If the republican plan is to run out the clock talking about things Al wrote for Saturday Night Live and not addressing the real issues facing Minnesotans today, I think the voters will recognize that the state is worse not only because Norm has no plan for the future, but because he dredged up a lot of off color stuff from the history books, and gave it all a much larger audience than it had ever received in the first place.

When does pretending to be outraged about a particular statement or joke lose its validity when you are the one providing it to a new audience?

Also he will have to spend his own money. That sucks.

If the Republican National Committee (RNC) doesn’t want money to help fund the Republican National Convention (RNC), they why did they go around he country and the State of Minnesota and ask for PUBLIC & PRIVATE MONEY?

Each of this year’s conventions will be SUBSIDIZED with $16.4 MILLION in TAXPAYER DOLLARS, but that is not the only subsidy. Corporate contributions to the host committees are TAX DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE DONORS.

MIKE CIRESI IS A SOLID MINNESOTA CITIZEN who grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Examine the PRIVATE AND PUBLIC FOUNDATIONS, and examine the work ethic, before you shoot from the hip.

That slogan is carved into the desk set of every ambulance chasing, scumbag lawyer in the country.

“Some folks win the lottery, some have a great voice and develop their talent, some play winning football or baseball.”

Right, and others attach themselves to the success of others and suck their wallets dry like a cash parasite.

Is that an anagram for: They have no shame.

You’ve done such a good job of helping Al “man up” I wouldn’t be surprised if he offered to take you back to New York with him after he gets his ass handed to him in November…but don’t do it!

In all likely-hood, he’s mistaken your k-mart army man suit for a door man’s uniform. We all know that his former door man quit and he’s probably just looking for a new lacky; with favors.

Damn, isn’t leadership is doing a heckuva job?

His father was an immigrant. Mike’s mother died when he was young.

He worked. Graduated from the U of MN Law School, I believe.

He involved in public and private foundations that give back to the Minnesota communities.

He is recently wealthy; he EARNED it.

Some folks win the lottery, some have a great voice and develop their talent, some play winning football or baseball. I don’t understand what some Republicans have against a working, successful Democrat.

It seems to me that one (1) of the two (2) majority parties in Minnesota is the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

O.k., so they donate a few million to charitable causes. That shouldn’t excuse them from causing trillions in harm to society.

I think that the amount of foundation money given away is in at least the top three in the state of Minnesota.

The money that eventually goes to the children attending the St. Paul Public Schools and the children attending the Minneapolis Public Schools is huge.

The money goes where it is needed and it’s been done quietly.

In addition the settlement that Mike had with Big Tobacco gives the State of Minnesota 200 million dollars EVERY YEAR. [That is not counting the lump sum.]

The only problem that “Satire Al” faces is that the guy with the hyphenated name is still in the race (not to be taken as a comment on the ethnicity of any candidate past or present), so anything is possible!

DFL shows real self, nominates fellow deviant Franken

Dems overlook corruption, deviance, select Franken.

I’m hearing lots of chatter about this weekend. If Ciresi or Clark jump in, it’s an almost definite locked convention. CDs 1, 7 and 8 are are showing pretty wicked movement away from Franken. The uncoms. are leaning away from Franken, the JNPS are sitting tight, and the few Ciresis seem to still be undecided.

Crazy.

Failed satirist Franken nabs DFL endorsement

Franken’s in a Minnesota Pickle.

Republican female Annette Meeks, one (1) of six (6) signers of a letter, was a voluntary FM radio station’s “Polichick,” at the Mall of America.

The Republican National Convention (RNC) Planning Website had a section called “GET YOUR SEXY ON.”

Governor Jesse Ventura has made verbal and written comments about sex.

FEMALE USA MILITARY PERSONNEL in the WAR IN IRAQ have been victims of rape; some have been raped by USA military personnel or are terrified about being raped.

Oh, wait – he’ll move to D.C. for a cushy lobbyist job, instead…..

Maybe it’s time for Al Franken to move on back home to New York City.

Leroy is right. If these DFL women don’t like reading stories Al wrote about raping Leslie Stahl, masturbating with robots, killing women, they should just drop out of the race. He doesn’t need them dragging him down.

Yeah, that satire about killing women and raping them is some funny stuff that exposes a greater truth.

maybe the libs have some values after all.
