Al Franken: Dumber Than We Thought
By Wyatt Earp | July 17, 2009
Leave it to Al Franken to prove conservatives right. This guy is a complete and utter joke that has no business being a senator – let alone being on the Judiciary Committee. To wit:
Via Greg Hengler, the Al Franken decade begins. Geraghty thinks he should be using his camera time to build credibility, but let’s face it: No one’s looking to Al Franken for intellectual fireworks, especially after umpteen dreary hours of Sotomayor lying her ass off about how she didn’t mean what she clearly meant with the “wise Latina” crap. If he keeps his head down and provides a few occasional moments of comic relief, he’ll be okay. Frankly, I’m disappointed he didn’t tell her she’s good enough, she’s smart enough, and doggone it, people like her.
Believe it or not, this wasn’t the dumbest question asked by a senator from Minnesota today. (H/T – Hot Air)
Are you sitting down? You will want to after you hear Franken wasting everyone’s time asking this question:
Hey, thanks for that, Minnesota. You folks are the laughingstock of the country. Hell, California is laughing at you morons now!

He makes Jesse “The Body” seems like a genius.

Hey, kool-aid drinkers of Minnesota! Nobody can take this clown you sent to the Senate seriously.

He is trying to build credibility — as a comedian.

I must disagree with your post title. He’s exactly as dumb as I thought he was.

Great. Now Senator Al Franken has lived up to his epitaph: The Senate’s Bad Joke. And in record time, too!

Rodney – . . . and Confused.
Mrs. Crankipants – And he makes an ass out of himself on his first day in the spotlight!
Randal – I thought “The Genius” was Lanny Poffo?
MeToo – In one fell swoop, he embarrassed the entire state.
Marvin – He may have . . . if the comment was funny. It was idiotic.
Doghouse – Touche’.
Morgan – Makes you forget all about Boxer, Reid, and Pelosi, huh?
Rick007 – Quite apropos.

Only until Boxer, Reid and Pelosi pull some kind of crap. Doesn’t take long to wait for those moments to come.

OMFG! My head hurts. I’ll never watch Perry Mason again and not hurl!
BTW – posting this on Republican Spyglass!

Al Franken demonstrates one thing. Stupid people now have serious representation in the U.S. Senate.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
I agree with what Doghouse said. He is as dumb as I thought too.

Norm Coleman won the election.
The Democrats and Acorn rigged the recount and outspent Coleman.
Franken was selected, not elected.

Morgan – That’s the beauty of politics – there’s always another idiot right around the hall.
BA – Yeah, it is the epitome of idiocy.
Bob – Whoo hoo, I’m represented!
Admiral – And then some.
Punslinger – Just like Franken’s “buddy” George Bush. Heh.
