Sen. Al Franken's emotional thank-you

[zeitgeisthero]

frankin is sadly another insider fake ! i supported him till he got elected, then changed because he changed. he said he didnt support the patriot act or warrentless wireless then he goes and votes for reauthorizing both without even saying a word. what a joke ! also he doesnt want to audit the fed or reign in the banks, wallst., spending, or debt.

Did he thank ACORN in his next address???

[callouschristian]

Thank You for reminding me that I need to send a check to ACORN.

[itsjimmy2009]

A fool and his money are soon parted!

[itsjimmy2009]

What kind of morons voted for a dimwit like this??? I hope the the Minnesota morons sake he represents them better then he was a comedian...

[OverlordJake]

lol, you can still see why he had such success as a writer on SNL.

[HowardSternn]

Thank You MN for giving the DEM'S the 60th vote to undo BUSH'S mess/disaster.

Bababooooey

OMG an intelligent person in the US Senate. How unreal, he actually earned the position instead of buying it. Minnesota can be proud unlike the people of Texas who have to hang their heads in shame at the two rich goobers who don't represent us.

Minnesota, the laughing stock of the mid west yet again... Pretty soon every state shall be at the verge of collapse like big ol' California.

[ObamaFavorites]

Obama is in a quick race with Jiimy Carter to replace Carter as the worst president in American history. I think Al can help Obama win this race..

[BenjaminLeePalmer]

You are an idiot! You obviously know nothing about Minnesota, moron!

You say, "pretty soon... be at the verge of collapse" (should be "on the verge"). If you knew any facts, you'd know Minnesota is one of the most prosperous states.

Annually, Minnesota has some of the highest national rankings in terms of "highest household income", "lowest poverty", "most educated" and "healthiest". Also, Minnesota has a non-profit health insurance system.

You've simply declared your own ignorance!

[BenjaminLeePalmer]

By the way, Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar are awesome.

See, here in Minnesota, we elect honest representation, not corrupt, rich politicians like where you must be from. I'd like to know what great leaders you've elected in your state!

[sonixsp]

another election bought and paid for. But i'm sur you had more votes in someones trunk. 2 bid comedian that wasn't funny even on NBC. I will always remember you on weekend update with the satillite dish on your head. Unfortuanly that's were it should have ended.

But what is another CLown in Congress anyway....

[dkparm]

Mrsthursday, you are so whitty like yesterday. You call me ignorant, lol. In what democracy has ever let the minorities rule the majority? I understand that you are probably from Israel because that is the first shot that a jew would do is to call somebody ignorant. Since you are so bright, I would love to debate you anyday. Oh yea, Israel, that's not a democracy, is it...it's a Parliament...hmmm. Yes, I hope Iran pulls back together. I love their views of Israel. May God Bless Iran.

[bcbhh88]

Oh great, one more jew boy in congress. One from Saturday night Live. I'm afraid the joke is on the USA. Went to the Tea Party the other day. Guess what? There was a whole lot of people talking bad about the jews. Thank God!!!!! America is waking up!

[mrsthursday]

Oh great another ignorant no-nothing. bcbhh88 if you don't like how a republic works maybe you should go to, mmm let's see, oh right Iran you'd do fine there.lol

Thanks for posting this, Chuck. Since I'm in town this month, I wish I would have known and been there in person.
