  • It's hilarious how the neo-cons are freaking out about this guy and slandering the man WHEN EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN OF EVERY KING IS EXACTLY LIKE HIM.

  • In hindsight, Al Franken should have been sworn in months ago, but oh well, all's well that ends well as they say. Congratulations Senator!

  • What next Senators from the circus? Franken is like the liberal Palin. Their both ignorant and inept

  • Most of the people of Minnesota must be very STUPID.

    I am from Connecticut and we have a lot of STUPID people who vote also.

    Ignorance is gonna cost America a price we are unable to pay.

    ONLY God's mercy on America can prevent what is coming.

    Democrat Party Theme Song:

    By, By Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry, and good ol boys ..........

  • This guy is a disgusting zhid that couldn't make it as either a talk show host or a comedian. Al will fit right in.

  • Michael Richards is a comedian too, but you wouldn't expect him to become a senator after his remarks toward black people. How does this guy get the OK to become a Senator after all the toilet jokes on "Saturday Night Live"?.... Where are the morals of true leaders???

  • That is right you are not #1 you stupid bitch. 2008 and 2009 are your bad years sh-t head. Al Franken is NOT a comedian. He owns ANN COULTER everytime he has a chance. He is a debater, a good American and the newest senator. face it backwater f-ckwad. You just got f-cked in the pooper by 60 DEMS. HA!

  • great a comedian as a senator can barely be sworn in with a straight face. this country is goin down the pooper

  • Congratulations, Al Franken!

  • Duuuuh, I think so? What's a Senator?

  • I hoped this day would never come. The Democrats now have a Super Majority, and I am very worried about what they will do with it.
