AP: “FRANKEN ACCOUNTANTS LOOKING INTO EXTENT OF TAX PROBLEM”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | April 25, 2008
“After a series of revelations about unfiled taxes and government fines involving Al Franken’s personal corporation, officials with his Senate campaign said Friday that accountants are working to determine whether the Democrat still owes back taxes in California or anyplace else.
That came after Republicans amped up their attacks on the former comedian and liberal commentator, who is the frontrunner in his party to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman.
‘I don’t think Minnesotans want a U.S. senator who doesn’t pay their taxes,’ state Republican Party chairman Ron Carey said at a Capitol news conference. ‘This is a very serious issue. I pay my taxes, people in the state work hard and pay their taxes.’
Carey charged that Franken has been dishonest about his dealings, and said California should investigate Franken’s tax compliance.” Source: Associated Press, April 25, 2008

Huh, finally that dumb S.O.B. Frank Alan has not much to say anymore. Maybe he’s realized what a phony, dishonest, crook the subject of his man-crush, Al Franken is.
