"How many bankruptcies because of medical crises were there last year in Switzerland"?

"I don't have that number in front of me but I can get back to you".

"I can tell you how many it was, it is zero"..

1. She tried to stump him regarding cancer survival rates and she failed

He trumped her by being schooled on the comparative studies. She looked like a deer staring into the headlights.

[Fumesucker]

2. The smartest mofo in the room..

It must really sting to get schooled by a comedian.

:rofl:

[ddeclue]

9. She thought she was so damned smart with that legalistic "I'll get back to you" nonsense and he

totally crucified her with it. It was beautiful!

10. Senator Franken, in his previous job, was a satirist, not a comedian

Not to nitpick, but he'd make that distinction if you asked.

:)

[Fumesucker]

11. He has done both..

I've read his satire and watched his comedy..

But I think he is better known for his comedy on SNL than for his satirical books.

[liberaltrucker]

14. True

But I was referring to his AAR show. He always considered himself
a satirist. I suppose I confused "purist" with "public perception".
My bad.

:blush:

15. This is my favorite Franken satire..

6. I love Al Franken!

He kicks ass! He makes the Senate a worthwhile entity!

[Occam Bandage]

7. Franken has been a fantastic Senator. He seems uncorrupted. nt

[liberaltrucker]

8. And he'll remain so

:)

12. Bravo, Al!!!

:applause: :woohoo:

[liberaltrucker]

13. He sits in Paul Wellstone's seat

He'll carry on Paul's legacy.

:toast:

[debbierlus]

20. I am sure that would make Sen Wellstone very happy

[blogslut]

16. Keep underestimating him, bastards.

Al Franken ain't got nothing to lose and he's positively brilliant. This is a man that's played before millions, has all the wealth he needs, talent to die for and a fall-back career every goon on the hill would kill to have. Snark him - he snarks back. He can't be stumped. He can't be rattled. Anyone that attempts to belittle him ends up looking like a fool. He's a gift and we have him for at least 6 years.

[debbierlus]

19. I must say, he is incredibly impressive thus far.

[devilgrrl]

17. Absolute Genius!

:thumbsup:

[debbierlus]

18. I am very impressed with Sen Franken & I bet the next senate race he runs, he wins BIG

Kudos, Sen. Franken.

Excellent work.

21. Oh, my! The change in her expression when Al caught the "cancer study" ball and

threw it back at her....priceless.
