I Predict Al Franken Will Be ONE HELL OF A KICK ASS SENATOR

[Beetwasher]

WOOO FUCKING HOOO!!!!

He will carry Wellstone's torch.

[That Is Quite Enough]

1. Agreed. I have no doubts about him or his abilities.

[Ian David]

2. How soon until he'll be ready to run for President? n/t

[tavalon]

15. What the hell?

We don't even know if he'll be any good as a Senator and you're already prepping him for President?

[Ian David]

17. I meant of The United Federation of Planets.

Ok, we'll start with President of The United States first.

[WI_DEM]

3. I hope so--we need a real liberal and I hope he will be one.

16. I emailed Sen. Franken today

:bounce: :woohoo:



and said under no circumstances would he be allowed to become a BLUE DOG !!!

We will all kick his ass from here to Mars.

Sen. Franken on the issues:

4. I don't care if he sucks eggs, he's already exceeded my hopes by sending Coleman home.

Not that I think he will suck eggs. Just saying he's made me happy already. :)

5. We need some humor in the senate, for a change

[SoCalDem]

6. Republican heads will explode.. They don't like witty, intelligent people

who can think on their feet, and who don;t thank Jeeeesus every few minutes:)

[Beetwasher]

7. He's Going To Tweek Repubs BIG TIME!!! That Alone Is Worth The Price Of Admission!

He will be the single most hated Dem Senator (by Repubs), for sure. That alone is reason enough to love him.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

22. I'm with you on that Beetwasher! nt

[tridim]

8. He'll bring some good snark to the Senate floor

[question everything]

9. He will. Anyone who has ever listened to him

or read his book knows how eloquent he is.

[no limit]

10. Having listened to his Air America show a lot back in the day I totally agree K&R

[mzmolly]

11. He's a brilliant and focused

man. I agree with you.

[PurityOfEssence]

12. Yep, and I hope he feels free to be funny now...

It must be driving him nuts to have to be so sober and frank throughout all this crap to dispel the myth that he's some kind of lightweight.

I have high hopes for this guy, and wish him all the best.

[tavalon]

13. I sent money and I'm pleased he is finally getting his chance

That said, as soon as he was thinking of running, he started sounding more centrist. I don't think he'll be another Wellstone. I hope I'm wrong, but I do know he won't be another Coleman, and for me, that's going to have to be good enough.

[SalviaBlue]

14. I agree!!

[Kablooie]

18. Funny thing about Franken -- his past career.

[Lugnut]

19. I think so.

I'm thrilled that he will be seated. It's a win-win for our side.

[roody]

20. Mrs. Franken looks cool and nerdy!

[troubledamerican]

21. He better not be Lieberman Jr.

[avaistheone1]

23. I predict Al Franken will be a kick ass Senator and that he will

support a strong public health care option or single payer.

[4_TN_TITANS]

24. I can't wait for the sound bites on the senate floor.

Humor with solid common sense.
