MDE EXCLUSIVE: CAR ACCIDENT ON WAY TO AL FRANKEN EVENT IN MANKATO
By Michael B. Brodkorb | February 21, 2007
The car I was riding in to Al Franken's campaign event in Mankato was hit from behind on Highway 169 near County Road 78. I thought about live-blogging from the scene of the accident, but decided that would be a little too much.

After all the butt jokes and Al Franken quotes about homosexuals, isn’t it a funny coincidence that you’d get rear-ended.

This must have been a liberal conspiracy

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.

Fred proves RFK was right.

Really, Michael, I hope you weren’t hurt. You’re too much fun to lose to whiplash. Besides, now you’ll be getting all of those mail solicitations from plaintiffs’ attorneys, which will give you great blogging fodder in the weeks ahead.

Who were you riding with?!?
February 22nd, 2007 at 9:29 AM
Glad to see you’re OK.
From the photo, it looks as if you were in the left lane. You should know that nothing good happens when you’re left of center.

I was with a good friend….We were both surprised the air bags didn’t go off…the car hit us rather hard, but no air bags.

I have been hit from behind as well. Whiplashes are no fun. The effects from them can last many years.
Rather the car be totaled than you. Glad to know that you are ok, Michael.

Air bags shoudn’t deploy when hit from the rear.
You don’t have a “I Heart Halliburton” bumper sticker on the car, or something else that might cause spontaneous moonbat road rage?

Your good friend…what’s he do for a living?
February 22nd, 2007 at 12:45 PM
I think he’s a shepherd.
February 22nd, 2007 at 12:45 PM
He doesn’t work for Soros.
February 22nd, 2007 at 12:46 PM
They don’t call him “Feckless Jeff” for nothing.
February 22nd, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Does he herd sheep?
February 22nd, 2007 at 1:02 PM
He’s actually a salesman for Members Only jackets. They’re making a huge comeback.

You know, it’s funny, because, let’s just say hypothetically that a certain well-known right-wing blogger was riding to an Al Franken event with a certain GOP party official, and the next day said well-known right-wing blogger trashed a liberal blogger for not disclosing things properly. I mean, that would be pretty lame of the righty to do that, wouldn’t it?

Jeff: Matt & JD didn’t disclose that one of them was paid by Franken’s campaign while they MN Publius was publishing about Franken’s campaign. JD has now disclosed that he is being paid by Franken’s campaign.
February 22nd, 2007 at 1:50 PM
Well, it’s what you did, so I suppose you would know…
February 22nd, 2007 at 2:00 PM
I think there’s a world of difference between carpooling to an event with someone (if that’s what Mike did), and not disclosing that you’re being paid to shill for somebody (much less a ranting asshole like Al Franken) (which is what the MNpubis guy did), Jeff.

Jeff,
Can you tell us who funds the “Center for Independent Media”?

Fred,
I hope you get hit by a bus. That couldn’t happer to a nicer person.
