So what?????
Franken will be giving her tips on how to lie and get away with it.
I can't wait for the hearings next week...

No doubt there will be some hard core WAILING from the uptight righties!

Okay libbies... get your nachos & guacamole` ready cause the GEENOPEE sure nows how to put on a SHOW of NO!

Let's save the popcorn for the small stuff!
NOT newsworthy.  Let's hear how Barry and Michelle pimped out their daughter, Malia, at the G8 summit.  I guess that means their daughters are fair game for the media now.
Hey, the comic and the racist meet.

The female Latino vs. the white guy.

And does he realize that she thinks she's a better judge of everything and anything than he is?
Sotomayor should know that the name on Franken's door says "Stuart Smalley"
Slowest news day of the year!!!  Maybe Palin  could resign again.
Franken have time to get back to his office from the "Clean Needles" protest he led?
This is a great first.
Perhaps Franken could make a name for himself by trying to get on board with the Fed Audit?  I would certaintly respect him more for it.

I realize it's not the politically Chic thing to talk about, but the Fed's involvement in the day to day life of everyone is very underestimated in our society.  That is primarily because few people outside of Washington and Wall Street understand it's role (which is no accident btw).

on a positive note msnbc.com finally reported on it at length (albeit it was more of an indirect swipe at the politics of Ron Paul, but I take what I can get these days)

It's shameful that we spoke about cap and trade before it was even written, but a bill that has had committed support of over half of the house for over a month now is just now getting mentioned in the business portion of the website?  

Lame MSNBC, very lame indeed.
go for it need to have a little respect...if you do not agree with his policies or policts , we can disagree, but we do not need to resort to name calling it tells, what type of person you are...my mother always says just because you were born in a ghetto, does not give us the right to act like one...i do not care what party you're from, leave people children out of thier politics...you may disagree with them and its ok but resort to name calling, that is ugly and it shows your ugliness.
Meeting of small minds belonging to a joke and no hope.
BTW, where's all the millions jobs Obama promised?
