because maybe he'll call "bullshit" on Obama and his mealy-mouthed herd of whiners that he calls a quorum. Someone has to stand up for the electorate and who better than a guy that is beholdin to none and has nothing to lose? Gay rights? Damn straight! Medicare? Physician (AMA) heal thyself!

High-profile loons: Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd. Freaky Franken fits right in.

I suppose "Bedtime For Bonzo" was Ronald Reagan's finest hour...

I thought that the last 8 years showed us that the party with 50 votes got their way. The Dems have 60 now, and still nothing will be done.

Bring on the legislation that has already made it through the House like the clean air bill and hate crimes. It's well past time to get these passed.

One fraudulent election after another. At least no bloodshed for Fruitcake Franken. Amazing how mystery ballots just kept popping up from everywhere. Actual ballots probably had to be printed. Iran doesn't bother to do that extra step. But Fruitcake prevailed.

Read it and weep as this hate-filled, failed radio host jumps onto the wonderful Congress gravy train. Work, work, work, all we know is hard work.

instead of Obama copying FDR with all his failed policies.

Whatever Hoover tried, FDR doubled down and repeated it like it was the thing to do.

FDR had no competition (Smith and Willkie), would not let the country heal itself, used a hit list for whoever disagreed with his crap, punishing the likes of Henry Ford.

Reagan killed the fairness doctrine which opens people's eyes to the daily BS in Washington.

Was a Nazi sympathiser that was only won over to the war effort when an easier enemy was dangled in front of his nose (the Japs). I think that it's ironic that Ford vehicles enabled the Communist Soviets to win WWII. That evil old man must have spun in his grave...

Not sure who is dumber, you or Something Stinks....

There's no reason to be harsh on Terkoy, or even to pay him much attention. He's obviously a 14 year old boy who, in his adolescent ignorance, finds disreputable figures such as Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Rush, et al. to be somehow admirable and figures to emulate. In his dorky teenage way, he's just trying to ape their not much more intelligent or credible perversions of the facts, and, given his obvious youth, he's actually doing a pretty good job of reciting their talking points. Terkoy, as you grow up, try to learn that citing discredited sources (such as Coulter) does not suffice for making an actual argument. Hopefully, one day you'll look back on your sophmoric efforts here and you'll slap your forehead and cry out, "What a stupid ass I was!"

But you'll hopefully forgive yourself, because you'll realize that, at 14, we're all stupid asses.

and I heard Al Franken is looking for a lackey. Washington needs more squirrels.

Coulter, O'Reilly and Limbaugh are very wealthy for a very good reason. They speak the truth and the truth is very painful to you pack of lying libs.

"I'd rather have 50 votes and Al Franken as majority leader, than 70 votes with Harry Reid."

Hear, hear! Al is clearly more qualified in just about every way... If Harry had even the slightest inkling of leadership skills, Franken's first assignment as a member of the Democratic caucus would be a pair of hospital visits to "request" that Kennedy and Byrd graciously step aside to open up their seats for candidates who can show a pulse.

His second assignment would be to take a dump all over Joe Lieberman's face!

but was rebuffed by FDR cuz he wouldn't succumb to union BS. Like the Kennedys, FDR was thought to be intelligent but was liberal scum, sleaze, low-life trash and garbage.

He never would have let the line about being "number 2" pass in his previous life.

Al was a great comic and will be an outstanding senator.

Somebody please bite his hook. Mom won't let Terkoy out of the basement until he folds his laundry. Someone please give him some love... it's got to be hard having a micro-phallus.

"In turn, Senate Republicans must understand that Sen.-elect Franken's election does not abdicate them from the responsibilities to govern." - harry this war is lost and cannot be won reid

Now that he' got the power, his ineptitude will become even more obvious. It's understandable that he needs the Republicans to provide cover.

..FDR was thought to be intelligent but was liberal scum, sleaze, low-life trash and garbage.

Time to turn off the AM radio and ask the doctor to adjust your meds.

Now off to run with the bulls in Pamplona (ouch.)

Michael Jackson cocktail, anyone?

...or is that crackling crescendo spreading over this land merely the sound of millions of tiny little heads exploding throughout the Right-Wingoverse?

Congratulations to Sen.-Elect Al Franken. (Not sure of the timing of his swearing-in.)

Side note: For those interested, terkoy is a troll.

Let's see you strange liberals do something with it, and then own the disastrous results that will follow. You won't have republicans or Sarah Palin to blame anymore, but they'll be back to clean up your mess. Does the majority power scare you? It should, as the populace eventually wises up to your anti-American schemes.

For starters, cap and trade. Please, please pass cap & trade to put U.S. companies at a huge competitive disadvantage at home and abroad. Profits shrink to pay for bizarre carbon 'credits' (even though by now we all know "global warming" is a scam, and the global cooling & warming is a direct causal relationship with sun spot activity), unemployment increases, and inflation skyrockets in order to maintain the tax base for gom'nt programs such as national healthcare.

Oh yeah, national healthcare. Go ahead with that winner too. As the scope of national healthcare broadens as it inevitably will, the nanhy state (who runs national healthcare) will come-a-calling for your freedoms. After all, one cannot do anything to one's body such as eat fatty foods or alcohol, cigarettes, or POT (I know that one really scares you libs) without potentially costing "national healthcare" additional monies that should be spent on people who haven't abused their bodies and just get sick randomly.

Have you liberals actually thought through the ramifications of your pet projects? Are you really that short-sighted? Do you not ever take into consideration the human condition when crafting your short term, feel-good legislation?
