MDE FROM THE ARCHIVES: FRANKEN JOKES OF GETTING HIS CATHOLIC WIFE TO DENOUNCE THE POPE
By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 12, 2007
"On stage Mrs Clinton winced at some of Al Franken's risque humour. Introduced as Al O'Franken, he related – to raucous laughter – how that he was married for 28 years to an Irish American Catholic whom he 'deflowered and got to denounce the Pope.'" Source: The Irish Times, July 27, 2004

I can't wait to lit drop the parking lots of Catholic churches next year with this quote from Franken. Thanks again Al!

What is the latest on Joe Repya thinking he can beat Norm?
This guys ego is so massive that he thinks this is actually in the cards?
You were just rejected by the state central committee, and you think you have what it takes to beat Norm? You are clearly delusional!

Well, at least he’s been married to the same woman for 30 years. I have to give Al and his wife credit for that.
Good thing he didn’t marry an African-American: “I’ve been married 28 years to an black gal from Chicago whom I deflowered and got to denounce Martin Luther King”.

Interesting to see a joke about sex making a Clinton feel uncomfortable.
Franken has no class, and obviously very little respect for people of faith. To the extent that Liberals are attempting to reincorporate people of faith into their coalition, Franken’s intolerance will set them back another decade.
Hmm, another decade from where they’re at now. That puts the Left in about the middle of the 1960s. What an odd coincidence.
No matter where you go, there you are.

I am sorry I posted yesterday inaccurately that Joe Repya was planning on running against Amy Klobuchar. When Joe told me that Saturday before his departure from State Central I ASSumed he was talking about taking A-Klob out.
I naively didn’t even consider that Joe would set out to unseat Norm. Perhaps a few months of R & R will change his mind about where his talents would be best employed for the good of the cause.

Drew … Props for the correction and apology

Joe Repya is completely and wholeheartedly delusional, as James mentioned above.
Every dime that is spent by the Coleman campaign, and the NRSC on this no-talent ass clown is money that might as well be flushed down the toilet that should be used to destroy Al Franken next year.
(Closed Circuit to Repya: I am really sorry that your ego took a massive bruising on Saturday, but I think you are smarter than to completely make yourself irrelevant by running against Norm)

what’s “props”?
June 12th, 2007 at 7:02 PM
props means proper praise..comon drew dont you know ghetto slang?

Joe Repya told me that he was going to spend 30 to 60 days traveling the state to assess support for a run against Norm Coleman. He also said something similar to MPR.

Please don’t bring politics to my place of worship. My God doesn’t do politics.
BTW, as a life long Irish Roman Catholic, I think it’s funny. We Irish Catholics were blessed by God with a sense of humor.

would anyone expect anything less than absolute religious intolerance from a liberal, much less a deranged liberal like Al Franken?

It would never fit on the flyer… it would intrude on the pictures of the MCCL dead babies.
