No Joke! Stuart Smalley Headed to Senate!
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.

RIDONKULOUS!!!

DEMOCRATS WILL NOW HAVE THE MAJORITY TO OVERCOME REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTERS. This is worrisome.
Roland
I think there is a post missing between me and all these replies. I am not a liberal and even if I was I would not have voted for Franken.
I was not boasting about this situation, just concerned about the numbers of democrats now.
PBALABAMA
Oh, great. That's all we need. The Joker in the Senate. Where is Batman when you need him? Is it too late to sell Minnesota to Canada?
Roland
Will this make the dems filibuster proof?
Retired deputy in MI
They will have the 60 votes necessary, but they may not all vote along party lines....look at the 44 Dems who did not support the Cap and Trades.
Roland
Thanks Retired Deputy, maybe common sense will prevail after all. The eight Republicans that voted for the cap and trade however, should be removed asap.

Why do you not put DISSENTING comments in Fox? I have posted on this several times.
Legal Kate Sux
Because they don't like idiots

What exactly has Al Franken done that makes liberals so happy to have him as senator? This is a serious questions.
MrsDarkSide
He has nothing between his ears............they like that!
Annti
Like the Pres., he thinks a commedian. We are going to need all the humor we can get to survive what they have, are and will be doing to us.
savarulz
He hate's GW. That's it and no more. Having him as a Senator is almost like having Cindy Sheehan as House Speaker. Oh I'm sorry Pelosi is like Ms. Sheehan.
Brady
He's not Norm Coleman. That is enough.
UNION BREAKER Columbus Ohio
He will bend over to do whatever they tell him to do...that's why
Roland
What makes them really happy is now they have the majority to overcome any republican filibuster.

In a battle of wits the liberals don't have a leg to stand on.

Hope his senate chair is waterproof, I hear he goes through a lot of depends
LegalKate
Liz, if his book was lies, how come the court through out Fox and Orally's lawsuit? They were not lies.
LegalKate
Read his books. He is a multi-talented man and a policy wonk. He worked for SNL for about 15-20 years and has written political books. What do any of the senators have?
WB
I've read his books and they're as wretched as your literary taste clearly is.
BTW - Your posts on this and other subjects clearly demonstrate that you know virtually nothing about the law. So just what is your connection? I can't believe there's a law school you were capable of graduating from, much less even getting into.
UNION BREAKER Columbus Ohio
Is that what you were doing when you were supposed to be studying for the bar exam? No wonder you flunked out. And his resume as you wrote proves only that he does not belong...he has no mind of his own. ALthough I'll bet Barack will allow him to use his teleprompter so he can actually finish a sentence without that dumb look on his face, and that is not a part of the act
Elizabeth
Legal Kate, you must be awfully young dear. His poitical books are full of unstantiated lies. As far as working for SNL, the jokes are now on you. Now, eat your cotton candy and watch the Washington circus but beware, it won't be funny.

Hey New Yorker. You probably think Iran has good voting procedures as well.
savarulz
"Disgruntled Republican" Only a liberal would compare the 2. If you had your head removed from yor back end you would know "Canam" did not even say Franken's name.
Disgruntled Republican
Al Franklin is connected to the Iranian voting protests?
Only dittoheads could come up with that....

This is just more proof of the GOP on the comeback trail this year:

Can we vote Minnesota as the dumbest state in the nation? Oh wait, that belongs to California! Ok ,second isn't so bad !

Well, Minnesota is the home of Michelle Bachman.

I don't think mindless government is new... didn't Ronald Reagan usher it in?

peoples republic; what about the idiots that voted for this guy?
Peoples Republic of OH
I pity Michelle Bachmann - surrounded by liberalism, just as I am in the peoples republic of OHio. Just get up everyday & fight'em with facts & common sense - it renders them defenseless.
ApplyCS
And now the Senate has a true Democratic court jester.
Villi
They always had braindead fools like Kennedy, Reid and Pelosi.
Not to mention most of the rest.
Plus the ones that voted for them.
Brady
Pelosi is not in the Senate. Think about what you write before you start declaring people braindead.

Let's start a pool for when the first Senate brawl is started by Franken...can see him now in session wearing Hannibal Lecter gear!

Apparently Minnesota imported their elections oversight and recount committee from Iran.

Oh this is so good. So now Franken joins the rest of the liberal clowns -( Barney Pelosi, Schumer, Rangel, Reid, Dodd, and who could forget the big O) in DC. These people make so proud.
WB
Oh, well. If the people of Minnesota are dumb enouth to elect him they have only themselves to blame.
MrsDarkSide
I agree, approx 42% of the people here are STUPID! UFFDAH!

Their choice was between a crook and a comedian....
