CHECK OUT THE POLITICAL CARTOON IN TODAY’S STAR TRIBUNE

By Michael B. Brodkorb | May 1, 2008

My phone has been ringing off the hook this morning as Al Franken’s tax problems are the focus of a political cartoon in today’s Star Tribune. The cartoon referenced “Republican blogs.”

    MDE — Sack should have put your name in there instead of “Republican blogs.”

    Everyone in the blogosphere should tip their hats to MDE for all his hard work on this story.

    Once again, MDE proves to be the preeminent blogger in the state — maybe the country.

    Angry Al Franken.

    A “comedian” who isn’t funny.
    A “businessman” who can’t read/follow rules.
    A “candidate” who can’t talk to the Media.

    A loser.

    But the dems say this isn’t an issue? I’m confused.

    Nice job, MDE!!!

    God bless you Michael. The only thing funnier than this is the lib enablers trying to change the subject. Fraudulant Franken has become the joke.

    I personally love how all the cowards come out of hiding when the republicants finally have a good day.

    There are a few people on here who day in and day out try and prove they are not embarrassed to be republicants, but it takes news like this to get folks like Cash N. Carey to come back on here and pretend like they have been here all along.

    Twopudd busted again for posting under multiple names! :)

    In caseyou thought there was any doubt that tommy is many of the lefty names who post here, think again. ;)

    It seems Puddles is also known as, el pres, yoni, frank alen, truth teller, mary and I am sure other will come to the surface.

    I told you the nuber one thing puddles is after is some recognition. ;) He wants SO badly to be an important political figure here in Mn why he will go so far as to post under many names so he can give the false premise that others actually agree with him. ;)

    Why he even posts under another name claiming how everyone should go read twopudds blog. ;)

    Seems the kids at MN Pooplius are not going to let him do that there.

    My next question is will Michael stop puddles from his posting lies. ;)

    TPT/Truth–

    Do not post under multiple names. We don’t allow it and in the future I’ll delete any comments from another name.

    We haven’t spent enough time talking about what we should expect out of our commenters, but I personally (and I don’t think I’m alone here) don’t believe in misrepresenting yourself in these comments. We allow comments from people under one name at a time. This serves a few practical purposes such as you can’t astroturf a discussion section. And as always we reserve the right to delete any comments we want to.

    Sean

    What the hell are you talking about? I have long suspected that Michael posts plenty of times as others if there is not enough genuflecting from you boot lickers. The only thing he hates more then democrats is when people don’t rub his ego sufficiently.

    So, you’re saying that Dolt#1 and Dolt#2 are in fact the same Dolt?

    This is nothing more than the physical manifestation of the same type of mental disorder that caused 2pud to pose as a disabled Vietnam Vet.

    So tell us, dolt. Which one of you get’s to wear the K-Mart medals?

  9. Frank Alan Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 1:07 PM

    I guess that would have to be Dolt 1, because, I have never met him at our weekly Dolt meetings.

    We hold them in the Senate majority leader’s office. Y’all wouldn’t know where that is, but it is quite nice. When that office is booked, we use the House Speaker’s office. Remember when Swiggy moved out and let us put our stuff there? Yeah. That was awesome.

    I can’t wait until we dolts are able to make the republican party in this state small enough to drown in a bathtub. I think we may only be a few elections away.

    Big Kahuna, from the 49th state [Alaska], a former U.S.territory, formerly owned by Russia, formerly and generally the land of the Inuits, sometimes seems to write as though he were a true blue-blood from the Original 13 Colonies.

    There is little room in his mind that el presidente, and others, exist outside of what his mind thinks I can handle accommodate.

    That accommodation is TwoPuttTommy (TPT), and I’m not so sure that Big Kahuna can even accommodate some of the comments of TPT.

  11. Bill Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 1:14 PM

    A lib dream that will never happen- just like your politics – they just don’t work but only in your lefty mind. Thanks for the absurdity.

  12. el presidente Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 1:40 PM

    The facts are facts. El presidente and TwoPuttTommy (TPT) are two separate and distinct people.

    Not liberal or conservative issue, neither right nor left, it’s a non-issue.

  13. Big Kahuna Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 1:44 PM

    Let’s see, a “bootlicker” comment by Frank Alen, yep, sure sounds like puddles to me. ;)

    That and how many times has there been a question to tommy and el pres or yoni or frank alen answer for him. ;)

    Poor puddles, trying so hard to be someone important. ;)

  14. Dash Riprock Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 1:58 PM

    I’m waiting for him to start posting as Flounder.

  15. Big Kahuna Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 2:01 PM

    I am sure he is out trying to set up another computer so he cannot get caught trying to post under so many names.

    Kind of funny as you know he is reading this and is not happy about being “exposed”. :)

    Maybe I need to start a blog called twoputttommy exposed. ;) Only promlem is no one really cares what the gay has to say which would also be why he posts under different names so he can pretend there are others who think just like him. ;)

    What a boob! ;)

  16. Frank Alan Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 2:16 PM

    I can’t help but noticing Dash Riprock and Big Kahuna both used the word “to”

    Coincidence? I think not.

  17. TwoPuttTommy Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 2:23 PM

    Say, Rash Dispstick?

    You got that “Thank you Sir, may I have another?” down pat, boy.

  18. Big Kahuna Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 2:39 PM

    poor puddles, busted again at trying to be someone important. ;)

    Man that just must suck to be you puddles, caught lying about your military record, caught lying about being all these other posters here. I am starting to wonder what lie will we find out next about you puddles?

    We have proven you are a cowards coward as you call folks out to come lick your jump boots (Which we now know you must have bought them as you have been caught lying about your service time) and then when I tried to come around to have you make me lick those jump boots, you gointo hiding and the folks who do know you at the Hopkins VFW said they have not seen you in a while and figured you must have ticked someone off and were in hiding. ;)

    Poor puddles, just not much left for you anymore buddy. ;)

  19. TwoPuttTommy Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 2:46 PM

    Say, little stones?

    The bouncer showed me the fake ID he pulled off ya, the other day – “Spiro T. Agnew, Jr.”

    Didn’t ya think that name’d tip him off??!?

    Oh, and because of you, there’s a new sign, in the Club:

    “Please ensure you field-strip your butts; some pimply-face punk teenager has been taking half-smoked cigs out of the can. Please do not feed the juvenile delinquent.”

  20. Big Kahuna Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 2:47 PM

    Sorry frank (puddles) I know you were hoping to pull this off a bit longer. ;)

    Poor puddles, no matter how hard he tries, he just cannot get people to take him as a serious political being here in MN. ;)

    Keep squeeking puddles, maybe one day, maybe… ;)

  21. Dash Riprock Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 3:04 PM

    Hey Flounder,

    You spelled dipstick incorrectly again. And you wonder why people don’t take you seriously?

  22. Big Kahuna Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 3:04 PM

    Stick with that puddles. ;)

    Have you been able to find a “real” vet yet who would sell you his combat medals yet? ;)

    By now you have surely bought a purple heart?

    Kind of funny puddles, just when was the last time you could show your face at the VFW without fear?

    Sorry buddy, you know the gal as well as I do now and she says you have been missing lately. ;)
    Word also has it you have not been showing your face there as I brought in a WW2 vet to talk up the kind of hate you spew on the blogs and funny, not too many of the vets in there that day were very happy with the kind of comments you have made. One said you are a big mouth and figured sooner or later someone would come looking for you.

    My guess is you are now more than embarrased to show you face there when you have folks so ready to challenge that service record of yours in front of your friends at the VFW. ;)

  23. TwoPuttTommy Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 4:05 PM

    Say, Rash?

    I was makin’ fun o’ your lisp.

  24. Frank Alan Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 4:49 PM

    Wow. Michael hasn’t fed you any thought rations since this morning, and your inability to think independently is becoming oddly entertaining.

    Its true what Ronald Reagan said: “No one hates like a Republican”

  25. Newton Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 5:00 PM

    So what if TPT has multiple personalities?

    Most dems I know don’t event have one.

  26. Dash Riprock Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 5:05 PM

    Newton,

    But Flounder picked all moronic personalities.

  27. ronalddog Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 5:39 PM

    Frank Alan is a mindless loon – can you make a point?

  28. Frank Alan Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 5:51 PM

    I think I did. When Michael isn’t on here telling all you mindless boobs what to think, you seem to run out of fresh ideas rather quickly.

    But fear not. He has posted another inane post for you all to adopt as your own ideas.

  29. ronalddog Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 5:58 PM

    Frank Alan – did you call yourself a mindless boob? How fitting. Can you just go back go daily Kos and let us have our fun?

  30. Frank Alan Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 6:11 PM

    You just proved my point better than anything else I could write will.

    Thank you.

  31. el presidente Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 6:32 PM

    Big Kahuna,

    You have picked the wrong battle, and a very silly one.

    El presidente and TwoPuttTommy are two different people.

    The written lexicon, and the written syntax, are different, as are other linguistic markers.

    Many bona fide U.S. military veterans of a bona fide [foreign] war don’t carry on they way that seems to have been done the past few months on this website.

  32. Yoni Says:
    May 1st, 2008 at 10:13 PM

    I am honored to be in such good company, thank you for the compliment Big Kahuna, now excuse me while i bask in my success as a liberal blogger.

  33. el presidente Says:
    May 2nd, 2008 at 12:13 AM

    TPT, Frank Alan:

    Be on the lookout for a rash dipstick; it may be carrying a dipstick rash.

    Sorry, I’m confused.
    Sack’s cartoon for today isn’t about the blog.
