MORE LEGAL TROUBLES DISCOVERED ON FRANKEN: HE DIDN’T PAY HIS TAXES
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 5, 2008
"Alan Franken Inc. appears in New York records one other time, when it failed to pay withholding taxes for July 1996. A lien against the corporation was filed in Nassau County in June 1997 for $2,948.30, and the case was closed a short time later, said Tom Bergin, a spokesman with the New York Department of Taxation and Finance."

Looks like the Ciresi campaign has found a great way to attack Franken. Through GOP blogs.

It was just a joke, surely you can see the humor in not paying his taxes.

Franken - you a funny guy!

Well dumbster, Norm Coleman switched party affiliations, perhaps Al Franken will also.
Perhaps dumbster thinks that the Republican Party is getting “under Al’s skin” as the phrase has been copied or written by MDE. Perhaps there are hopes that Franken’s entire body, once inoculated under the skin, will then turn Republican.
With Chairperson of the Republican Party, Ron Carey, calling for Al Franken to “come clean” it sounds like Carey’s drawing water for a community bath at the soap opera.

Its funny, there are more articles about this worker’s comp thing on MDE than on the entire internet combined. What does that say about the newsworthiness of this piece and to the amount of money Michael gets per blog post?

Wow Yoni, you mean the liberal blogs are ignoring this? NO! Tell me its not so! Why, that would be biased reporting - unthinkable… I just love the way you lefties attack the messenger when the message can’t be disputed. Having fun yet?

Um Yoni, did you happen to catch the title of this blog?
Minnesoat democrats Exposed. Franken is running in MN, so every bit of news we can get in front of potential voters is not only the right thing to do, but how else would we know what a snake Angry Al is?
