Is this fucking taking long enough ::) It passed clever a long time ago into annoying and stupid. I wonder how many voters have turned just on being so sick of Norm dragging this shit out to an eternity.

Great, another comedian in the Senate.

Too bad. Shame on the people of Minnesota. Democrats will have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Not good.

I bet republican senator ensign thought it was funny to pay his mistress' 19 year old son 60 grand for 'consuling fees'.

I think you are confusing me with someone else???
I could care less, they mostly suck, on both sides.
-
I have lost serious respect for the people of Minnesota over this.
Really? A comedian is your new senator? Really? A guy who's claim to fame is talking shit about others... And whos political affiliation is 100% radical party-line left... REALLY?
This supports my theory that the dems could run mickey mouse as their canidate, and automatically get 40% of the popular vote.
American voters are so fucking stupid it hurts.

he was horrible on snl

Al is Awesome, what's wrong with you people? I guarantee he's more intelligent than Norm.

no doubt, he sucked at comedy imo.

that part is actually scaring me much more than it did several months ago.... I should be against this huh?... Wouldn't be right I think...

I think even most liberals should be a bit worried, its not healthy to have unassailable majorities, even with the Repubs in the state they are in right now.

who the fuck are you to say "shame on the people of Minnesota" ?
The majority of the people voted for him so STFU and mind your own business

Hugo, I think that voters, hopefully right and left, are realizing that either party having too much power is not good.
The Dems, by almost any standard, are rapidly pushing an agenda that most peiople not only dont agree with, but cant comprehend because there is no time to even really debate or review the actual bills being voted on.
This is no different than a "patriot act" passing every month. Its only as months go by do we realize just what exactly they voted on, much to our horror.

oh wtf, we're fucked by these assholes either way. They put up a show for us to keep us at eachother's necks while they trade places fucking us up the ass. I may never vote again. I'm seriously ready to say I'll never vote for a Dem or Republican again. I'm still holding out a little hope for the dems because I don't have anything else to do so.... We'll see. But I'm watching and if they blow it and it looks like they are, I'm done with all these fucking douchbags.

that he's more intelligent than Norm, NO, no joke.. I have no idea what he'll do with it but I know he's got more upstairs than Norm. So we'll see...

There is always Mary Carey.

Al may or may not be intelligent but he is a radical leftist and we absolutely don't need more of that right now. This 1 part steamroller has to be slowed.
IMO its appauling that Al is a senator with his backround.
-

Based on what? Education? Experience? Norm has him beat in both categories.
It's really a shame they put a comedian in the Senate. At least they could have put a funny one in there. Horrible choice.

Well, 50% of the voters pay no taxes. Guess who they vote for?????

I bet big fat slob Al Gore thought it was funny when his strung out junkie son got arrested for the third time with a pharmacy in his car.I guess thats what happens when you have a pig for a wife that tries to ban music because it will corrupt the youth.

The good thing about Franken winning,is now we have a replacement for Joe Biden as the dumbest man in the senate.Waxman is the dumbest man in congress and Franken will rule the dummies for the senate.

Which every party can give them the most free stuff?

based on listening to them. I don't typically judge people by examining their experience and degrees. There's no guarantee in any of that.

Go fuck yourself Beach Bunny and how about giving us all a break from your "holier than thou" Mother Hen routine for a change. It's even more lame than your internet tough guy routine.
-

Agree. I do the same. I listened to both (including Coleman in person). Franken has not impressed me. Coleman does. How is anyone going to take that guy seriously.
Reminds me of the movie Independence Day. Was watching that the other day for the umpteenth time and I just cannot take the president (Bill Pullman) seriously. He was Lonestar in one of the funniest movies ever made (Spaceballs). He can never play a serious role in my eyes after that. :)

What a joke (so to speak). He will be an embarrassment to all the shameful people in Minnesota who put him in office.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Republican Norm Coleman conceded to Democrat Al Franken in Minnesota's contested Senate race on Tuesday, ending a nearly eight-month recount and court fight over an election decided by only a few hundred votes. Coleman announced his decision at a news conference in St. Paul, hours after a unanimous Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that Franken, a former "Saturday Night Live" comedian and liberal commentator, should be certified the winner.
"The Supreme Court has made its decision and I will abide by the results," Coleman told reporters outside his St. Paul home.
"In these tough times we all need to focus on the future, and the future is that we have a new United States senator," Coleman said.
Franken's presence in the Senate would give the Democrats control of 60 seats, enough to overcome any Republican filibuster if they stay united.
A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the earliest Franken would be seated is next week, because the Senate is out of session for the July 4 holiday.

This alone should be enough to disqualify him

It's amusing how "holier than thou" christians feel so comfortable telling everyone else what they should feel ashamed about. The most vocal of that crowd are usually the ones with the most skeletons in their own closets.

I wasn't responding to you. Did you also call it shameful for the majority of the voters to make a choice that you don't personally agree with? I didn't see that post by you.

I bet you haven't actually listened to Al.

Shameful is not the right word.
Dumb, ignorant, ill-informed, coat tails vote, - maybe those qualify instead.
What would you say if michael Savage were to win a Senate seat? Or how about Dennis Miller?

Of course shameful is not the right word but it shows the mindset of a certain type of person.

lol . . . ::) It's often simpletons who are ashamed of their own conduct who complain the loudest when anyone discusses morality, etc. But of course that has nothing to do with this thread.

Wrong.

If they voted for David Duke or a pedophile or something, that qould qualify as shameful in my mind.

Well . . . I can't really argue with you. This wasn't a race between two qualified people. I'm just baffled. It may have been related to Bush's unpopularity.

actually it's people who are most ashamed of their own actions that project that shame onto others and go around clucking like a mother hen telling people what they should be ashamed about.
-

yeah - I could see that but then David Duke was probably voted into office by other like minded racists.
Pedaphiles are usually voted in by unsuspecting Republicans
