you are responding to shit for brains.

Its ironic that he is only able to write stuff that he cant do himself I'm sure this will carry over well to his idiotic constituents

who voted for him.

Before you post read what you are responding to , it will help keep you from exposing what a dip shit you are .

[upabittoolate]

moron, a comedian isn't limited to being a stand-up comic. a comedian is 1 who entertains an audience by means of making them laugh. franken was obviously successful & i showed you how.

there's nothing wrong with my comprehension at all. there's something wrong with your narrow outlook.

[spliffsperlunk]

Holy shit ! so now people who write are comedians too, By your definition people who write would also be labeled actors as well? LOL please try to stay on topic dumbass, al franken has and always will suck as a comedian just as you always suck at interpreting the written word.

Time to hang yourself now fuckface.

[upabittoolate]

YES, comedic writers are considered comedians. use a dictionary you idiot.

[spliffsperlunk]

Sorry bobo but al franken failed at being a comedian, you seem to be the only one here who doesnt think so but its apparent that that is only because of your and his political affiliation.

[upabittoolate]

mate, a comedian is not limited to stand up performance. there's too many mediums of comedy for you to make that conclusion. there was a time when columbus was the only one who thought the world was round. i'm glad he didn't use your reasoning. once upon a time, we thought the universe was composed of dirt, fire, water & wood. again, we're a tad more advanced now. thank goodness.

franken was a very successful comedian. but i guess you prefer sinbad & carrottop as metrics for "success"

[upabittoolate]

nice try though. as usual, conservatives have no concept of the big picture. had you said "stand-up comic" or "comedic actor" you might have had a case.

as far as what he's written, he IS doing it himself. he just got certified to do so. shit for brains.

in the future don't run straight to ad hominem attacks. research, reasoning & rhetoric will serve you better than your own, uninformed opinion.

pwned.

[spliffsperlunk]

A comedian is a performer, and as a comedic performer al franken simply sucks period.

You should quit whining like a baby and pull your empty head out of his ass.

[upabittoolate]

no, a comedian is defined as someone whose means of entertaining an audience is comedy. that's not isolated to stand up you moron.

you could have looked it up in a dictionary. but instead, you let your spite do all the talking. that's why you're looking foolish now.

[spliffsperlunk]

Like i said al franken is a terrible comedian because he is unable to entertain, as a comedian he outright sucks, the people on here who disagree is you , quit riding his tip.

[upabittoolate]

like i said, he was a very successful comedian. like most morons who can't debate, you're trying to move the goalposts. i don't care about "people on here". they are more concerned with his politics than his work. that's the problem with zealots, they've no concept of substance & quality.

you don't have thoughts of your own so you have to reference "people on here" (whatever the fuck that means).

he was a successful comedian. you're too busy misunderstanding the term to know that.

[spliffsperlunk]

His comedic highlight was the stewart smalley parts he did on SNL, if thats his best in a 20 year career he quite simply fails at being a good comedian.

Dont get butthurt just accept it.

[upabittoolate]

that would all make sense if you were right. but he's got emmies under his belt & bestsellers that point to another conclusion.

ps, his career has been closer to 30yrs. idiot.

[spliffsperlunk]

Hid political writings have nothing to do with comedy or with the fact that he fails as a comedian, you dont think hes funny wither you are going down on him solely due to political reasons.

[upabittoolate]

his writing is called political humor. i guess your idea of comedy is sam kennison screaming, dane cook stealing jokes or carlos (ned) mencia pretending to be a beaner. that's fine. but don't think that is the only measure of artistic success among comedians. at the same time, don't parse the language either. whether or not i think he's funny is irrelevant. what IS relevant is his success; as that was your premise. i've shown you the flaw & you've flat out denied it. pathetic

[spliffsperlunk]

I dont give a damn about his politics just like you obviusly dont give a damn about his comedic performances.

The fact is that he sucks as a comedian the only way he can sell a book is if it caters to political idiots such as yourself, he is to ann coulter what you are to a right wing zealot.

Now get back to riding his tip and take your red thumbs with you.

[upabittoolate]

whether or not you like him has no bearing on his success. as far as me being a zealot goes, that's insane because i presented evidence of his numerous successes. my metric was by awards, body of work & book sales. that has NOTHING, i repeat, NOTHING to do with his politics.

i don't care for coulter, hannity, limbaugh or o'reilly either but damned if i'll accuse them of being "unsuccessful".

i'd say get back to logic but oyu never used that. laters.

[CoolApe69]

Franken was one of the original writers for SNL. His writing legacy during the Akroyd-Belushi-Murray-Radner era is a landmark in sketch comedy. I think you need to get used to your own butthurt from your sub-mediocre stale comments that ooze out of your lame ass.

[spliffsperlunk]

what does that have to do with the fact that he is a terrible comedian.

Are gonna tip ride now too ?

[upabittoolate]

tip ride? no one even says that anymore. you can do a little better than that.... can't you?

[mrspeel7]

And what is your opinion of his books?

[upabittoolate]

it doesn't matter what his impression of the books is. print is a form of media designed (in that instance) to entertain an audience. ie, print is an accepted form of comedy; there's such a thing as a comedian with a pen.

that said, no one can argue the success of franken's books; his comedy. spliff's premise is dead; just like the conservative "movement" and the gop.

[VerbotenDingleberry]

ROFLMAO. I love watching the Democrats dig their own grave...

[upabittoolate]

you can't be serious

[VerbotenDingleberry]

Absolutely.

All I want in this world is that the Democrat Party has every last one of their wishes granted.

it's the only way to expose their philosophy for what it is...

[upabittoolate]

you mean like the GOP was exposed the last time around?

your impression of their philosphy is ridiculous at best. nevertheless, let's see it play out. in the meantime, calm down sparky. the world isn't going anyplace.

[VerbotenDingleberry]

"your impression of their philosphy is ridiculous at best"

ROFLMAO.

May all your wishes be granted...

[savebury]

Congratulations Senator Franken! I hope that you will have a long and successful career in politics. Just like your success as an author and comedian. God Bless america!

[ushadrons]

Congratulations America. Al Franken will be an excellent progressive voice in the Senate. How can he drive Bill O'Reilly crazy? O'Reilly is already certifiably insane. Maybe the fairness doctrine will make O'Reilly even more crazy than he already is, if that is possible.

[Mosley2]

FUCK BILL O'REILLY!!!

[Raephire]

Cant drive bill o'reilly crazy.. He's already there.

[Bubba186]

about time

[tiredoflies]

Congratulations, Al! You got my vote!

Can't wait to see you confirmed and start making those Republicans look STUPID with your quick-wit and biting humor!

Dog gone-it! THIS person likes ya!

Next up, PAWLENTY!

[spock8585]

Congratulation AL and another republican bites the dust.

[ivotedhome]

Finally!!

[AMXBOY]

What loser Franken is. The people of MN will regret this for a long time. You can bet this idoit will support the Cap and Trade legislation heading for the senate, despite what it will do to the coal plants in MN. Get ready to see your energy cost double in MN. Thanks a pant load MN

[Stranahan]

Is that you, Norm?!?

[spock8585]

I loved that Comment.

[Z200a]

Shorter Amxboy:

"Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!"

[AMXBOY]

Not much thought went into your reply. Al Franken is a joke, he will do more harm than good to MN. Tell me Z200a how will the Senators in MI vote on Cap & Trade?

[Z200a]

I just think it's funny how you wingnuts have been running around in a state of pure, unhinged panic ever since Obama was elected and Democrats took back the US Senate. Full blown hysterical raving lunacy turned up to 11 seems to be your only setting these days. I'm sure you have screamed yourself hoarse by this time and now must resort to pounding out your "I'm a big victim" screeds on the keyboard.

You're going to be alright, AMXBOY. Just relax. Try to enjoy life.

[sisforshayla]

woooo! :-D

[librophile]

Al ... we kept your seat warm and left the light on ... for you.

Welcome to the senate ... FINALLY !!

[justonefirefly1]

YEA!!!!!!!!!  And about time!

[YerKiddinMeRight]

Nice one Al! Now get out there and piss off those conservative assholes!

[pughpughbarneymcgrew]

The irony is in Germany we have affordable healthcare for all and too many doctors.

[TheClique86]

Congrats to Al, give em hell

[classicallady]

Loved the part of Al drivind Bill'ONazy effing crazy!!!ahahahahahahahahaha
