1. The joke's on you Rethugs!

They got some snobby lady to represent their point of view, how appropriate.

As for Sen. Al Franken: He's good enough, he's smart enough, and dog-gone-it people (including myself) like him! :-)

[phantom power]

2. Looks like she brought a knife to a gun fight.

[mindfulNJ]

3. He certainly IS smart enough:)

Minnesotans are damn fortunate to have the brilliant Al Franken as their senator.

[Bleacher Creature]

4. This is why the right always has to remind people that he was a comedian.

They think that if they can paint him as a caricature, he will be dismissed. Epic fail.

[MiniMe]

5. Love Al

He looks really tired in that video though. Rest up Al, we need you!

[Crowman1979]

9. I think he was just tired of listening to insurance company BS.

It like he was thinking: Oh god, not this garbage again! This was about as bad as my last year with SNL!

For those who don't know, Al Frank quit SNL in 1995 because he thought it wasn't funny anymore. Those who actually saw the 94-95 season probably know what I'm talking about.

6. I knew he was smart a long time ago

I was a daily listener to his program on Air America. He had a lot of top notch, intelligent politicos on his show and he sure kept up with them.

7. Wow I love that guy n/t

8. Fortunate Ones!

America is fortunate to have Al FranKen in the U.S. Congress!

[Epiphany4z]

13. ouch now thats gona leave a mark!!!

Al Franken knows his stuff. He always did when he was on the radio..she should have known better

[ejbr]

14. Not sure which I hate more

her stance, the expression on her face, or that fuckin' dress.

[Mind_your_head]

15. K & R

Al Franken was FANTASTIC. Straight to the point and 'knew his stuff'.

The 'madame' was also so finely dressed (literally) in silk suit and pearls. She was not your average 'desk jockey'....just sayin' - pointing it out.

16. Is Ms. Furchtgott-Roth related to the Roth family foundation?

What about the origins of the Roth IRA?

What of the Hudson Institute? Of which Ms. Furchtgott-roth is a 'fellow'?

No wiki piece, but lots of info comes up on the google about her:

I don't all know what it means, how the players stand, but "hmmmmmm....".
