What is wrong with the people in Minnesota that something as foul as Franken might win? Good place not to live.

This is the Face of the Enemy, folks: This is what we are up against. Franken and his pathetic, ridiculous bitch-boy gangsta-lawyer are the essense of the modern Democratic Party and many liberal 527 and other groups

This is no joke: this is what they are.

If we don’t defeat them, they will ruin us–by making us more like them. Some of you fence-sitters and picky “McCain’s not conservative enough” people need to wise up, wake up, etc

Anyone who supports Franken really couldn’t care less. They applaud him for it.

Someone could easily get video of Al Franken losing it. He isn’t careful. All you have to do is go to a rally where he is, confront him verbally, and he goes ballistic. He cannot contain himself. The same demeanor sank Mike Hatch’s chances for governer in MN. And it’s not like you couldn’t get close to the guy – NO ONE shows up for his little get-togethers.

I am so happy we won. You can count on the DFL to stay classy!

Any chance Jason Mattera could get up there to interview Franken and Titelman? He works well with “special needs” people…

WOW!

You know, There used to be standards in politics. I guess The liberals pushed that envelope way, way too far.

He actually kissed the camera! I guess trial lawyers just can’t keep it in their pants when publicity is available. John Edwards, your soulmate is somewhere in the land of 1,000 lakes.

Two words:

Over compensation.

As a graduate of the Oprah school of amateur psychology, I’d wager that Al has some “personal issues” he needs to work out.

Unfortunately, he seems to have settled on his political ambitions as a “justification” for acting the way he does; like OJ, if he has a problem, it’s that he cares about “the little guy” too much. And “enablers” like Upyourassbuddy, esquire just help him prolong this self-delusion.

Al’s joining Rosie O’Donnell and Al Gore on my “seriously and sincerely, seek counseling” list.

The trick is that if you gave him the beating that he so desperately needs, you suffer the pain $.

The only way to handle this Titleman is to engage in his tactic, and force him into a confrontation. He thinks he’s bad enough that he can put hands on somebody? I’d consider it assault and lay his ass out.
Being nice to him won’t work. He needs to be confronted and forced to throw the first punch, or shove. Then all bets are off.

Man, that cameraman could have had some fun provoking that lawyer. Probably could have gotten him to take a swing at him..

‘Your name is ‘Up your a**buddy?’ Man, I’d hate to go to jail with a name like that. So, I can say I was asked to leave by a Mr. A**buddy?’ It might have been painful but it would have gotten a sweet set of charges to drop on that lawyer. Plus, he could have hit him with the camera in self defense. Win win.

I always thought that was Jim Belushi?

Belushi played a party goer in the train car. Stuart played the dopey skycap (or whatever you call them on trains), who put the villian in with the ape.

Seems to me Al threw a chair at somebody at CPAC a few years back. He was a guest on G. Gordon Liddy’s show and was upset that there was another guest to counter him and he didn’t like that.

I didn’t see it and I don’t remember the details. Does anybody remember the facts about that? All I know was that he was very angry and abusive, cause gosh darn it, people like him.

If Minnesotans are dumb enough to elect a knucklehead like that, they deserve all the derision people in Iowa give them. Franken is as funny as a gut full of pinworms and as savory.

His career peaked when he starred with that gorilla in “Trading Places”.

being foulmouthed has its place. On camera is not the place. Not if you want any sympathy.
