Al Franken: Google Fiber for Twin Ports

[TeethKnifeKwikAttack]

WTF is this silly douche doing in the Senate?

[TAXtheAtheist]

Michele Bachmann is gonna kick your effeminante ass!

[91Chevy305]

I love Duluth, but polluting this beautiful city with google's intrusive privacy politics is exactly where this country is headed. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

[dpreiner21]

Awesome!

[gnativerson]

Stuart Smalley is a keeper :^)

[Dallouez]

WOW GOOGLE is banning me!!!!! The government WILL GET YOU!!!! Bend over and smile people.

[nanothoj]

Brilliant! Gotta love Al Franken. :)

[DumbDuck44]

[milagroXjasi]

This is a great thing that the community is coming together for. Go argue politics somewhere else!

[DethFalconProduction]

you're a bitch town, google hates you, you fucking cock sucker.

[Dallouez]

Google use to be about kids for kids! They sold out to corporate international. Did you ever try to google? You get thousands of advertising, spam, viruses and oh yes GOVERNMENT CONTROL!!!! I wouldn't mind if they got ride of the drug dealers,. pimps, prostitutes, trashers, terrorists abd et al. BUIT they don't. Who has money has google.

[XxSquishymanxX]

dude wtf r u sayin?

i think the only way to get "drug dealers,. pimps, prostitutes, trashers, terrorists" on Google is if u search it...

[FreedomsPatriot]

"Al Franken graduated from Harvard"

PROOF he is a liberal brain dead IDIOT!

[moondoggie71]

Bush has a Harvard MBA, how did that work out?

[jgizzy]

@moondoggie71 Connections, man! It sure as hell wasn't due to any intelligence on his part -- let's be honest with ourselves here.

[USMC2375]

franken..wow who the fuck was stupid enough to vote for this clown?

[jchittwood]

USMC2375, the ACORN voters that don't exist and the other brainless Minnesotans that were looking for someone to represent California and New York.

[Halibut86]

It's where he's from. He's using his influence for his personal motives. Gogo selfishness

[LAgarza666]

this guy is a bitch

[JokerSmoker70]

I hate this guy.

[shakir0505]

[Jcolinsol]

Doing politics right. Except for all the "member of the state" nonsense. That... that is truly regrettable.

[johnnyappleseedism]

suck it al franken

[500freestyler]

Duluth is the PERFECT place for this!!! Come on Google, it's just meant to be!!! :)

[laurielle2betches]

jdjjsj

[pacman2007]

bring it here!

[bigdogsdontbark]

Your not Minnesota Senator because you stole the election.

[brabon1]

so when bush stole 2 elections, you wingnut fucks said, "get over it"

franken won fair and square

ALL WINGNUT FUCKS MUST DIE

and franken is introducing legislation to make that so

[johnnyboypdq]

Al got elected again?! Well it's not his fault, it's the voters (fraud) and the millions spent from the dems-money-pit...

no wonder...... So, Al how's the K-Y working out?

[evirus]

incomplete sentences?

[cyanide585]

Liberal nutcase piece of trash!

[Insaneindabrain35]

keep it classy

[EmperorofCartoons]

@cyanide585 ladies and gentleman a neocon Let's give em a hand. Thanks for setting America back another 20 years.

[cyanide585]

Nice generalization, retard. I'm not a Neocon. Nice try, though.

[Edhallick]

How much crack did these people smoke to vote for this idiot?

[CaptWafer]

At least he didn't say he was a comedian.

He is laughing at the people, with his $15K/month job. When are people going to vote their heart instead of by party????

[RussChannel]

me too

[7StoryMagnet]

love this song

[enjoey]

Do you jack asses ever read a newspaper. The film clips are of him in the 70's when he appeared on Saturday night live.The GOOGLE reference is that they are going to launch their ultra-fast computer service to ONE city for an extended test run. This position is highly coveted and cities all over the country are vying for it. It will me status and jobs for the chosen city. He is doing this for the people that voted him into office. An office  won fair and square douche bag who replied earlier.

[peterlows]

Ass-clown AL Franken hawking Google for a few bucks.A part time senator,part time ass-clown,part time Google employee,....Yep, a typical politician.I bet he holds the toilet paper roll for Obama when he takes a dump...waffles the oder and savors the flavor.

[KN4AQ]

"AL Franken hawking Google for a few bucks..." He's not hawking Google. He's shilling (for free, I'm sure) to get Google to do it's ultra-high-speed Internet test in Duluth, a city in the state he represents, so that's his job. If you weren't seething with rage, you'd recognize what was going on. He did look drunk, though. And it was pretty funny.

[yubarraboo]

@KN4AQ

It's amazing how people comment on subjects they have no knowledge of.

I guess his opponents oppose anything that encourages businesses to invest in the local economy?

[mchoops91]

@peterlows hes trying to get google to support duluth for the google fiber project wtf is wrong with that? take off your fucking blind-fold and realize everything isn't some sort of left right conflict. Being such a dick doesn't make progress any easier.

[CaptainMacNasty]

Obviously...you are so busy looking for ways to call people "Ass-clown" (whatever the hell that means) that you failed to pay any attention to what the man was saying. Let me guess: TEA PARTY MEMBER! ..am I right?

[peterlows]

Hey guys come on now, AL is a comedian he can take a little criticism. He had his15 months of fame on SNL doing jokes and saying silly stuff. I do wish him & y'all well and really hope you folks in Duluth get that google fiber thing-of-agig...Because by-golly,your good enough,your smart enough and AL likes you.

[ThreeCatsScratching]

He did the same thing for Lorne Michaels in order the be on Saturday Night Live

[357982]

And You wonder why everythings a mess with our country...Look at this douche bag!

[1Guitarslayer]

he's drunk

[SlicedTime]

Why is this lame a senator? This country is doomed!

[fenerio]

Get use to it Rethuglicans, Party of No, Party of Nixon, Cheney and the guy from Michigan that foisted the KKK nationally. Your spokesman is that Big Fat tub of goo Cheese Limbaugh. Your Vice President shoots his friends in the face and then won't talk to the press. Hell, he's talked more to the press since he's been OUTTA office. You have zero credibility and I can't wait till November to have yer a**es kicked. AGAIN!

[ThreeCatsScratching]

Check your history, Democrats started the KKK

[HomosexualRepublican]

Franken is a loser like most liberals

[unamendable]

Why would I want to know your sexual preferences? Explain.

[bdazzzle]

@HomosexualRepublican haha nice name...it translates to 'gay retard' right?

[Richr88]

Thanks to 3rd party Dem place candidate, and cooked votes in small towns, this dope is a Senator. Only in this backasswards country can a state like Minnesota elect Franken. Just think if it wasn't for fraud we wouldn't be talking about this delusional health care bill.

[TrustKovacss]

acorn? haha i love dumb people

[jchittwood]

So you are saying you love ACORN, TrusKovacss.

[9786323]

Minnesota must have been smoking crack when they elected this pinhead.This proves anyone can be Governer and i mean anyone.

[supowit]

You're a retard. Franken isn't governor... that would be Jesse Ventura that was governor... and by the way, you should be ashamed that a SEAL turned wrestler turned actor could kick the shit out of the runners in the republican AND democratic parties. Unfortunately, he got a lot of flack for speaking his mind. I can relate.

And your use of the term pinhead labels you immediately as a brainwashed oreilly buttfucking moron.

[jchittwood]

Hey, supowit you dimwit idiot (retard is too nice for a scumbag like you and you are way below it), get your facts straight. Ventura never was a navy SEAL. If you get flack like him for speaking your mind, you must be a blithering idiot, also.

And you must be an Anderson Cooper buttfuckee moron bottom boy.

[supowit]

I am quite impressed with your scalding rhetoric. (Feel the sarcasm?)

As for Ventura being a NAVY SEAL... technically, the SEALS were a separate special forces unit, but were merged with Ventura's... the underwater demolition team. So, if he had been doing the same job 8 years later, he would technically have been a SEAL. But we're splitting hairs here.

The point is, Republicans are uneducated, and self-righteous... you would be a perfect example (if in fact you are a GOPher).

[RoofFiddler]

@supowit

The "point here" is that Ventura was a SEAL. The fact that the UDT's later became known as the "SEALS" is semantic.

For the record, I'm a Libertarian. This means I get to laugh at both parties equally. Those on SIde X are very quick to paint Side Y as being "uneducated", but really, that's not true. Either party has it's best and worst.Much like the word "ignorant", those most worthy of wearing the "uneducated" label themselves are usually the first to start throwing it at others.

[RoofFiddler]

"Ventura never was a navy SEAL."

Actually, yeah, he was. You'd think that for someone to state something as certain as you just did, you'd at least take the time to check Wikipedia and make sure you didn't make a total ass of yourself.

Cliff Notes: Ventura was a Navy SEAL; commonly known by basically everyone.

[nanothoj]

@RoofFiddler

Uh, dude, you should try checking Wikipedia before declaiming too loudly about people making asses of themselves:

"on a Minnesota Public Radio interview from December 14, 1999 then Governor Ventura's office confirmed that Ventura was never a member of the SEALs and his spokesman stated that Ventura has "never tried to convince people otherwise".[11]"

[pubsterguy]

His comedy sucked and so does his politics

[09090985]

Franken who was elected by Acorn

[09090985]

fraken the most worthless joke in the senate. Elected by Acorn, Seriooouuusly!

[rickki1]

Hi AL,

 Okay Mr. google did you bring enough fiber for everyone?

[FailJunkies]

Fail Videos!! @ My Channel!!

[baddmanaz]

Al's the man!

[JLiShantih]

Franken is the man! viva franken!

[bradzdestroyer]

@zzTheMuirzz How do i go about gettin in?

[copyvio]

Nice haircut, Al

[newportbob1]

Al, Love Your Work. Looks like too many Fox Zombies surfing the Google ...

[atomicdolphin]

I FREAKING LOVE AL FRANKEN!!!!

[SueMN]

why won't my comments post!!???  grrr

[everyneeshallbow1]

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.- 2 Peter 1:5-8

[originnone]

That was the funniest post I've ever seen!

[IceC80]

Champaign, IL would be a much better choice for Google Fiber to create its testbed. Champaign, IL is home to some of the most innovative computer science in history and is currently considering a fiber optics project funded by the government (has funding already). If Google Fiber decided to work with Champaign, I'm sure it would be beneficial both for the project and the city.

If Google Fiber arrived in Champaign, there would be research done by the professors at the University of Illinois.

[nembutals]

Google Fiber would be a HUGE infrastructural boost for Duluth and the Twin Ports area. I REALLY hope it happens, that would be just a terrific thing. :)

Don't really understand where the hate for Al Franken comes from, I think he's been one of the better members in the Senate as far as both giving strong representation to his Minnesota constituents and knocking heads where heads need to be knocked on the Judiciary committee.

[semigotbanned]

Al Franken rulz

[TheTheJPShow]

Hey you come to my channel & meet Paul! =D

[kukaipaa]

Franken is talking about bringing 21st century improvements to a city in his state. He is more intelligent than the average senator. He can debate anybody with intelligence, facts, history.

[jchittwood]

Hey kukaipaa, what city in California or New York is he "talking abou bringing 21st century improvemnts to" and what would they be? Is the average IQ in the Senate 60? How can Fat Al "debate anybody with intelligence, facts, history" when Fat Al doesn't have any himself?

[mikewalker789]

Good riddance to the badly mismanaged '00's.

Those thinking about long-term recovery, know the environment will be a big winner in the conversion to biofuels & biopower -- saw a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

[Xancha128]

This video has increased my already considerable admiration of Sen. Franken.

[billeybop]

I like Big Al Franken because what you see is what you get. He shut down Bill O'Rielly and stands his ground! What the hell is being jewish have to do with his ability to represent? I dislike morons!

[Kahootz69]

I am proud to say that Al Franken is my senator!

[TAXtheAtheist]

@Kahootz69 Al Franken likes gerbils inside of his person.

[collectionoftunes]

Technology hub in Duluth?  Great! Let's get this economy moving again!

[mhystead1]

We are proud to be the producers of this video. All pro bono. All for the city we love.

[lmlasky18]

Duluth is where it's at :)

[GradStud28]

Daniel Greysolon, sieur du Lhut (la ville Duluth porte son nom), était un héros franco-minnésotain. Il a traité les Amérindiens équitablement et était un grand explorateur! Vive la grandeur minnésotaine! Nous sommes «l'étoile du nord»!

[asphyxiafeeling]

I <3 Google!

[jakepeters128]

Heck, even the smelt love Duluth!

[LindseySHenderson]

[letsgofly08]

DULUTH IS A COOL CITY!!

[TheCandylady65]

Awesome video! Duluth and Al get my vote every time.

[GardnerLepp]

That's Tom Davis playing the "local yokel"! Great to see a Minnesota comedy legend in action. Oh yeah, and that Senator is still pretty funny too.

[adrianafitz]

This is great! There needs to be more of the Duluth Answer Man on youtube.

[bestofobama]

Go Duluth. Thanks, Al. You make us proud to hail from Minnesota.

[WatchDogNews]

the music made me shake my caboose.

[mponyboy]

Boy, that brings back memories... nice work!

[ilenejohanneson]

Duluth has my vote for Google Fiber!

[ppascha]

Duluth is cooler than Topeka. It's a scientific fact.

Google is already edgy and hip but if they want to be cool, they'll choose Duluth.

Duluth. It's a Cool City!

[Leana713]

Duluth rocks the casbah! Is there anyone cooler to have as a neighbor that Paul Bunyan!

[tpeterson2520]

Because Duluth is good enough... it's smart enough... and dog gonnit, people like it. :)

[GardnerLepp]

That's funny.

[dulblades1]

Franken Rocks!!!

[rglduluth]

Duluth Rocks! Answer man Rocks! Senator Franken Rocks! Faster internet... now that's something tha would really rock!

[laurabernhardson]

Duluth is clearly the best choice for Google Fiber.

[loompa1111]

love it. franken for president.

[Kahootz69]

i don't think many cities can even come close to beating this plug.

[BuckyLenore]

If Google comes to Duluth, can we attract more people as cool as Franken? Cooler, even?

[LiLaMoCo]

Can we see More answer man?!

[PeepsInDuluth]

Duluth Minnesota is the best place in the world to live and work! Now, if only we had faster internet, eh?

[aluminumpork]

Great video! I've never heard of the answer man before now.

[prairieroseseminole]

This is awesome! "the Duluth smelt run....

[mhystead1]

Duluth is the coolest place I know! And Senator Franken is the coolest Senator!!!!

[JJNess]

Awesome, indeed! I've never heard of the Duluth Answer Man before!

[dsalz917]

I agree with mikescholtz. I can't get enough of the Duluth Answer Man either.

[BrianBarber]

Awesome.

[annesdugan]

This is the best video bid for Google Fiber ever made, period.

[freshwaterjake]

Just imagine how fast we could share The Answer Man if Duluth had Google Fiber... oh the possibilities...

[khinrichs19]

Aren't we lucky to have google now? I mean, the Answer Man was great, but...

[herbsterlevi]

"However the smelt run every spring in Duluth." Yay, go GoogleTwinPorts!

[mikescholtz]

I can never get enough of the Duluth Answer Man.

[SaumZ]

Love the video! Thanks Al!

[hunterlaker]

Love it!! Thanks Al. Come on Google - you'll definitely find the community support that you're looking for in Duluth!
