		<description>I think all of us ChickenHawks on this comment section owe Chestnut a beer!
May the 101st Fighting Keyboardists, led by Chestnut, rain down on Alec&#039;s head!! At least until he stops lending his honorable service to the despicible Franken.
Franken I might add is Pro-War. But even if he were not, I can&#039;t imagine any soldier currently in the Mideast or planning to be there who would feel more comfortable under any other leader let alone a Democrat leader. Democrats stood for appeasement and defeat often at the expense of the soldiers. Bush has created an amazing historical legacy and Coleman will rightfully benefit from it for supporting Bush. Bush has transformed the world for the better.
If you want to spin it otherwise you better get busy.</description>

		<description>Words as weapons, crossing swords, may have its time and place but, usually not so much of the time as many people sometimes think.

I think that a goal of words to further understanding(s) is more statesperson like, and generally more satisfying, if it is possible to do.</description>

		<description>Alec said: &quot;Chesnut, The vast majority of democrats voted against the war.&quot;

Norm Coleman wasn&#039;t in the Senate yet, so he didn&#039;t vote for it. But he voted with 99 percent of the Democrats who (rightly) have continued to vote for funding the war and supporting the troops with equipement. 

&quot;You have no idea what sacrifice means.&quot;

The New Hampshire Gazette is the authoritative source on chickenhawks.  Here&#039;s their definition:

&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Chickenhawk n. A person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it; particularly when that enthusiasm is undimmed by personal experience with war; most emphatically when that lack of experience came in spite of ample opportunity in that personâ€™s youth.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;

A veteran, by definition, cannot be a chickenhawk.</description>

		<description>Maybe some of you lefty&#039;s missed this part. Read it carefully, or have your mommy do it for you:

â€œIâ€™m talking, of course, about the Internet, which is a terrific learning tool. For example, a couple years ago, when he was 12, &lt;strong&gt;my son used the Internet for a sixth grade report on bestiality&lt;/strong&gt;. Joe was able to download some effective visual aids, which the other students in his class just loved. See, at that age the kids are sponges!â€ Source: Al Franken, Playboy, January 2000

Anyone who would defend a guy who says this kind of shit about his own kid is an even bigger scumbag than Franken is.

Say, dolt #1? That goes triple for you, jagoff.</description>

I believe I read that Chestnut is a veteran.  A veteran, by definition, cannot be a chickenhawk.

Chestnut, can you confirm?</description>

		<description>Chesnut,
    The vast majority of democraats voted against the war. The Senate caved, but in general, democrats voted against the war.

You have no idea what sacrifice means. You throw a sticker on your bumper and think you have sacrificed. You post on a stupid blog and think you have sacrificed. Maybe you even, heaven forbid, gave up golf! I am an Iraq War Vet, and we don&#039;t need Chicken Hawk cowards like you defending us. 

Now say something funny!

Love,
Alec</description>

		<description>Q. What OFF-VICES might Lynn Cheney be running FOUR?

A. Foursome:

1. Lynn Cheney
2. Al Franken
3. Laurie Coleman
4. Michael B. Brodkord

Here&#039;s the problem:

Lynn Cheney, wife of Republican Vice-President, Dick Cheney, writes a novel, Sisters, that according to CNN.com a copy in &quot;acceptable&quot; condition is selling for $695.95, in part, because of the graphic lesbian love scenes.

[Novel was previously written and is no longer in print.]

Al Franken&#039;s Playboy column or excerpts was handed out to reporters who requested a copy.

Michael Brodkorb keyed in the &quot;shocking&quot; excerpts on his blog and asked people to keep following the developing story.

Laurie Coleman, wife of Republican Senator Norm Coleman, is an actress, model, etc. and as such has taken on make-believe poses and roles.

The Coleman&#039;s have also used Norm&#039;s status as a USA Senator in the ad for the BLO and GO hair dryer holster.

Republicans point fingers at the Democrats, and the Democrats point fingers at the Republicans.

Add actor, Governor, Jesse Ventura, and his exploits and book passages to the mix, and Senator Dean Barkley&#039;s whatever people make of it, and there is a TRI-PARTISAN, SIXSOME.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see, Franken has been faithfully married to his wife for decades, while each day we have the faux family values crowd cheating on their spouses. Just yesterday the congresscritter from ?New York said he won&#039;t run again. 

In the Republican Party, it is not about how you treat people, it is about how you tell other people they should act. 

Hell, McCain committed adultry on his first wife and left her and the kids for a much younger and richer bride, but at least he didn&#039;t write smut for Playboy!</description>

		<description>Norm Exposer, when compiling your list of Coleman votes, be sure to compile a list of Democrats who voted with him (Hint: 99 percent of the Democrat Senators did). 

BTW -- those soldiers fought and died for a worthy cause. Fuck you for suggesting otherwise.</description>

		<description>Lynn Cheney is not running for office.

Please disregard previous post.  Obviously, your point is that only the publications of those running for office are open for discussion - and I&#039;ll go along with that.

That said, Franken&#039;s writings were in Playboy magazine, which many, Many, MANY politicans have been in - remember Jesse &quot;The Mind&quot; Ventura&#039;s commentary concerning religion in said magazine?

My point here, is that it was in a legal publication which has a sexually oriented nature.

Those that are offended by stark sexual language, shouldn&#039;t have bought a magazine of a stark, sexual nature.

Or, taken the handout from the Republican Party of Minnesota.

Or, opened the link to this thread.</description>

4.0 out of 5 stars Leaves you panting for more!, February 20, 2003
By A Customer

This story of a Washington wife who leaves her powerful husband to join a women&#039;s commune is charged with the kind of eroticism you just don&#039;t expect from the Second Lady of the United States of America. I was amazed at how graphically Ms. Cheney details the commune&#039;s daily &quot;massage classes&quot; and their predictable free-for-all aftermaths, while at the same time delivering a devastating critique of phallocentric discourse in modern culture.

WOW!!!


Lynn Cheney gets a pass for writing a lesbian book, but Franken gets ripped for writing a hetero column.

Typical &quot;consistent inconsistency&quot;, from the party of Family Values.</description>

Let&#039;s have a contest: You count up all the naughty words Al Franken has said, and I&#039;ll count up all the soldiers Norm Coleman has sent to an early grave with his votes for the Bush-McCain-Coleman war in Iraq. The winner is the loser.</description>

		<description>Monday afternoon (5-19-2008) &quot;the Republican Party of Minnesota (MN GOP) released a graphic column&quot; of which MDE&#039;s Michael B. Brodkorb (MBB), writes [5-19-2008] that the material is &quot;shocking.&quot;

&quot;The MN GOP... did provide it&quot; [the column] &quot;to reporters who asked for a copy.&quot; 

MBB wrote that he contacted the Director of MN GOP Communications, Director Mark Drake, for Brodkorb&#039;s [shocking, graphic, personal] copy.

MBB has recently been listed as a &quot;political blogger.&quot; This  description is perhaps how he qualified to receive the column from Drake.

MBB has written to &quot;Please check back&quot; to MDE &quot;for more information on this developing story.&quot;

MBB wrote &quot;The material is shocking, but I will be posting excerpts...&quot;

.............WARNING: SEX SELLS.................

Q. Does Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer want to get MEDIA attention to talk about an ISSUES?
A. TOO BAD, SEX SELLS

MAYBE MIKE Ciresi can MEET and MINGLE with the MAJORITY of MINNESOTA folks in the MIDDLE even though SEX, SEXY, &amp; CELEBRITY SELLS!</description>

		<description>this is what you want for a senator???

Of course not.  But Norm shouldn&#039;t re-elected only because Al is an idiot.  What has Norm done to prove he should be brough back?  Can&#039;t we just say that NEITHER are fit to be US senators?  Franken&#039;s a flat out moron, Coleman&#039;s a sleezy political oppurtunist who will do anything to be elected!  I never thought I&#039;d say this, but I&#039;d vote for Jesse Ventura if runs!  At least he&#039;s not as stupid as Franken or sleezy as Coleman.</description>

		<description>apparently yoni is new to mde.  franken has done plenty of things within the last 5 years that show his values and character.  during the last five years, franken has:  on the positive, performed for the troops overseas; on the negative, he has shown himself to be a tax evader, biased against asians, failed talkshow host, and against working people by not insuring them as required by law.

with coleman, he has cast many votes during the last five years and you can decide if you agree/disagree with him values and positions based on those votes.

franken has never had to stand up to the scrutiny of defending anything other than his behavior--i.e. when asked about the tax evasion issues, his response is to blame someone else and then, hiding behind privacy laws, not allowing the people he is accusing of the problem to defend themselves.  this is what you want for a senator???</description>

		<description>Michael the way you emphasized the &#039;naughty&#039; words reminds me of a 4 year old.   Oh no he said crotch and blowjob,  and wait breasts?  OMG!!  

its sad you guys can&#039;t find legitimate reasons for Franken not to be elected.  I am waiting for the day where you post something about either 1.  Norm Coleman doing something good(which he does but you just won&#039;t cover it) and 2. you write something about Al which has nothing to do with things he did 5 years in the past.

Honest question,  will you people be happy with yourselves after Norm gets re-elected purely on Al&#039;s ability to be a creep and schmuck?  is that what Minnesota politics is all about? The worst part is you people are adults.  its laughable,  at least we don&#039;t have to worry about you guys who post on here being our next generation of politicians,  Michael is no doubt the youngest of all of you douchebags,  ie swifty,  chestnut,  and wait where is Walter Hanson these days,  did he finally kick the bucket?</description>

		<description>Good news for my side: At least this is too dirty to be easily used as attack ad material.

Well, I can&#039;t put anything by the GOP hit machine.

Jeez.</description>

		<description>I recall Al on Almanac bragging about his oppo research on himself as if the fact that he had that done it should insulate him from criticism on the tax issues.  After all, if the oppo boys couldn&#039;t find it, then it obviously doesn&#039;t exist as a legitimate issue.  A little naive.</description>
