I think it would be great if he came on and spoofed himself.

Sen. Franken may be spoofed on SNL....

tl;dr

 
Rapmaster2000 2009-07-02 10:55:21 AM  
Franken himself parodied a U.S. senator at least once on SNL, playing a Democrat at confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.

I remember that sketch. Chris Farley as Howell Heflin, Dana Carvey as Strom Thurmond, Phil Hartman as Ted Kennedy, and Chris Rock as Long Dong Silver. It was hilarious.

That Al Franken cracks me up with his hilariousness.

 
Codyl 2009-07-02 10:56:54 AM  
Franken would have lost by a landslide if not for so many dems (in a heavily dem state) pushing the "straight dem ticket" button.

It's amazing how close the vote was seeing how well Obama did. That means there were lots of people who voted for Obama and against Franken

PJ_the_Barbarian 2009-07-02 10:57:39 AM  
is the tag for his quote about not seeing himself as the 60th democrat? Or for the people who didn't understand that the subtext of that comment was "But then, I believe that a straight party line voting record IS what's best for Minnesota"

So what you are saying is that Franken would have lost if fewer people voted for him.

Fascinating!

Stegasaurus Bob would have won if dinosaurs could travel in time, and were registered to vote in the Minnesota election. And if Stegasaurus Bob successfully met the eligibility requirements to run for election, and had done so. And if his base didn't travel to the wrong year.

Et cetera.

A total of 16 states presently offer straight-ticket voting (STV). (new window) Guess which one isn't on the list?

Quite apart from any considerations of left wing or right wing politics, this guy is an ass clown and it's a sad day that he is a senator. Nice going Minnesota.

 
GurneyHalleck [TotalFark] 2009-07-02 11:05:27 AM  
There was actually an early SNL skit where he played a young senatorial candidate and Davis played his old, incumbent opponent. I actually watched it when his whole battle for the seat started. Very prophetic.

Typical libtard response. Always trying to cloud the issues with your "facts".

Agreed. I would be equally disappointed if some district sent Hannity to congress.

No, Acorn used the majority of dead voters on the Obama election. It was an accomplishment for them that they were able to dig up that many votes for Franken. Those may have been dead UW Students moveon.org had bused to Minnesota for the 2004 election so they could vote again for Kerry.

Your "logic" and "reason" has no place in a political thread.

 
Barnstormer 2009-07-02 11:10:53 AM  
I guess that shoulda been '16. But since the end is coming in '12 it hardly matters.

In what way is Al Franken an "ass clown".

Seems like a reasonable guy to me, who is concerned about the issues, educates himself on them, and certainly leans left/progressive.

I can understand some hate from people on right because he has dressed down some of their messiahs, but why do you have an issue?

Actually, in the times I have seen or heard him in serious conversation, he handles himself rather adroitly. I am not really sure why people are so opposed to him if not for purely partisan reasons.

It's the bow tie, isn't it?

 
AntiNerd 2009-07-02 11:14:19 AM  
Successful comedians tend to be very smart. Try to imagine one Republican ideologue that could last five minutes against Jon Stewart. Franken is the the same, and he will make a great Senator for all of us.

He's essentially a pundit, at least I'd say that writing 3 books demonizing the right makes him one. Think of one of the more intellectually honest right-wing pundits sorry, imagine there were an intellectually honest right-wing pundit - you'd probably not be too happy if he were sent to congress.

So you see some comparison between Hannity and Franken? Please explain.

I don't know either. This is why I asked. I won't hold my breath though - the best they usually can come up with is that pic of him in a diaper.

Minnesota doesn't allow straight ticket voting.

Mainly because of Barkley. Coleman got fewer votes than McCain as well. But it's not surprising that Barkley would particularly appeal to Obama voters -- Barkley is socially liberal and had a platform of change and reform.

I'd love to see some of the prominent GOP pundits in congress. All they know how to do is biatch, I'd love to see them put their money where their mouths are. I give Senator Franken credit for having a set in that regard.
