Well, he fits in well with all the rest of the clowns.  Hard to differentiate him out of the crowd, actually.

But at least Franken is funny ha-ha, to boot, unlike the other clowns who are just clowns without the funny.  Humor has it's own intrinsic value.


I find Franken to be really droll and not all that hilarious.

Droll is funny.

He hasn't had much funny going lately, but then look where he is.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Yes, sucking a steady paycheck and benefits off the taxpayers.

The one thing I'm getting tired of hearing is how not passing the jobs bill is preventing the hiring of police officers. I call BS on that one.

And Inhofe has been doing what since 1968??


Goes back again to one of those relative degree things.  If Franken is 'bad', then Inhofe must be Satanic Evil incarnate come to planet Earth in the human form of the Anti-Christ.

Your bias is showing.

I believe it is entirely possible to dislike Inhofe and dislike Franken even more.

That could be pretty much any politician.

Bias?  Against Inhofe?  Just reality.

I like Coburn, who is about as 180 degree opposite Inhofe as a politician can get.  Biased in the other direction - in favor.
