@flipper1611 bought for and paid by the Faux Outlet, right? LOL...Personally, I'll take someone behaving like a goofball on one occasion (plus apologizing) than a 24/7 obstructionist GOP partisan shrill immature baby having not once apologized to the American people for failing to put their concerns first as opposed to carrying out a petty vendetta against the current President. It's not Obama's fault that Palin made the GOP loss all that easier in 2008.

@RushLimborg *slaps self* Sorry. I took your username, the other comments here, and a misreading of your comment and assumed you were attacking Rush Limbaugh. I didn't read who you were responding to, nor did I realize that the unspecified "man" you referred to was Franken, which is definitely clearer after re-reading the comment.

I'll be more careful next time, rather than just pulling a knee-jerk defense of the man.

@TimThomason Clearly, I was condemning Al Franken for calling Rush that. I'm a big fan of Rush...so I actually agree with you, 100%.

@RushLimborg Hey! Rush Limbaugh isn't a "big fat idiot". I'm sick of all these people making base judgments on people they disagree with. You don't like Rush Limbaugh, fine. But don't make statements critical of his weight and intelligence. At least not without proper citation or something.

@flipper1611 At least he's smart and rational. And calling a senator 'anti-american' is just fox news paranoid shittalk.

@chrisman737

Absolutely. Now...WHO says he's a voice of common sense who is serving his constituents with An Impossibly High Standard of integriy and decency?

The man is a JOKE! He's been a joke ever since his piece of trash full of half-truths and bald-faced-lies abour Rush Limbaugh being a big fat idiot (and other made-up observations). *sigh*

franken is just the latest example of the anti-Americanism so prominent in our government today. i say he is no more patriotic than the traitors pelosi, reid, shumer and dodd. they want to say how much they love America but it is so clear the opposite is true. whats even worse is that franken is allowed to preside over the senate. i dont think our government can go much lower than that.
