FRANKEN AND CIRESI “SPAR” IN FRONT OF PRESS
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 10, 2008
Al Franken cannot be pleased that Mike Ciresi stole his thunder and launched the first ads, including the first attack ad, of the campaign season (no matter how bland they are). Perhaps that's why Franken tried to interupt Ciresi during a joint press conference today:
"Although the candidates were friendly, Ciresi and Franken did spar a bit.At one point, when Ciresi was answering a reporter's question, Franken tried to interject something. Ciresi shut him down.
'Hold on a minute,' Ciresi said.
Franken said he just wanted to ask Ciresi a question.
'Let me finish, Al, then you can ask a question,' Ciresi said.
Franken waited and then asked about the impact of a mortgage-related bill in the U.S. Senate. Ciresi answered the question, Franken thanked him, and then Ciresi got a dig in: 'Stick around me, you'll learn a lot.'" Source: Pioneer Press, January 10, 2008Click here for the complete story.
