From SNL to the US Senate. What more can one say?

Let's start with fucken A! Right on! And then go from there.

The GOP is going to lose this one. They are so screwn! And Dems have an awesome advantage in the US Senate election this year.

Thank you Al! We love you madly.

Then he became a senator & disappeared. Now when he rarely speaks, he drones. What happened to him?

Socrates would be proud of Senator Al Franken. Even though US Reps. are elected for two year terms, they should not perform any duties in their second year because it is an election year in accordance with Sen. McConnell's logic.

Thank you zebonaut for bringing this video to DU!

They have sworn and admitted to violating the constitution they have sworn to uphold. They are in contempt and therefore should be arrested as they walk onto the senate floor and censured by that governing body.
