i love that there is the raw video for reference so no one can take any statements out of context... keep up the great work senator franken... the government needs more rational and reasonable people like you... and most importantly... people as empathetic as you.

@samten10a Maybe but point me to a senator who doesn't do this when they want to get a point across? I don't support most of Franken's views but what I like about him is he is willing to put himself out there, buck the status quo, and support what he believes is good. The only other politician I see doing this is Ron Paul.

I don’t like the senator as a comic. The few videos that are here. I don’t like his politics in general.

He seem to get the people he is questioning sound like they are lying and/or the fool and unqualified to the point that person should be removed from the job.

I suspect that the videos that are here are cherry picked to paint him in that light. To reflect that he is some one that wants the true facts and nothing but the facts. I suspect that other congress people do the same.

I comment Franken for this. This is BORING, MINOR crap--and it's just the kind of stuff that senators SHOULD be working on: we need GOVERNMENT SERVANTS willing to grind through this kind of stuff, rather than trying to grandstand for reporters while actually doing nothing constructive.

Franken OBVIOUSLY is there to try to do a good job and be responsible. Given that, I care much less about his actually political ideology. At least he's not a lazy bastard.

if you don't like him, don't watch the video. or if you must, don't leave inane comments. if you're going to comment negatively, at least have it be a criticism with some validity. not some dumb insult.
