I just saw Senator Al Franken....
...tear a health insurance quack a new asshole.

Even though he's the most junior of all Senators (based on that farce put on by Coleman) I think Senator Franken will assume the mantle of Lion of the Senate in short order.

1. I agree that Senator Franken will become very important quickly...
He's a progressive and not afraid to speak the truth.

3. I think you're right!
