Here is the little twirp Al Franken had on just now from Brookings.
He was really blasting Howard Dean over Iraq, saying Dean once equated what Bush did to being illegal...Franken said something about it might be actually.

He blasted Dean, Franken sort of defended Dean, tried to ask this little twirp some questions. The guy evaded all sensible questions, and in my opinion he had the forum to blast Dean and not be really held to account for it, at least not strongly.

Just at the time Carville is spouting off again. See LBN. Just after Dean stated on Sunday's Fox News that we really did need to figure how to get out of Iraq.

Here's the twirp.

3. Yes, he did. He looks like he should be in Iraq fighting the war he loves.
He would have been worse, but Franken sort of sat on him. He's a twirp. He looks like a kid who is old enough to go to Iraq.

4. Oh, now, he got his first university degree in 1982, so he's at least in his mid-40s.
Yes, he's old enough to go to Iraq, but he's not a kid by any means, and not prime soldier material.

5. He sounded very immature, not to old to go and fight.
One of our sons is retired military, and may be called back...and they are calling out reserves in their 60s.

2. He Sure Says "We" Alot
how come I get the feeling...the "we" he keeps referring to has nothing to do with the voters who got the dems back into power.
