What it mostly sounds like to me is a guy who at times:
1. likes to poke fun at taboo issues (sometimes at great expense to the disenfranchised),
2. spew vulgarities about people that piss him off,
3. move around fairly regularly and identify multiple places as feeling like “home”, and
4. is genuinely self-deprecating.

This sounds a lot like every person I know or have encountered throughout my life. This is why I voted for Jesse Ventura, because normal old folks are the kind of people professional Republicans and Democrats love to hate when they get in office. If nothing else, people like Al Franken force people like Norm Coleman and John Kerry to work together, if for no other reason than to make certain that people like Al Franken don’t get the legislation they want passed.

Al has my vote, Coleman has had his chance.

This race will be about Norm’s record and his stand on the issues,
Stay in Iraq
tax cuts that don’t help the middle class
deficit spending
against gay rights
against “common sense” sex education
against taking care of our vets
against whatever Bush is against
for whatever Bush is for

Do you really think the food for oil investigation was a feather in Norm’s cap?
The things Norm didn’t feel were worth investigating
war profiteering
CIA leak
wmd
wiretapping
torture
tillman
sexual assaults in Iraq by Americans to Americans
the lost e-mails
the destroyed CIA tapes
etc, etc, etc
That’ll do Sheeple that’ll do

If you want to talk, you have to give El Druggo some dough, first.

Everything I’ve ever read from you could easily be shortened to:

“Mega dittos, Rush!!!”

I make talking points, pal – that’s my role.

“Mayor Maybe, Stuffed Suit and Sleepy” is what I came up with to describe republiCon endorsed Phil Young, Brad Aho, and Jon Duckstad.

And these days, those bums couldn’t be elected dog catcher.

Oh – and ask Paulsen and Hann how much they like being described as:

“Paulsen and Hann voted against it, before they profited from it.”

And the one that really, Really, REALLY pisses republiCon Phil Young off?

“Now republiCon Phil Young is in the unenviable position of having to say: ‘Well, that depends upon what your definition of “help” is’…”

No (cheney)in’ chyte, Sherlock. But, here’s where I learned that trick:

“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.” George aWol Bush, a/k/a “Boy Blunder”, May 24th, 2005

See, that’s how bootlickin’ ChickenHawks like you got the idea that “the surge is working”: you got sand, er, ‘scuse me, “propaganda” pounded, er, ‘scuse me, “catapulted.”

ROFLMAO!!!

That’s were he earned the nickname “Smokescreen”!!!

Franken really is a blithering baffoon, & not the funny kind either. Sorry guys, but except for a few fleeting moments, SNL was NEVER funny!

Coleman’s work on blowing the lid off the UN’s involvement in the Iraqi food for oil scam alone is enough to earn his keep. Makes him a far more effective senator than St. Wellstone could have hoped to be.

Say, Pete?

The subject here is Franken, NOT Erik Paulsen – who was voted “most likeley to spend his life getting sand kicked in his face at a beach” by his senior high classmates.

Do try to keep up, will ya?

And that’s a record ol’ Smokescreen is desperately trying to run from.

If there’s a senator that did less than ol’ Smokescreen did, as chair of the Senate Investigations Chair, I’d like to know who that was.

There’s a reason a quick google of ” Coleman mother of all smokescreens ” gets so many hits, and that’s a record ol’ Smokescreen really doesn’t want played.

But, then again, Democrats never do such a thing, now do they? *cough*MIKE ROGERS*cough*.

Brodkorb-> How about we concentrate on the larger issue: Coleman is starting off negative. How long do you think it will take until Minnesotans tire of the cynical politics he is running.

PS- I think its telling that Coleman is kicking his campaign off with negative ads. Everyone ready for 10 months of depressing, negative and sickening campaigning?

Also very informing that all those clips are half a second long and taken without any kind of context whatsoever.

It’s also uninspiring. Al Franken this. Al Franken that. We get the picture. It’s time for Sen. Coleman to start telling us what we’re working & voting for. If he doesn’t start soon, he’ll lose this November.

Ol’ Smokescreen going so negative, so early, only means he’s desperate.

Hopefully, ol’ Smokescreen has the same advisors Makeover Mark did!

I wonder when we’re going to see pictures of ol’ Smokescreen holding a megaphone, back when he was a Hofstra hippie?

I love it only it will get much better! Angry Al has so many skeletons in his closet there will be more material to use than time to use it all in.

I really hope Al gets the endorsement and gets his hopes up that he could win as it will be just that much better when he loses.
