    small is an apt description, a small-minded, small man.

    Its amazing that anyone would vote for this clown, but I’ve come to realize a lot of people would vote for Hitler as long as he had a D after his name on the ballot…

    This is why I like animals more than people at times. There are enough feel good, socialist citizens of MN that could put this putz in office. I mean look what passes for human in the Congress now… Amy Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, Tim Walz, Jim Ramstad, Jim Oberstar, Betty McCollum…. they all are usleless shills fo Democrap ideology and Ramstad is a Republican…. so we conservatives in MN are afraid, very afraid.

    Wait…

    Is there any indication or proof that Franken had any hand in or even had knowledge of what Air America was doing?

    Cause I didn’t see anything to that effect in the linked story.

    Or is the issue more that he hasn’t railed against his (former?) employer as well?

    sure is..

    According to a November 2004 settlement agreement between former Air American head honchos Evan Cohen and Rex Sorensen and Air America’s current owners and investors at Piquant LLC, Al Franken was smack dab in the middle of negotiations over the debts owed by the liberal radio network–including the Gloria Wise loan. The agreement was signed to clear the decks in advance of the questionable asset transfer from Air America’s old owners, Progress Media and Radio Free America, to Piquant. (This is the transfer being challenged by Multicultural Radio Broadcasting Inc. as a “fraudulent conveyance,” which we first reported exclusively in the first installment in our investigative blog series, “A Trail of Debts.”)

    Angry Al we call him here. To have him in the Senate would be an embarrassment to Minnesota, a man who thinks its okay to write articles for porn magazines is endorsed by the Teachers Union? That tells you more about the Teachers Union than it does Al Franken.

    MNUSMCDavid (#3) is right, much of the Minnesota delegation is an embarrassment, Betty McCollum stood up for a few moments against Al, but in the end capitulated and endorsed him. There is a wonderful young man running against her, a CPA and Lawyer, he would be just the person to have in office right now with Michele Bachmann to talk some sense on Financial Issues -

    You beat me to it. He didn’t pay his franchise taxes here in CA either. And he wants to be in the Senate. Should fit right in with the requirements for Democrats - Unethical, immoral. Perfect.

    A lot indeed! I hope the people in Minnesota do the right thing and send this bitter, hate-filled man back to NYC in November.

    Sounds like a perfect resume to me. He should be elected in a landslide. If he does crack with a prostitute, he can be assured of being reelected for life (as long as he keeps that coveted (D) after his name.

    Does Air America still exist? Thier station here is now a sports station. I turned to it on one of its last days, how sad, it was a local commentator Stacey Taylor, and for a large city everyone who called him, he knew the caller. It was like, hey everybody Mike is on the line, good to talk to you again, now we have Susan, she has been a loyal listener for some time, everyone was familiar and everyone was angry….LOL.

    Our conservative local radio guys, like Roger Hedgecock, he gets a few multiple callers, but most of the people who call in are first timers. If I was running for office and really had nothing more than SNL and Air America on my resume, I would be ashamed.

    Democrat kills his pregnant girlfriend and gets away with it.
    Democrat hides bribe money in his freezer and gets away with it.
    Democrat runs a prostitution ring from his office and gets away with it.
    Democrat commits statutory rape with a male teenaged staffer and gets away with it.

    Al Franken loots a charity to prop up his failing radio program and gets away with it. He sounds like a good Democrat to me.

    Is the Stuart Smalley character portrayed by Franken supposed to be gay, or an effeminate mama’s boy? I think it is the former.

    Why is it that liberal celebrities can get away with making fun of gay people, and it isn’t considered “homophobic,” but when a conservative talks about their opposition to that lifestyle, it IS considered “homophobia?”

    Which Republican leader had a slip of the tongue on the air, and referred to Barney Frank as Barney Fag? He was soundly condemned by the “compassionate” Democrats in the House for letting his “true” nature and hatred for gays to slip out…but if you’re liberal and say something worse…well, it’s okay…you were just tired, or mis-spoke, or were taken out of context….

    …y-e-a-h!

    The Democrat Party membership would welcome Franken with open arms, for he is just another poison-spewing asp, in a great pit of asp holes.

    As long as the Frankenfish stays in Minnesota all is well. They deserve each other. He would be good on the Bailout issue though–he does not like to pay his bills either.

    Listening to the Radio Sean Hannity is taking a beating for his interview with Governor Palin.

    Yes, the sisyboys and manlygirls are worried. How about lgm, are you worried?

    Let’s see…Al Frank N Furter completely ran his Air America out of gas, now he wants to do the same for his country? Frightening, indeed. He makes the late Paul Wellstone look like Barry Goldwater.

    Ditto on Franken getting this far.

    But, we are not all bad here in MN. Understand we live in one of the most socialist states in the USA!

    Appears there is a reason our state bird is a LOON!

    The Sept. 23 Real Clear Politics poll shows Coleman +7 over Franken.
