The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled today that Democrat Al Franken won the U.S. Senate election and said he was entitled to an election certificate that would lead to him being seated in the Senate. "Affirmed," wrote the Supreme Court, unanimously rejecting Republican Norm Coleman's claims that inconsistent practices by local elections officials and wrong decisions by a lower court had denied him victory.
Enuf is enuf
Compared to the joke Franken: YES
JR
It's funny how you bring up bribery for a reason not to reelect when the Dems circled the wagons and reelected William Jefferson, D-La after he was found wth $90,000 of bribe money in his freezer.
JR
No, but Al Fraken? Is that the best MN can do??
tom
Minnesota of course also elected that crazy woman, Michelle Bachmann, to the House.
zacken
JR, didn't MN also elect Jesse (THe Body ) Venture too?

At least he's honest; he's the first to admit he's a comedian!
Enuf is enuf
Franken honest? Anyone who knows will not put those two words together.

So, Stuart Smalley as Senator: problem. Professor Peter Boyd as President: best thing in American history. Thanks for clearing that up.

American voters have gone mad.

No hiding now. Hes in the spotlight.
We'll see how that goes. He is working for the puppet master now.

The GOP and Coleman should be required to fund the "back pay" to Senator Franken from 1.20.2009 to the present for their obstruction....
Ken in Atlanta
Love that idea. Frankin reparations. I want mine too. My family used to be heirs to the throne of England. Way before that, we were slaves. So somebody owes me. HA HA
I'm going to be a great comrade!
zacken
MN Valley, why don't you elect Dffy Duck too???
Dianne
It was a close vote and votes were not counted. Coleman had every right to recheck the counts. Franken would have the same right if the votes were for Coleman. This is America, not Iran!
LegalKate
You insult the Iranians who are actually trying to become a democracy - you insult Americans by suggesting we are not a democracy.
madascavs
No, Dianne, sadly this is now Iran and it's time for all sane people who want to take their country back to hit the streets!
MN Valley
Unlike the 2000 Florida presidential recount, when judges broke along ideological lines, the Minnesota judges hailed from all political stripes and issued clear unanimous decisions - failing to give Coleman an opening by issuing a dissenting opinion.
-
Minnesota election law was remarkably clear in spelling out the procedures for a recount in reviewing ballots to be considered and accepted, ensuring that the now infamous questions over punch-card ballots and hanging chads in 2000 wouldn’t be repeated.
JR
An All Star wrestler ( who always sounds like he wants to body slam somebody) for Governor, and a washed up comedian for Senator. What's next for the dog and pony show in MN? What the heck is going on up there? I bet we could put a rock on a stump and call it a democrat and MN would vote for it.
zacken
JR you can not reason with a stump and we know MN has a lot of those for sure!
JR
MN Valley,
I'm pretty sure that neither Jesse or Al is or ever will be a Ronald Reagan
MN Valley
Well - we do live in the land of opportunity even if you want to create a Serfdom.
And what President was a B movie star and shared a billing with a chimpanzee?

That is SENATOR Stuart Smalley to you Fox Nation !
HAHAHAHAHA
Robert J.
That fool will never be a "senator" to anyone but himself. He's a waste of time and money. Always was, always will be.
LegalKate
He has a senate vote and you don't. That makes him a SENATOR.
Ken in Atlanta
I feel like I live in Iran.
Can you say fraudulent election.
Don't worry, we still have our guns and religion.

Plus, you can come to Tennessee and carry you guns and bibles into bars. Such a progressive hillbillydom we have here!

HE is a very smart man who WON, and Coleman, the Rethug, LOST.

They come out of the woodwork like hungry termites in defense of "Smalley"
The dumber the liberal candidate, the harder they defend him. He's a washed up comedian and a washed up "air america" announcer "Hack".
The corrupt A.C.O.R.N. (aka) C.O.I....Cheated...That's right CHEATED. in the election....A.C.O.R.N. (aka) C.O.I is under investigation for voter fraud....That's the liberal way!

Bette -- no, if it was a joke we would be talking about Sarah Palin. Now there's a joke for you.
Bette
I believe you must be totally insane to vote for a broken down comedian, or even defend or support this illegitimate election. I know he fits in with the rest of the Dems and is possibly more intelligent than Pelosi and Waxman and the rest, but be honest, this is yet another joke.
Obama the Antichrist
