What a load of crap. If the Social Security has to be contacted by a US Senator, the US Senator needs to dig into what the hell is going on in that department. Norm would never even think to say that Bush's Washington needs new blood like he should have!! We need REAL change, Obama and Al Franken!!

[thedeets]

This ad is absurd. Do you honestly believe that ANY Senator wouldn't have done the same thing?

This does nothing to explain why Norm deserves another 6 years in DC.

I guess all those people who didn't get checks are happy for you Rick Wrong.

I am glad we have been able to bridge the gap.

"As for your language, well I am glad that your behavoir and language is modeled after Cheney and O'Reilley." It looks as though we can at least agree on something if not agree to disagree on anything else. I think we can also agree that our (mostly) civilized debate is what makes this country great.

Between Coleman and Franken, Franken is still the carpetbagger. Norm Coleman has lived in Minnesota twice as long as Franken ever has, and did not move there just to run for office.

As for your language, well I am glad that your behavoir and language is modeled after Cheney and O'Reilley.

I don't recall saying Franken was born in Minnesota. Just watch out there, Pot, before you start calling calling Kettle black. Liberals are not the only ones prone to "offensive language." There's Cheney telling a senator to "Go fuck yourself." Then there's Bill O'Reilly hosting "Inside Edition" flipping out over writing on a teleprompter before blurting out "Fuck it! We'll do it live! ... Fuckin' thing sucks!" Last time I checked, they both gag at the very mention of the word "liberal."

[Namzso1]

Leave it to a liberal to start with the offensive language. When exactly did Air America or Franken beat Limbaugh in the ratings? Nationally? In what top ten market?

Al Franken was not born in Minnesota. Sorry to break it to you. He lived here a few years in grade school and high school, left and never returned until he failed at radio and decided to run for Senate. Coleman has been a Minnesota resident for 32 years. You bud, are full of shit.

Different footage, same story, same theatrical reactions. Telling a story the same way, comedians do it all the time. Being one, I should know.

[tommyers]

I hate to lose the tone of civility here, but you are full of shit. Al Franken could very well be one of the greatest political satirists of this new century. Air America reached several terrestrial stations across the country and even has a home on Sirius Satellite Radio, which no doubt helped Franken's show beat "Ditto" Limbaugh in ratings. If you want to talk about carpetbagging, take a gander at where Norm Coleman was born. That's right, it wasn't near any of the 10,000 lakes.

[Namzso1]

I did rebuke what you said. Al Franken is a failed radio host. He had no ratings, and Air America was in bankrupt when he left to carpetbag Minnesota. Air America is still broadcasting but that does not mean it is popular or a success. "Outfoxed" - yea there is a fair documentary.

[tommyers]

I notice you did not rebuke anything I said. Air America was partially responsible for making the right-wing conglomeration of Rupert Murdoch tone down their Conservative agenda (see "Outfoxed") and, as I stated before, Air America is still broadcasting.
