Senator Al Franken To Senator Joe Lieberman "STFU!" (paraphrasing)

[ca34jun]

The first time you have seen this in 20 years McCain is because your seeing someone who is not licking a corporate asshole. So yeah I guess change comes with age and your seeing it, Thank the Lord you werent elected to ruin the country even further.

[haierdell]

The I doesn't stand for independent. It stands for Israel.

[danger0usknowledge]

McCain IS A LYING LIAR b/c he knows it happened

the same freaking day. ONLY THE SAME DAY....

and many times before and since. As a conservative

republican he knows he is entitled to his own facts,

opinions & willful lies.

[slapshot01j]

[freesoul2005]

i love Al Franken....he is no BS man

[hugodominguez9]

Wow! Al Franken is a real Deutschbag!

[M14Mann]

LMAO!! Caligula's Horse denies the Blood thirsty warmongering sofa Samurai. This is like Nazi Germany and Communist Russia fighting in WW2. You don't care which side wins only that they tear each other apart.

[tim23z]

By the way, this exchange may hurt the commity of the Senate, but it sure adds to the 'comedy', LOL!

[westwindmilagro]

McCain war criminal and GOP-Isreali Spokesmodel's memory is even shorter than his microscopic gentials. Love this pervert GOP robot with his Likud panties up his filthy crack, all in a bunch. Al Franken made Johnny CRY! Poor Johnny & his GOP-Dem Crime Family owned by Goldman Sachs & Insurance CEO billionaires need their intestines wrapped around GOP entitled necks no matter how obstreperously he & they OBJECT! Boo Hoo GOP filthy scabs owned by Isrealis who operate placid GOP Pet Negro Obama. .

[revolt2099]

Al Franken cracks me up even when he's being absolutely serious.

John McCain: "I've been around here 20-some years and it's the first time I've seen a fellow's member...."

[tim23z]

These guys talk too much anyways (sic). Say, shut it, sit down. You're on the federal dime for cryin' out loud. Grandstanders, what can ya say.

[Kevin01SH]

hes a nigger jew

[jackiechampion]

Good for you, Franken! And McCain is a mealy mouthed liar! He did the exact same thing to a Democratic Senator from Minnesota just a few years ago.

[booksmart115]

Franken is an abomination! However, I can't say I'm surprised anymore with what Min, produces...but I am surprised of our leadership in Washington or lack there of, with out a doubt not just Franken, but the house in general is the epitome of ineptness.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Well at least he's not a nigger.

[SaddamsFedora]

No Nazis, just Klansman. (Robert Byrd D-WV)

[TennesseeKang]

im glad that franken did this to joe, the entire congress r clowns anyway, i would like to throw all of them in jail

[hyperseauton]

The world is coming to an end out there and these guys do these pissing contests over 2 minutes speaking time?

Oh come on McCain... is this still about the Presidency? Hmm? Come on, honey, it's ok... Is this still about the Presidency?

It IS still about the Presidency, isn't it.

[ftmguru]

Get a clue! It's about the dramatic rush of the democraps pushing healthcare through even thought the vast majority of the general population DON'T WANT IT!

[tallsmile28]

McCain is a fucking liar. He did the same thing when the gop was in the majority.

[ftmguru]

Vague and unfounded! Don't say things from your biased point of view! Date and time of the instance?

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

More nigger lies.

[gefkuper]

Why is this inexperienced CLOWN serving as President of the Senate in the first place????

In the next few days, the Liberal SS will once again try to force a bill that hasn't been read through the congress, and since liberal Democrats are in the majority, they will probably succeed in a government take over of yet another major segment of our economy...

[knowsalot2002]

Can't wait till November when the country takes half of these dumb witted liberals out of office.

Time for REAL change.

Time to stop worrying about healthcare bs and global warming bs. Job creation and economy is what demands attention.

Old people already have medicare. Working people can pay for their insurance. The lazy deserves no health coverage. The illegals deserve no health coverage.

The ones who are too sick and get turned down for insurance,...that's where reform is needed.

[Qopel]

Working people can pay for their insurance? LOL....yeah right!

[DShadow911]

lolo in my capacity... jesus christ

[SCODgreenhood]

Rock on Franken! Awesome !!!! *****

[Ironbob2006]

This is what happens when Nazis seize power. They do whatever is necessary to squelch any opposition. What's even more appalling is the filthy pigs on this thread who don't understand the spirit of unanimous consent.

[tracerlexicon]

@Ironbob2006 unfortunately, McCain is lying to you. He himself did this to Sen. Dayton (D-MN) on October 10, 2002 when Dayton tried to pass an amendment limiting George W's (un)constitutional powers to wage war in Iraq. The official congressional transcript is available online. Just google it.

[HoneySiegalSurvivor]

@tracerlexicon Sen. John McCain in the State of Arizona is complicit in fraud in CV98-11374 whereby it was stated that the United States is not the United States or Canada or Mexico. @SenatorFranken were you able to stop the NBC Comcast monopoly? @SenatorLieberman your faith and your ethics must be upheld vis a vis history. Barack Hussein Obama is a crooked attorney nationalizing my banks for the agenda of the crooks who made the estate of Honey R. Siegal deceased. I am not dead. NO nazi germany

[Qopel]

There are no Nazis in the Senate you idiot.

[metalkev00]

I depise Al Franken but I think this is great. John McCain is learning a lesson the hard way. Don't pander to liberals because they will they will throw you under the bus at the first moment it suits them. This WILL happen again and those Democrats are just going to get freakier and freakier.

[cathsar2]

Who the hell does Franken think he is...I don't want him to be one of my leaders. He is totally unqualified and uncivilized.

[bek12]

@cathsar2:

He is following the rules. Sorry it hurt someone's feelings.

[aggies436]

Damn liberal scum! I hate the democratic party! Party of communism!

[cathsar2]

Yes they are and yes it is!

[lv3ddip]

Droopy deserves that and more from Dems. Droopy is a selfish sell out to the health insurance companies. Ask his wife!

[EastWaViking]

Franken is as foolish and stupid as Obama, Reed and Pelosi. He fit's in perfect in this Alice in Wonderland admin.

Get real liberal fools.

[hog0fogo]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer Benedic- I mean, gentleman.

[seemslikeadream]

Senile old John McCain he can't remember doing the very same thing to Mark Dayton. If you think it's wrong McCain why did you do it??

[socialistcontainment]

I applaud the author for explaining that STFU! is a paraphrase to his fellow Democrat voters.

[boatbumd4]

Al Franken is an arrogant little self absorbed ass hole.

What is going on in Minnesota? Jesse Ventura, then Al Franken?!?! Is the entire state populated with the spawn of incestuous relationships?

[stillrob420]

Fascism

[independent684]

John Mccain don't understand what's going on over there. That sounds about right. Remember palin

[Freeway74]

Lieberman has joined the cursed goats and I wish he would shut up permanently. All he wants is to force us all to pay extortion money to the insurance industry that provides nothing but bureaucracy and empty promises.

Republican voters will join their leaders in hell.

[1970zona]

What kind of idiots would elect someone like Franken.

[LOVELIFE54]

What a circus ! No wonder our nation is where it is !

[rozalindbrack]

How about avoiding all this stupid, childish invective about looks? I'd be interested in some intelligent commentary on the substance of what the politically fluctuating Conn. Senator misrepresented and misconstrued in his remarks.

[GaryHMan]

"one ugly looking dude." Wow. What a fabulous debating point! LOL

[jtravis282]

Franken's real name must be Frankenstein cause he is one ugly looking dude.

[Nddddtek]

Actually Al Franken is the idiot. Just the fact that liberals elected Al Franken speaks volumes about them too. He's an absolute idiot and so are the brainwashed sheeples that voted for him.

[randy9675]

Liberman is a fucking idiot! He blathered on for 10 minutes and said nothing, why listen to more if it. McCain should just shut the fuck up!! He probably won't remember he said anyway! Liberman is trying to single-handedly fuck as many of us as he can as fast as he can, so his right wing believers in the Shock Method can continue Bush's work to make the U.S. a dictatorship where the wealthy Republican Bastards run the whole show. Fuck 'em all! I'm glad Franken has a set of balls & is using them

[JixMa]

"Senator Al Franken To Senator Joe Lieberman "STFU!" (paraphrasing)"

Hear hear for Al Franken! Too bad he didn't really say it. And a big FUCK YOU to McAin't-I-An-Asshole for his complaint that in his "20-something years here" he never saw a member denied a minute or two to finish his comments even though it just happened earlier that very day as Carl Levin pointed out. McAin't is truly full of shit and senile and out of touch with reality and ought to resign and never be heard from again.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

someone finally told this pathetic puppet to shut up

[MCKVDCHS]

SENATOR AL - YOUR THE MAN. joe has no clue.

[Intechdude300]

Lieberman. What is he? He's a Democrat, Independent, and Considers & backs Republicans.

WTF is He?????

[nossful]

Lieberman was betrayed by the Democrats because he supported the war in Iraq like so many of the Dems did at the beginning. The difference is that he stuck with his opinion and most of them changed. The Democrats foolishly turned their backs on Lieberman, and he won the congressional race beating a Democrat. He is way too forgiving and sides with the Dems on a lot of issues. If I were Lieberman, I would stall every bill the Democrats brought up for vote... but thats just me. Go Joe!

[hklberry]

Uhhhh......maybe the word is independent thinker?

[starVol]

Al FRanken is a little turnd nerd. When this little fat weinerwussy told Joe Lieberman to sit down and wrap it up, John McCain and other real Senators get annoyed at some little weinerdrip like this bug eyed nerd dork like Al Franken doing this to Lieberman.

[twotwoseven]

Lieberman could get another hour and he would still be a fool and in the pocket of big insurance!

[Windward2]

Franken is a joke and a disgrace. Grow up!!

[Raul48819]

Lieberman's annoying voice...

AAAARGHHH!

[huebertd]

lol, god this is why nothing ever gets done in congress. they bitch back and forth about stupid B.S. I don't care what your politics are. All politicians are scum bags, and they waste our time and money.

[NWKBricks1]

McCain stated that "Time was urgent." Yet he keeps going on about Sen. Droopy being denied more time.

[rickatart]

Time is urgent when you're a senile old fart like McCain and his weasly butt-buddy

[MoxNewsDotCom]

I'm not trying to do that.

I'm trying to communicate like a Human Being...

What are You trying to do?

[MoxNewsDotCom]

More name calling...

That's the best You've got...

[MoxNewsDotCom]

"Untwist your panties."

What are You talking...?

You're the one calling names.

All I said is would You like the FULL VIDEO

AND ...

Then Published it.

So...

What are You talking...?

[LesTrafik]

Lieberman: a wealthy man himself, just happens to (nearly single-handedly) kill the recent health care bill, then pats himself on the back for a job well-done (or a job not-done).

[mummyange]

the smile reminds me of the grinch who stole christmas

[Gerkinstock]

Al Franken and Barbara Boxer might be the two dumbest people serving in the Senate today. And he might even be more repulsive than Nancy Pelosi.

Still, the Dumbest Man Alive award for 2009 has to go to Al Gore. No wonder liberalism is in the crapper. The only Democrat to succeed in the last 40 years was Bill Clinton after remaking himself as the second coming of Ronald Reagan and embracing the Republicans' agenda in 1995.

Liberalism = failure.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Obama are not liberals, they are corporate hacks (so were/are Reagan, Bush and Palin).

Democrats are not the same as liberals just as Republicans are not the same as conservatives.

Obama will fail for being too similar to the Republicans, but you will blame liberals.

[FlashWeiner]

McCain also needs to STFU!

He's never seen this happen before? And this country has never seen such a political puppet so obviously tied to his own corrupt financial interests that he shits on his own party and the people who voted him into office.

Thanks Sen. Franken for doing what we all want to do.

Tell this phony to sit down and shut the fuck up!

[capjo2008]

First off, there is NOTHING distinguished about any of you cockroaches fron EITHER side of the political isle.

Secondly, Lieberman and McCain should stop whining about the Senate being lessened as a result of what Franken said because the entire American political process has been destroyed by antics in which both these cockroaches have participated!

May karma come onto both of you!!!

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Joe Lieberman and the health insurance cartel can go f*** themselves!

[MoxNewsDotCom]

No! Lieberman is talking out his ass once again in a monotone that would put ANYONE to sleep and that NO ONE wants to listen to!

OR! As Mr Franken put it so well "We Have Heard Enough!" and I didn't want to force that on people who might want to see something that John McCain hasn't seen in his 27 years in the Senate :)

AND I was worried they might not see it because the fell asleep or just got sick of Lieberman. Do You Know What It Is That I Am Say-ing?

You want me to post the whole thing?

[FreedomLiberty21]

Go Sen. Franken!!!!!!!!!!!!

good to know there is someone in the Senate willing to shut up fucking Lieberman, the Republican who parades around as a Democrat.

what a corporate pig

[Frink14]

Hey you fucking dumbass Lieberman is an Independent and more of a Democrat than a Republican.

[chad00023]

maybe its rude to stop an old guy in midstatement. but, doesnt that show the old guys are babbleing way to much and wasting our taxes by clogging time controlled,, to understand what we the people want

k i c k t h e m a l l o u t . c o m

[aarongohn]

McCain can't remember earlier the same day. God he's old.

[samson5791]

@aarongohn  What the hell kind of remark is that? Wise and intelligent is more like it moron.

[lmn8bush]

Ten minutes of joe lie-berman is more than any sane person can possibly take .

[rayjohn90501]

what a bunch of clowns, I am embarrassed! High school kids are more mature then that!

[toddc123]

Good for Senator Franken!

[Newssnoop]

Yet McCain has no problem with Republican stall tactics, such as the reading of a 750 page single-payer amendment on the Senate floor.

[leopoldmozart]

@Newssnoop Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. The Republicans have pulled many disgraceful antics, starting with Gingrich's slanderous and cowardly diatribe against Tip O'Neill that was delivered to an empty chamber but was televised for maximum political gain. It's about time we started electing adults to congress. Good for you, Senator Franken!

[dodgerboy86]

lol, far be it from a Senator to read/understand an amendment before it's added to a bill ... idiot

[Newssnoop]

Idiot? The intent was not to blindly add it to the bill. Senator Sanders wanted a honest debate on the single payer option. The republicans asked that the bill be read in its entirety, not because they didn't understand it, but to prevent a debate, or vote on the floor.

Do your homework before you start hurling insults.

[glenisah]

So he thinks that it harms the comedy of the senate?

Is that really what he said?

And you've never seen that happen before?

Do you ask for consent as a matter of procedure only?

[lbdinosaur]

That would be "the comity":a state or atmosphere of harmony or mutual civility and respect

[watthead]

I love Al Franken.

[callouschristian]

Rock n' Roll AL that is my favorite so far MOX.. Ooooh John thinks it's "wrong"....Al is completely punk and I love him.

[Churchx77]

Fuck McCain is a whiner.

[dman5679]

@Churchx77 That whiner defended your freedom. He was tortured in the line of duty so that you may continue to say the things you do.

Furthermore, both Senator Lieberman and Senator McCain are your elders and you owe them your respect, as do I. They are older and wiser beyond your years, perhaps even beyond their own. No Senators in this clip acted beyond their stated powers of debate in the Senate, however, actions on both sides were impolite.

[GuyaRicanMC]

I'm not trying to downplay how horrible McCain's time in Vietnam was, but it was still Vietnam! None of our freedoms were on the line in the Vietnam War last time I checked. As a matter of fact, didn't the US lose Vietnam too? And guess what? We still have freedom of speech. So spare us with the "he got tortured so you can have freedom of speech" nonsense. His military service, while admirable, and his old age do not exempt him from criticism.

[dman5679]

1) The policy of containment was internationally regarded as a legitimate policy of defensive preemptive strike at the time the Vietnam war began, by the United States, and by the allies of the United States.

[dman5679]

2) President Lyndon Baines Johnson was a democratically elected head of state. His war in Vietnam was conducted against legitimate military targets according to the rules set forth in Michael Walzer's treatise 'Just and Unjust Wars' and can therefore be called a just war.

[dman5679]

3) John McCain's service to the Navy, in his capacity as a VOLUNTEER fighter pilot means that he joined for, among other reasons, to defend the United States and the Constitution of the United States. Simply by virtue of his having joined the Navy, John McCain tacitly accepted a fate of death in defense of his country. He could not have known that some years later he would be fighting in a little known country in Southeast Asia.

[dman5679]

4) Whether you agree or disagree that McCain actually defended, in his actions, during the war, your rights, iis irrelevant. We know based on his character that he would have died for those rights of yours. So, although you may have your own criticisms over the strategic importance/legitimacy of the Vietnam war, but that's not on trial here.

[dman5679]

5) Although Johnson may have assumed power after Kennedy's assassination, he still ran on Kennedy's ticket, and is thereby as legitimately appointed as his predecessor.

[Churchx77]

dman, John McCain was tortured in the line of duty because he was a bad pilot. Didnt he crash a plane 6 times ? And I dont owe anybody respect. Respected is earned and he did not earn mine. All the contrary. I dont give a damn about how old he is. He played with fire during the presidential run and now he's paying for it. Fuck him and his vp pick.

[dman5679]

I can't say whether those things are correct, and I would not form opinions around rumors that I am not certain are correct or just complete fabrications.

However, they are no reason to be disrespectful, and I would kindly remind you that one may still disagree with the opinions expressed by another person, without denigrating that person.

[OmarThePug]

Al Franken will end up floating in a river...haha. That Lieberman is evil.

[ZachRB87]

What goes around, comes around. Republicans will be in power soon.

[HungryVermilingua]

27 YEARS!!!!

Well old boy, This ain't your father's Oldsmobile anymore.

And YES REALLY.

[BabybooR33]

Joe Lieberman the sith...

[VeohBlows]

This is filibustering? What they do all day? Yes Reeeeeeallly step off bitch. Next! WTF do u want dumbass.

[sp4maerie]

Libermann gets what he deserves, he should get used 2 being dumped on, some of the democrats aint gonna let him breath without clamping down on him.

[Organjic]

more senators whining.
