Al Franken just beat the cr*p out of John Fund on Hardball
Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 05:48 PM by Greybnk48
any one else see this? I never, never, watch Tweety but I was too lazy to turn the channel--thank goodness. It was hilarious.

Not physically, verbally and intellectually.

There are few that I despise more than that smirky little example of wingnuttery.

5. He made Fund look like an idiot
Fund wanted to talk about Murtha's "corruption" right out of the gate and Franken kept talking about his (Fund's) crooked, corrupt buddies, pals and friends.

7. yup, his "polling" doesn't have anything to do with asking people
questions and taking their answers.

And when he visits Napa Valley, he is always asking to see the cork soaking room.

8. Sorry, but Fund is a mean assed hetero (married, keeps girlfriends, emotionally abusive)
No time to google him up right now. But Fund's past is checkered by heterosexual scandals.

10. Perhaps he's one of those "heteros" trying to f*** himself straight...
could explain his penchant for misogyny.

14. What a silly thing to presume without evidence. Sorry. No. He's straight. An asshole, but straight.

12. A frustrated gay man in denial would be a candidate for hating and blaming the women
Edited on Thu Nov-16-06 06:29 PM by blm
for his failure to stay attracted to them.

But, shouldn't we just let it be and not try to force every idiot Republican into a gay man?

The gays have enough problems from society they don't need everyone turning idiot Republicans into gays just to have fun doing so.

9. He did a great job! Fantastic....even for those who think he's DLC
I was hoping he would go after Fund for "Sex with Baby Sitter" but....what Franken did in his sound bytes was GREAT! :D

15. People forget, because we don't see much of Franken the warrior.
On his own show, Franken rarely has "opponents." So we might forget how effective he is as an adversary. He is knowledgeable, facile, and witty. Add to that, what a jerk Fund is, and there's the recipe for a rout.

If Al runs for the Senate, I hope somebody films it. :)

20. This is torture. How far in is Franken??
Watching Tweety gush over "The Man Of The Hour" Stenye Hoyer is making me sick! A moderate Democrat in very immoderate times? WTF? Gawd I wanna slap that fake smile off of his face!

22. Fund is a lightweight
if he can't lie, he's a lump of "make-me-look-like-an-idiot"
