  • I have not read all the comments and I bet someone explained this but Franken did not object to be an asshole, but the Senate was on a strict time frame to move forward on the legislation and he knew that. So as a trustee of his party he decided to object, not because he dislikes Lieberman. I have seen the presiding officer object before, so this is not as big a deal as people might think

  • this video proves The Left is narrow-minded. You support Al Franken regardless of the circumstances (especially this). There's nothing wrong with pointing out lies, except for the fact that Mr. Franken only attacks the right.

  • @imbaaackk i agree with nothing wrong with pointing out lies...but even if franken only points out lies on the right why is he hated for it...i mean be good if he and everyone pointed out everything they know to be a lie...butttttttt!!!! yes we can dream ! i like franken myself and will look to see if he only points out lies only on the right ...i like mostly that he seems to know what hes talking about as he seems to research the points hes making...which u would think to be normal...but is not

  • Now Joe Blow doesn't BE-LI-EVE building seven was even there. Put on your blinders you mutant apes Santa Claws is on his way.

  • It's not unusual to object to further time. This isn't a political stunt at all.

  • @AxRhea88 not unusual in the House but pretty unusual in the Senate. I don't give a shit though. I love Al Franken.

  • You're an idiot, he never called soldiers babykillers. Where's your evidence,? Should be easy to source right, due to the massive controversy?

    Be honest, you hate Franken because he shows up what lying fools most right wing pundits are.

  • Joe is unpredictable when it comes to his vote

  • We need more comedians in politics, if they are going to rob us, at least we should have a good laugh.

  • Well, it's one thing to be an experienced comedian, and an entirely diffent thing to be an inexperienced politician.

  • Why does the right hate Al Franken so much?

    Because he pointed out that Bill O'Rielly and Ann Coulter lie a lot, and make a lot of misleading/intellectually dishonest statements?

    I'm usually happy when someone points out to me that i've been lied to. It's better than not knowing...

  • Would you like someone to do it right now?

  • *shrugs* Alright.

  • You're welcome.

  • O noes. 'Twas a trap.

    Let me rephrase: if I have been lied too, please explain in detail good sir.

  • Honestly, they probably just hate him because he's a Democrat.

  • + Bill o'Reilly says to hate him...

  • Because Al Franken is a scumbag and a dirtbag?

  • Explain to me why he is a "scumbag and a dirtbag"?

  • Al Franken is a liar which is a basic requirement for success in politics. He stole the election in Minnesota. He stands for nothing except the acquisition of power.

  • Could you give me an example in which he lied? And evidence he stole the election? Any example of where he abused his power?

  • @aceflashheart Fact......Frankenstein moved to have the votes of our troops in Iraq voided, and a liberal judge approved.

    1,500 fake ballots were found, and then counted, in the Minnesota govenors vehicle. If you need more, look it up for yourself. If you dare seek the truth.

  • This is a lie you are repeating. Did you hear it from Junky Rush or from Fux Noose?

  • @analogyman actually, I heard it on CBSD news.

  • @aceflashheart then you must love obama, he lies everytime he opens his mouth.

  • Al Franken is a no good, filthy, bastrad,and a thief .He stole the election. He's no senator. He barely passes as a man.

  • somebody needed to shut joe up. thanks al.

  • Poor Isreali President Lieberman, defended by GOP war criminal terrorist Johnny Blue-Blood McCain to Joey's rescue! Please Joey, Goldman Sach's, Rob Emmanuel, Ben Bernanke and your GOP Texas Plantation Operators of Dumbfuckistan....shove your Isreali Pres Joey's slobbering comments far-far up your GOP-Dem Terrorist Crime Family's corporate-owned fat asses.then rotate in the wind. I'll sell popcorn & conduct Stars & Stripes while you GOP Ladies enjoy your Isreali Presidential tongueing from Joey.

  • Idiots just keep on electing idiots....

    THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS YOUR ENEMY.

  • Maybe you are the simpleton.

  • The media/news is propaganda and diversion. It's goals are to divide and entertain. To make us think that whatever they say is the most important thing. They are literally creating reality.

  • Its all a controlled vote... it is a controlled President... your vote don't matter... if no one votes for a president , than what we have the freedom to run our own Country... We should be a leader to our country , not a pointed one with a fixed vote... Of we hire the boss, than we have the right to "Fire the Boss...!

  • "Senator Franken". I never thought I'd live to see the day that some ridiculous comedian would end up as a senator. What a sick joke!

    This whole administration, starting with the notion that Obama is some kind of "savior" for America, is just an absolute joke.

  • The real sick joke was 30 years ago when a B actor became President of our great nation.

  • Reagan was the best President of my lifetime. I have fond memories of the 80s as a time of prosperity. Gotta love the fact that he easily defeated Jimmy "crack corn" Carter who was up for re-election.

  • Reagan was a piece of shit traitor. He illegally sold missles to Iranian TERRORISTS and funneled the money to Nicaraguan TERRORISTS.

  • That's ridiculous. Nothing ever showed or proved that Reagan himself authorized the Iran-Contra scandal. And the Nicaraguans involved were against their country's Communist regime. They were known as "Contras" which means "against".

    And Nicaragua fell to Communism during the Presidency of Jimmy Carter.

  • One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Ollie North took the fall. Bush arranged the deal, Ollie North took the fall and was pardoned. A shameful presidency...

  • @greenthumbguy1 whatchu talkin' 'bout, willis?

  • @spiralshaman ... Good thing it is not really happening...lol ...Good thing we are not them...lol Good thing we are Free Truth spiritually beings ... That is what really happens when you inbreed ...

  • Whether a republican or a democrat, I'm glad someone finally told him to shut up.

  • stevo0665: Same here; most have missed the point in this thread though ... and making this an Obama savior argument versus whoever else was a great president. Well, it is simply about "Joe, you had your time and we had enough" - very simple.

  • al franken is repulsive as hell. he was never a funny comedian and actually i mark the stuart smalley era aswhen snl started sucking. he is however wonderful at hiding ballots in trunks of cars. by the way scroll down, user name bukkakeguy-loves frankenfart, tell us all typical demoncrap lover, what doe BUKKAKE mean?

  • Al Franken. And to think,

    that this horses ass is a committee chairman.

    Enjoy it while you can Al.

    You and your "President" will soon be but a blurb in the history books.

  • Joe and Al are great friends in real life.

  • Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and current President Pro Tempore, Democratic Senator Robert Byrd believes you are a "white nigger", ma'am.

    All forms of totalitarianism is left-wing. Left and Right always refer to the size and scope of central govt relative to the this size of local govt.

    Totalitarians and liberals alike seek to broaden the scope of central govt, and increase its size.

  • Franken is such a tool

  • Welcome to Washington, Al.

    You're finally in your natural element, along with all the rest of the f*#%kers.....really!

  • Franken was just following the rules. He cut off another senator, a Democrat, for the same time-restriction reason as he did for Lieberman. Quit it with hysteria.

  • You know, Lieberman ended up voting FOR the bill. So I don't know why the tea party crowd is all up in arms and coming to his defense?

    Does anyone from any political side like this guy now? Liberals, no ... conservatives, no ... teabaggers ... maybe??

  • Al Franken is the reason that you NEVER EVER tell your retarded child they can be all they can be when they grow up.

  • Oh yeah, hey der. Al Franken iz like God... ohhh yeah hay der.

    Frickin' Minnesota Morons!!!!! Is your Brain Frozen? How anyone can even fathom checking a box for an inexperienced idiot like Franken just proves the Land of 10,000 Lakes is now the Land of a Big Moron Senator. First Jesse the Body, Now Franken the Moron. WTF is going on way up der?

  • good job Al, keep up the good work

  • Franken sums up in a few words everything that is wrong in this country. He's a complete moron, and it's comments like this that is going to rally real Americans to take back real America. The way our founding fathers had envisioned it. What Americans fought for, and gave their life for. We are turning into a socialist embarrassment. When this health care joke passes... America is done. Libs are a cancer, they just attack not knowing why, but end up destroying themselves in the process also.

  • Yeah, I agree. Our forefathers fought for those morons to have the right of free speech therefore I say to them shut the fuck up!

  • @creativebuzz We are an embarrassment already, being the only modern industrialized nation without a national healthcare program. No where else can someone go bankrupt because of medical bills. Our founding fathers couldn't have forseen the kinds of problems we are facing. Our democracy is working just fine, except for the corruption of the politicians on both sides of the aisle by the huge corporations. America is done? Don't be rediculous...

  • greenDUMBguy1, Are you serious? and how do we pay for this? You libs are great at spending other people's money, and acting like you are the generous ones. I'm self employed, and work my ass off to pay for my own health care. Now I'm going to have to pay for others too. Others too lazy to work for themselves. All this will do is punish hard work and success and ENABLE LAZINESS. Reform is needed, but NOT shoved down our throats. It starts with tort reform. This WILL Bankrupt America.

  • @creativebuzz You're right, tort reform would have been a great starting point. So would ending the anti-trust law exemption for insurance companies. Plus, when people who can't afford health insurance go to the emergency room, you pay for it anyway, at an extremely bloated rate. Hospitals and and doctors overcharging insurance companies has contributed to this mess too. If Germany, France, Netherlands, Australia, and every other industrialized nation can do it we can too.

  • Ignorant Liberal

    My healthcare system is fine, I pay for it !

    you want me to pay for your healthcare - that isn't going to happen !

  • hey Lieberman, have a tall glass of "shut up" juice

  • Alan Grayson/Al Franken 2012!!! It's time to stop being polite with the Republicans. From day one of this administration has done everything it could shut the system down. Don't give me that "they don't want socialism" BS argument. They are owned by huge corporations who have no allegiance to the citizens of the US or any other country. They don't give a damn about democracy, only the dollar. Anyone who votes Republican gets exactly what they deserve...hosed.

  • Franken barely won his own state; and i'd doubt a presidential election. In that case and to ensure a loss.. Grayson/Franken 2012!!

  • Comment removed

  • @starVol Spoken like a true anonymous Teabag/douchebag, chucklehead Youtuber. What are you doing on a C-span video page? Go back to your Fox news Glenn Beck circle jerk. You're just a schoolyard sissy threatening someone while you're holding on to the teachers skirt.

  • Comment removed

  • keep your pathetic deviant sexual behavior to yourself.

    greenthumbguy1 - Pathetic Liberal Democrat.

  • I don't feed the trolls, sorry.

  • Franken is a loser of unparalleled lack of character. this doesn't surprise me. I'm not a big fan of Lieberman either, but Franken is just a dick.

  • You're The Man Al!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah, shut the fuck up Lieberman!

  • Anything...anything at all...that will get Insurance Co Whore Lieberman to STFU - I applaud!

  • Lieberman is President of The Unitied States of Israel.

  • i'll put this in the language comedians are so fond of: al franken is a fucking asshole. and was never ever funny as stuart smalley. plus he's a fat fuck. fuck him. eat shit fuckface.

  • al franken a lunatic at best

  • On Sat morning Reid threw out the 2,100 page bill that the world's greatest deliberative body spent just 17 days debating & replaced it with a new "manager's amendment" that was stapled together in covert partisan negotiations.Dems are barely even bothering to pretend to care what's in it, not that any Sen had the chance to digest it in the 38 hrs before the 1st cloture vote at 1 AM this morning.After procedural motions that allow for no amendments, the final vote could come at 9 p.m. on Dec 24.

  • We have only given people "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" --- it's the "pursuit" part that some people just do not get. The more successful are not obligated to take care of the less successful. Everyone has the same opportunity to pursue success ... under the US constitution. But, of course, we are now being governed by Socialists and Marxists --- so this is what we get!

  • the point is Morgenthau's "quote" was a diary entry, for possible public review after he was dead. Wanting to believe our government is capable of delivering the goods in a sustained manner in spite of contrary examples here and abroad is not just wishful thinking, it's psychotic.

  • [We have said we would give everybody a job that wanted it. We have never taken care of the people . . . . there are four million that don't have that much income. We have never done anything for them . . . We have never begun to tax the people in this country the way they should be . . .

  • Have never done anything for them? Surely you jest. Ever heard of rent subsidies, food stamps, aid-to-dependent children, food pantries, free clinics? Those 40 million you talk about are also the ones that put anything into the economy - just take. YOU can pay more taxes - personally, I am about taxed to death and it's going to get worse. Just what does "taxed as they should be mean"?

  • Why is this administration addressing employment?  That is a much bigger problem than health care right now.

  • Hey armyveteran101st - here's something better.. the full quote. "From The Morgenthau Diaries -- Years of Urgency 1938-1941" at pp. 24-25: We have tried spending money. We are spending more money than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just none interest, and if I am wrong . . . somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job, I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. . . .

  • . People who have it should pay. . . . It's never a good year to have a tax bill, but I think it's a darn good year to begin to balance the budget. . . . the biggest deterrent of all . . . is that the country does not know when the end is in sight and this unbalancing of the budget . . . that's what frightens people.] I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started . . . . And an enormous debt to boot!

    - So, how do you spin that, armyvet?

  • Good for Franken! Lieberman deserves nothing but contempt and ostracism, and it is my fervent hope that Connecticut voters will throw him out on his ass at the earliest possible convenience.

  • Exactly right.

  • Connecticut voters just reelected Lieberman. He's in for another 6 years! And unlike Franken, Lieberman was elected fair and square.

  • please dear god stop selling us out!

  • thank u why so freaking fast. thhere killing old ppl thats what really is going hear but we better stay in line and not say a world i fucking them this republcain better stand there ground i never though i say that.. but hey something is wrong here

  • i don't want them messing up medicare for the old people i don't like that we don't all fully understand what's in there, but i'm pretty sure it's gonna go up!

  • Now if only we could get Hercules to divert the Potomac river ,we could douche out all the shit heads and assholes into the fucking ocean and start over again.

  • President of the Unities States of Israel

  • Where's the punchline? This was a gag, right?

    Check out "breaking in the boss" to see an interview with the cast of Avatar's biggest competition. Vince Neil from Motley Crue is on the same show. He's not to be confused with Sam Neil from Jurassic Park, although that guy can fuck my sister any day as well!

  • Give up - notice that no one is bothering to ask you to post them - again. No one saw them the first time.

  • Sheesh - stop already, nobody CARES

  • Would you please stop spamming the comments? Your mom must be so proud of you writing this shit.

  • Fucking Dog and Pony show.

    Anyone with a bit of sense left, can see that this is just a game.

  • I love it!

  • jjnnkjkkhkhjhjkhkjkjknkjkijjku­lkilklkkkhjhhjh

  • Al Franken was terrible at what he did for a living. He was a horrible comedian then a failed talk show host, so naturally once you are a failure the next step is politics, the only place where people that can not succeed at anything thrive. this guy is a smug punk that has convinced himself that he is better than everyone in the world and it is his right to tell everyone what to do. this worm got through life avoiding the beatings that he has coming

  • Good job Al, keep up the good work.

  • you are a punk

  • How would you know girlfriend?

  • It's about time somebody in the Senate has the cajones to shut this man down....and others too.

    Franken is a hero.....

  • you are a loser in life and support a smug elitist punk, because youve convinced yourself that you are better than everyone to fool yourself that you are not just a loser

  • Holy cow! 32 words strung together without making a complete sentence, with no capitalization or punctuation except for a misplaced comma.....

    How do you tinhatters do that? Honestly....that's almost impossible.

    Did you complete 6th grade?

  • Al Franken is a mean, ugly, arrogant person.

  • The DSemocrats dumped Lieberman because he wasn't liberal enough for them now the DipSh&t Franken thinks he is Top Dog? I don't think Franken could handle a real debate against Lieverman let alone any Moderate or Conservative.

    Franken is a joke and will do his state more harm than good.

  • Being a Minnesooootian I have nothing to say because those who represent me call me an asshole. And I will promise you, Minnesotains will be heard, will be seen, and will be feared!

  • Lieberman got shut down! As a resident of CT, I have nothing to say but

    Go Franken!

  • Dear Mr. Lieberman,

    so sorry the Dems have now gone after you're lovely wife. Mozelov sir, Haappy Channakah. god blees you sir.

    Smally is an asshole.

    bt

  • and so he proves, in one sentence, that he is a Facsist, along with being another asshole from Minnessssoooooooooooda

    Do they have schools in that state? do they actually have people that pay attn to politics? this guy should be in face paint and a big wig. it's SMALLY THE CLOWN.

    hi kiddies, I'll be helpint to spend you're lunch money for the next century!!!!!!!!!

    yippie!

  • 'What gives you the right to take someone elses money that they worked hard for just so you can keep living you're damn unhealth life style'

    People with an unhealthy lifestyle are not taking your money.

    The government is taking your money.

    Do you think if the government ended social programs your taxes would go down? Your taxes would not go down.

    It is the mark of an advanced country to provide social services for the less fortunate.

  • yes, please send in every dime u make to the treasury, they take contributions. half of everyone's pay is ALREADY GONE B 4 THEY GET IT STUPID.

    bt

    Oh, almost forgot, eat me ;)

  • Two shills in a pro-wrestling match.

  • Looks like Franken is gonna be a badly needed game changer in the Senate.

  • What's wrong with the people of Minnesota- Al Franken, really??

  • about time someone tells him to shut up, what a sellout

  • ironlogs: You can argue all day about who did what.

    Do you want the govt to control your every move? They're well on the way.

    We are on a slippery slope towards socialism.

    Can you imagine being able to bring home twice your paycheck by eliminating the govt? Paying for insurance would not be a problem. Mothers could stay home an raise their children. We wouldn't have to borrow to pay for cars. Mortgages could be paid off.

    Less goverment. They are the problem not the answer.

  • haha STFU Lieberman. Also: Fuck all of you conservatives on here =)

  • What about your opinion on the junior senator from MN shutting down the Independent Senator from CT? Typical Libtard changing the subject matter.

  • Gee, how long did it take you to come up with such a clever and original comment?

  • thats was foul fucked up rude this damn democrats do not have a back bone in them no money for medicare kill the old u know what this is why obama will be a 1 trem lame duck preisent

  • thats ok but you still don't know what a fillibuster is

  • Banks don't work for free. And Bush found a way to get them paid. That's health care reform under the Republicans. You get your "choice" of companies that will take your money without making the insurance companies capitulate in any way.

  • Then why not fix that by opening the insurance market nationwide just like people buy car and house insurance? That would be a simple fix of deregulating the insurance companies. Why not make insurance portable and not tied to your job? I know the unions don't like that one but it would be a big help. How about some tort reform so hospitals and doctors don't have to practice defensive medicine? Why not start with these fixes and go from there?

  • mcv 47 - you make some good pts, but...

    We don't need insurance companies selling wherever they want.

    We let everyone sell health insurance in Texas & about half of the companies should be driven out of the state.

    We have a few that will sell you health insurance for $20-30 per month - of course they always find one reason or another to pay nothing out.

  • The competition would put enormous pressure on the insurance companies to offer a good product at a competitive price. Why not allow health insurance to tailor their services like car insurance does and allow you to pick and chose what you want to be covered for as well as for how much? If I drove a brand new Mercedes, I would be willing to pay more for insurance than if I drove a 1991 T-Bird.

  • I am not familiar with Texas Health Insurance but if some of the companies are so bad, people will move away from them for something better, effectively putting them out of business. If the insurance market were to be wide open, what would stop you from going online and checking out all sorts of plans and choosing the one that fits your needs. You can do that with car/home insurance.

  • Think how quickly some of the changes I mentioned could be implemented. It wouldn't involve a 2000+ page pork-filled bill. Considering the bribes that had to be added to get votes, look at what that has added to the cost of this bill - indirect costs but costs none the less. LA is getting $300,000,000. NE won't have to pay their portion of Medicare but the rest of the states will have to make up the difference. This all could be so easy at least as a beginning.

  • There all the same..

  • so he's a pothead for liking franken...I guess all republicans are fucking drug addled pill poppers...oh wait I forgot..Rush is a "victim"

  • but he's a flip flopper....cant trust those right Repubs?

  • Its because its never done that NOTHING EVER GETS DONE>>FUCKING LONG WINDED IDIOTS.

    Go AL!

  • Holmes had his ten minutes so he can suck it

  • plutocracyslayer(dot)com With out the ()

    STOP THE PLUTOCRACY NOW

  • Silence.  Just like I thought. The GOP is ALL TALK. Compassionate conservatives my ass.

  • CBO Scores Final Senate Bill: How Does $2.5 Trillion Over 10 Years, $1 Trillion in New Taxes Sound?...

  • Talk about making some enemies pretty damn fast. Franken has five years to go and he is in for one hell of a ride after 2010. Isn't Stewart Smally cute though?

  • Jealous much?

  • ae911 truth dot oh are gee.

  • McCain did the same thing to Sen Byrd in 03

  • Israel did 9/11.

    Google: 911missinglinks

  • Good for Sen. Franken.......after the GOP pulled that stunt of reading the Sanders amendment aloud!

    The GOP needs to exihibit more decorum after former VP Cheney dropped the F-bomb on the Senate floor to Sen. Leahy of VT and Rep. (SC) Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst at President Obama's address to the Joint sessions of Congress.

    It is all about "rules" and Sen. Franken did the right thing....sorry former Dem. VP nominee Lieberman.....your 10 minutes are UP!!

  • Yeah - God forbid that anyone should read a bill before voting on it. The same thing happened with the "stimulus". How'd that work out?

  • @mcv47 Ford sales were up 25% from this time last year and the economy is turning around.  I'd say it's working great but that's because I am not a racist and I don't blame Obama for the GOP disaster. Racists like you do.

  • That racist bit is so last month - can't you come up with a new insult? Being a lib I'm sure have a whole stash of them somewhere....Ford may be up but how are the other ones doing? Remember, Ford didn't take the money. The GOP is not responsible for tripling the deficit in , what, 10 months?

  • how can you be so stupid,Im amazed

  • I don't see anything particularly stupid with what I said. I asked how the other car companies were doing - you know, the ones that the government owns. You didn't even bother to address that. What about all the jobs the stimulus was supposed to create? Remind me, what are those pesky unemployment rates again? And the deficit? Sorry, guy, it's not stupidity on MY part.

  • oh no you didn't sorry I was directing my comment at the BlameRepublicans clown,not you I agree with you!

  • TY!

  • The stimulus is not the reason Ford sale are. Ford sales are up because they know what they are doing dumb ass. We still have really high unempyolment which is at 10%. The stimulus has done nothing for us but waste money. Grow up and stop calling someone racist because they don't agree with Obama dumb ass.

  • lieberman please keep it concise, no babble babble.

  • Franken can go fuck himself.

  • bitchykins! OooO spot on! It also shows who watches CSPAN, as well as know the rules of the Senate & House. As Sen. Levin pointed out, a senator had been 'shut down' in the morning. AND as highlighted last night - Sen. McCain did it to Sen. Mark Dayton in 2002.

  • Franken is a typical lefty - first, be rude. Second, blame it on someone else.

  • Did the poor little idiot right winger have his feelings hurt?

  • Nope, just need to consider the source

    *flick*

  • @mcv47 The source of your thoughts? Rush Limbaugh. Any other questions?

  • What are you trying to say? Please ask your mom to help you write a decent comment.

  • Your daughter is here but her mouth is full at the moment. After she swallows she can give me her opinion.

  • Hahaha! Is this what passes as a witty "liberal" comeback? Are you an idiot or do you just play one on You Tube?

  • NeoCON bastard, would be more accurate.

  • you must live in Wallnut Grove !

    say hello to Charles and the Fam.

  • what a fuckin tool you must be!

    Al Franken I would not defend him in public ,it would make you a popular nut! stay on here where nobody can see ya!

  • "you have no frame of reference here, papp531. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know..."

    even the Big Lebowski is working against you.

  • LOL! like I said your a fuckin tool,Im reading shit you post on here and trying to pass yourself off as educated,this is funney,your support of Al Franken is all I need as proof you can not be taken serious,chat with your fellow libs pal and stay on you tube where your secret is safe! LOL!
