Sounds like another successful theft of an election and one more rubber stamp on bills that no one has time to read.

This just proves our courts do not work. If it takes 8 months to seat him after coleman was declared the winner originaly something is wrong.

And the democrats cried about Bush?

Interesting to read the posts from the obstructionist, terrorist supporting conservatives, who hate this country! Impossible for them to think for themselves without the brain washing of the "fox entertainment" channel and "oxy-rush" on the radio. You lemmings would fit better in Iran than in this country.

Please keep posting the picture of Franken barechested, in a diaper with his legs spread apart.

What a jerk.

The citizens of Minnesota should reflect on the thousands of American lives invested in our freedoms and right to vote. Voting should be a cherished act, rather than a sophomoric prank.

I think it's hilarious that "Fox News!" has become some sort of angry lefty war cry.

This guy held what office before becoming a US Senator?... and he managed what? Oh...he wrote jokes and books and was on television. Makes "community organizer" or whatever President Obama was look like brain surgery, rocket science and quantum physics put together!

I'm sorry, I must've missed it. Did Senator Franken tell his staff he was hiking the Appalachian Trail and instead travel to Argentina to meet with his mistress while simultaneously preaching the importance of Family Values and Fidelity? Or did he sleep with a campaign staffer, who is the wife of his friend? Or did he abort his term as Governor?

The people of Minnesota are just proving themselves to be a bunch of bumbling idiot voters. They actually elected this baboon to the US SENATE!!! Just unbelievable. I've heard his radio show and read some of his book.

I hope next time they elect Ronald McDonald. If they keep this up, they might overshadow Illinois for political embarassment. It will be tough, but they are on their way.

Al Franken is a left-wing boob. How can you take a Senator seriously when you have seen his work over the past 20 years? I am so embarassed for Minnesota.

Seems you've forgotten that we had a B actor in the White House. And don't forget about the fake cowboy.

I'd rather have a good comedian in the Senate. At least good comedians are intelligent.

Why is it when Sonny Bono was a rushpublican Congressman, everything was swell, and when Sonny cracked jokes at meetings everyone laughed along and liked the humor? Now its a Democrat and the connies have their panties in a bunch? Ah yes, I know why - IOKIYAR. Talk about PC.

Another clown in Bo Bo the Presidential Clown's clown posse. May they could paint the presidential limo all sorts of bright colors and Bo Bo, Al, Harry, Barney, and the Joker (Nazi Pelosi) could load up and take that act on the road.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Aquarius

Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behavior lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer.
