  • That is one of the main reasons I respond well to someone, like Mr. Franken, who pays homage to the Constitution.

  • I have a hard time with most of the right wingers. But, to tell the truth, I'm getting a little disenchanted by the two party system, as a whole, lately. If we could take the lobbyists, their money, and the disproportionate amount of influence it gets them, out of the equation I believe our government would have A LOT more integrity and that it would be more inclined to do what's best for the citizens.

  • While I do not know your personal feelings are for Right Wing officials but as many liberal media and other Liberal hatchet men have point out about Sarah Palin--no matter what a political oaths a person have taken or achievements done, when someone acts what they perceive as a clown, talks like a clown, then they must be ...... ---either way America citizens are the looser.

  • Care you explain why electing a Harvard-bred political thinker (who even in the days when he was on SNL cared more about issues and politics than anyone who ever met him) is a bad thing?

    Should we not have elected Reagan because some of his movies were bad? Should we disqualify Obama for his job because he smokes occasionally?

    What the hell is wrong with you?

  • If it is your intention to present this "award" based on performance, knowledge, and/or competence, you probably needn't look much farther than Senator Sessions.

  • I love it! This man sits there and makes a point of paying homage to our nation's Constitution and the oath of service he's taken to it. He declares with humility, eloquence, and utter respect for the United States and our system of government that he takes his oath seriously . As a result, some individuals feel the need to sign on and suggest that this is, somehow, a bad thing.

  • What a disgrace Washington has become...

  • It is getting harder and harder to give out the Senator Moron of the Month award.

    This month we must vote Chuck Schumer vs SNL Franken vs Dianne Feinstein.

  • What a joke.  I thought Jesse Ventura was the lowest we could go, apparently not.
