Al Franken Wins Seat

No story yet, Just came over the teewee. YAY

The sore loser of all time can take this to Fed Court if he wants, but Franken must be seated now, and after that it's up to the Senate, so it's prolly a waste of his money, and you know how Republicans are about that that if its not ours and for killing someone.

re: Al Franken Wins Seat

Well--what can we expect out of Minnisotans. They elected a governor--Jesse Ventura-- that believed 9/11 was an "inside" job--who just couldn't understand how those twin towers collapsed.

Now they have elected "Batman's---the "Joker"--of which use to be the commentator for the failed liberal radio station "Air America"--who got in a lot of trouble for not paying the required workman's compensation on his employees--& certainly did not offer medical insurance to them.

CONGRATS--Minnesotans--you-- have shown us again--your special political intellect by electing morons.

Something even remotely relevant to the thread topic called for you. Didn't leave any messages.

Oreo, you misspelled "people who disagree with me are morons". Don't worry, we can still understand what you meant, despite the typo.


YAY! 5000th post!

After eight years of hearing liberals crybabies whine about Al Gore getting robbed, I think it is hilarious any of you would call anyone else a sore loser...hilarious. So what did you win? A joke named Stuart Smiley, you should be real proud of this moron, he is just about the perfect caricature of a brain dead liberal.

Hopefully it was either Cesar Romero or Heath Ledger. They're both still far more capable, and coherent, than Al Franken.

Must be all that fresh beer...
First MN elects an ex-wrestler - who couldn't find his way out of a room with only two walls, now a well known, but only a marginally successful comedian and failed radio host....what's next?

Don't forget Mark Hammill, who's been voicing the animated Joker for nearly two decades now.

Although, I'd have absolutely no problem with anyone electing Luke Skywalker.

Gore was a non-sore winner, as he both won the popular vote by half a million and didn't dispute the court's findings, despite its being wrong. It was his rush to concede "graciously", IMO, that gave the conservatives on the court an "out" to overturn the will of the people in favor of an elitiist few.

And look what it got us.

Yeah, the man won by around what, 500 votes? Yeah, we all went along willingly. Do me a favor and go play in traffic.

Congratulations John. I myself was never a fan, preferring Phil Hartman and Chris Farley.

No such thing as the 'lighter side' anymore.
