Al Franken takes his job very seriously

Being the 60th Democratic Senate vote is no joke. But can Franken guarantee Sotomayor vote or healthcare reform?

The letters thread is now closed.

@sawmonkey -- Speaking of ne'er-do-well offspring

of sitting incumbents, many people assign mental prowess to the Kennedy clan.

Read Joe Kennedy, Sr.'s biography for some real horror stories.

Ted Kennedy has led the left in Congress for decades.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is an environmental wacko activist.

We witnessed Caroline Kennedy's misguided venture into politics last year.

Franken will help Obama circumvent The Constitution

instead of govern by it as the oath mandated.

Al Franken in Congress

Give the poor man a chance! He has been out in the wilds of

Minnesota while Congress got this huge head start on him. He is

obviouly very bright and I expect great things of him.

You're bias is overwhelming; your rhetorical skills lacking; you could not win a middle school debate. Keep on watching FOX and send your money to SaraPAC and leave us teh hell alone.

@groland -- Remember I sent you to walterewilliams.com

which will tell you all about socialism. This is an intelligent black professor instead of a charismatic narcissist who rarely occupies the oval orifice.

My debating skills are irrelevant when I tell you about an enlightening Web site.

Clinton News Network will never compare to Fox.

God couldn't make socialism work in The Garden of Eden.

Oh Mike

Another useless kow tow to another useless liberal flacker.Franken is a disgrace and should be ashamed to be even in the Club. As to his voting for BHO-Reid-Pelosi malarky, of course, he will and both bills are horrors. Filled with pork, tax hikes, debts that will even outlast your young life Mike. You dis Sarah and praise this twirp who has not a new, innovative, or realistic idea in his warped head. No wonder liberal media is now looked at as a joke as well as the pols the lemmings of the Left elect. Will you write a column when the Obama recession actually produces criticisms that stick??? As Al and his cohorts drag us down into a socialist pacifist third world status?? I doubt it. And oh, Mike, see Bernie's website. He never has rejected his socialist nomenclature. You libs; you think the term progressive or moderate will hide from Americans what just you flacks think and want to legislate. LOL

They are not "CENTRIST"!!!

I hate it when writers follow the Republican talking points and call the Blue Dog Democrats "centrist" or "moderate." God bless it, it's like calling torture "enhanced interrogation techniques!" They are not "centrist." They are not "moderate." They are the extreme right wing of the Democrat party, and most of them are further right than some Republicans. They are not "trying to move Obama to the center on spending issues." Obama is already to the right of center! They are trying to push him further right, to satisfy the conservative Republicans who automatically oppose anything Obama wants to do. THEY WANT OBAMA TO FAIL!!!

Other than that, good story. Thanks.

@sawmonkey -- Henry Ford wanted to make vehicles for war

Ford wanted to make money! He would have been glad to make trucks for Hitler. Look up "the Battle of the Overpass", May 1937. Read some of the things Ford wrote. You know who Father Coughlin was? Ford supported his crazed preaching. People in Detroit haven't all forgotten.

You are a bundle of laughs!
