[vgcq02]

Fillinuster proof for about a year.

[Sumoto999]

Wow. I can not believe this guy got elected. Well thats democracy. even if he did win by just 300 votes out of millions. ..... Minnesota is fucked.

[Ulai777]

Politics is show business for ugly people, way to go Al, you have a 6 year gig!

[gto088]

Being from MN i'm pretty embarrassed to have this man representing my state...

[joesphx19]

So we should not be any more upset that this pretender stole an election for the U

S Senate, after all, the big prize was taken by a muslim thief from Africa. I swear we have been asleep in some nighrmarish episode of the Twilight Zone.

Send in the clown

[genusrightwingus]

I'm gonna go vomit now!

[Moredread25]

Who's the guy who's escorting him? I recognise his other escort as the Senior Senator from Minnesota, but not that guy.

[sparle222]

[aidsgz]

Walter Mondale, former Senator of Minnesota, VP under Carter, and Democratic Presidential Nominee (1984).

[amylNRG]

Franken for President, 2016!

[xj2yzz]

Are you sick?

[hiodr]

the ultimate joke of his career, and, sadly, at our expense.

[MiamiIndianTribe]

WE RUN THE COUNTRY

[dlohse]

A thoroughly decent and hard working man has been seated as the junior senator from Minnesota.  Congratulations Senator Al Franken.

[Jerseysson27]

YEAH, GO GET EM' AL! MAKE OUR NATION proud! You in charge now!

[weavrmom]

Been rooting for this decent, hardworking, and extremely intelligent man for a long time. He will help reframe the debate in the Senate, and help the American people fight the Washington lobbyist mindset.

Congratulations to a gentleman and a true patriot!

O'Reilly couldn't get elected dog catcher.

[kz10863]

[leesagrrl]

[SE779]

A sad day in the history of our country.

[obamadidit2008]

not for me it isn't

[SechyoolarYOOESAY]

For the conservamorons yes....

[daddymak9]

You're right. It's sad that it's taken 8 months for Al Franken to be sworn in to the office he won in November 2008.

[SE779]

Al Franken is an IDIOT, pure and simple.

[cyrannodb]

Ahem, that's SENATOR Idiot. So suck on that. LOLROFLBBQ!

Dork.

[SE779]

cyrannodb, in response to your comment, kiss my ass f*cker.

[daddymak9]

If Al Franken, who graduated from Harvard, is an idiot, it doesn't say much about Norm Coleman. Say it with me one more time, Senator Al Franken!!!!

[SE779]

Hey, you who bask in the warmth and cool breeze of Comrade Obama and the Democratic Taliban can take that noise and shove it.

[MelvinFrohike]

Freaking Awesome. Glad I kept the faith.

[GimmeSomeTruth1971]

@MelvinFrohike

Too bad he ended up being a pro-war sell-out.

[TruegamerGirl]

@MelvinFrohike that is a long applause good luck al

[ronh1936]

Eat your heart out O'Reilly who has already slammed him with smears " ... a sad day for America. Al Franken is now a US Senator. [...] Al Franken is a blatantly dishonest individual, a far-left zealot, he is not qualified to hold any office, the man traffics in hate on his failed Air America Program, want proof? Check out page 96 in my book 'Culture Warrior'. With people like Franken on the hill this country is in deep trouble"

That's what the slimebag O'Reilly has to say.

[AmberJohnson2103]

nice to see mondale

[nygoodguy]

good luck al
