He will be the 60th Senator in the democratic caucus. *woot woot*

Can you say "shove that filibuster up your ass"? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thank the GOP for chasing Spectre out of their Caucus. :2 cents:

Damit...

I thought this post was going to be about Rush Limprod dying to a pill overdose in a cheap hotel dressed up as a tranny.

That's my guess as who the next celb will be that dies and how..

I bet Franken winning a Senate seat nearly gave Limbaugh an stroke. He is going to need a heavy dose of Oxycontin and Guatemalan hookers to get over this.

Limbaugh is an idiot. However, Hannity is the worst and most insane of the lot.

you must not have seen glenn beck lately.. :2 cents:

You guys actually like Franken? Honestly? lmao Sorry I am just NOT a fan of Stuart Smalley being in a place of power.. lol And I haven't listed to Rush for at least 5 years so don't give a shit about all that. lol Franken? REALLY? seriously.. Janeane Garofalo next? lol

Is it just like some mini dem vs Repub battle for you? Honestly.. I mean really honestly.. this is someone you want in a decision making appointment? really??? :helpme

If Ronald Reagan can be President and Arnold Schwarzenegger can be a governor, then Al Franken can be a Senator.

Franken wrote his own stuff, that makes him 10 times smarter than the guys who only have to read off of cue cards.

who cares

Obviously you do since you took the time to post in the thread.

Actually I am not a huge fan of Franken. I think he has said some funny stuff in the past, but he comes off as smug and I find him kind of annoying. When I heard he was running for Senate I figured he had no chance in hell, but his win really shows what poor shape the republican party is in in many parts of the country.

I have no idea about where he stands politically, but I can't stand Rush Limbaugh so I find humor in this whole thing knowing he must be turning himself inside out.

I wouldn't ever compare Franken to Reagan.. Schwarzenegger is even a stretch for me. lol

Have you seen Reagan's movies? Almost as many laughs as Franken but for different reasons. Anything that boils Rush's blood, I'm all for it!

Franken is an obnoxious and arrogant buffoon......... so he should feel right at home in the US Senate.

word! :thumbsup

Now there will be no excuse for not pushing through issues like health care.

Woo Hoo Norm Coleman can suck it!

Nah.

Don't get me wrong, Republicans are fucked, but Franken winning is more about Minnesota being Minnesota.

Remember, Jessie "the body" Ventura was governor there. :2 cents:

u forgot pill popping bastard

That is true. Minnesota does have a pretty good history of doing some wild stuff.

I guess I thought the way I do because when he first started to run there was a lot of talk about how people wouldn't vote for him because he was being perceived as a guy from there who left and only came back because he felt he could convince them to vote for them.

But I guess in politics you never know what is going to happen.

:2 cents:

Stuart Smalley was alot of years ago...

Says the republican homo who harbors runaways.

Franken is intelligent, politically aware and has always been politically active. Reagan was a douche who committed treason and let his lackeys fall on his sword for it. Schwartzenegger has run California straight into bankruptcy.

It takes some serious denial or reality or just outright stupidity to be a Republican these days. Or ever. When have the conservatives EVER been on the right side of an issue?

Republicanism isn't a political philosophy at this point, it's a personality disorder.

In Arnie's defense, California's fucked up ballot initiative system and other things are the reason the state is bankrupt.

I'm not big on being a republican apologist, but in Arnie's case he doesn't deserve (all) the blame.

I think if anything the current situation is a vindication for Gray Davis. California is pretty much ungovernable.
Unless property tax laws are changed, or until you can raise taxes with a simple majority in the legislature, California is going to continue to be fucked.

I have no problem with him. But some people seem to think the pretend tv stuff is the sum of the person.. lol. THATS funny.

I flipped to fox news last evening in time to see glen beck talking to some anchor at a news set table, and he was saying "you would want ME as senator? ME? Someone like ME?" and I was thinking no Glen, not someone like you. Al Franken.

The guy was forcing the premise on you that franken is just some idiot from tv (like beck). lmao. The joke was on him the whole time and he didnt even get it.

OMG!, if you let the social Democrats who run this state, be allowed to rax taxes by a simple majority, then this state is truly over. I have lived here most of my life and Prop 13 was passed because of seniors were losing their houses because they could not pay the property taxes.

Hell no, if they can't get a 2/3rds vote then they should not be able to pass anything. They can't stop spending money and this is the reason. They have spent way to much money on nothing.
