FORMER U.S. SENATOR DEAN BARKLEY MAY RUN FOR U.S. SENATE
By Michael B. Brodkorb | May 7, 2008
“(WCCO) A former U.S. Senator’s current occupation may be driving him back toward the Senate race, but Dean Barkley may argue he never left the political arena.
Right now, Barkley is a common worker in a common job. The former U.S. Senator is now a Transit Team bus driver, assisting the elderly, disabled and the blind.
‘I enjoy it,’ he said. ‘You meet a lot of nice people, doing a public service. And I really enjoy driving.’” Source WCCO, May 7, 2008

Has he added Senate Candidate to his Match.com profile?
Would he put that above or below his love of erotica?

I believe other fairly recently appointed Minnesota Senators:
Muriel Humphrey for deceased Sen. Hubert Humphrey
Wendell Anderson for elected VP/ Sen. Walter Mondale
Walter Mondale for elected VP/ Sen. Hubert Humphry
Dean Barkley for deceased Sen. Paul Wellstone

Please…do not title this village idiot (Barkley) as a “senator”. He was a tantrum, by Lame Duck/Lame Brain Ventura when Jesse “The Boobie” pitched a fit because his lacky wasn’t allowed into a debate.

If Barkley runs, what little hope Franken had of pulling off a victory will be squashed. Norm’s gotta love this stuff…
