Am I the only one who thinks Franken could play the Joker in the next Batman movie, not needing makeup? The guy’s mouth is really, ummm, I don’t know, different?

Let’s see. If you or I failed to pay taxes in 17 states, where would we be today?

Running for political office. Natch. Unless you weren’t a lefty, then you’d be in for a long stay at the iron bar motel.

Franken is a fool AND a tool. I bet Norm Coleman’s team is just having a blast smacking him down. Such an easy target, the Stuart Smalley.

Ya gotta understand, it was a JOKE. Remember, Franken is a “comedian”. Ha ha.

No offense, but I feel sorry for Minnesotans if Franken is actually considered a viable candidate there.

Just remember, this is the same state that elected Jesse Ventura.

Hey, we also produced Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale! We live in a beautiful state with over 100,000 lakes, a great economy, low crime rate outside the cities and we have managed to keep most of the creeps from New York and California from soiling our state (our interstates actually don’t have discarded beds and trash on them).

We do have a contingent of PBS and NPR listeners however that are striving to save the planet, buy organic, wear earth shoes and create a total Nanny State for the rest of us bitter clingers…

Al Franken:

Not good at funny.

Even worse at serious.

And a bad liar to boot.

Aw thanks but remember…. this is the state that let Jesse Ventura be governor…. is Franken such a stretch?… Scary, admittedly, but not unusual here in the state where nothing is allowed.

$600 for 1 bedroom thats pretty expensive..

not sure what Franken-beens is complaining about.

Yep, that is expensive, especially for a small room.

Meant to write:

(you can’t say “funny” or “comedian” when talking about Franken, he’s a satirist, ok).

I know. Isn’t it great?!

BacaDog on August 14, 2008 at 2:46 PM

I’m just hoping he doesn’t win. That would be embarrassing and not satirical (you say “funny” or “comedian” when talking about Franken, he’s a satirist, ok).

No, Scarlett is taking the same role that Marilyn Monroe had in the JFK administration.

He has another ad running that is supposed to showcase his foreign policy credentials, it consists of bragging that he has made seventeen USO tours.

I saw that. Hasn’t Scarlett Johansson worked with the USO? Does that mean she’s in the running for Obama’s VP?
