LIBERAL MAGAZINE EXPOSES ANDY BARR’S SECRET – HIS NICKNAME IS “SCOOTER”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 20, 2008
Minnesota Monthly magazine has exposed a little secret about Team Franken staffer and Franken confidant, Andy Barr. This is a hoot:
“Until veteran political operative Schriock was hired in May, Barr—a 24-year-old former Team Franken member (known to some as ‘Scooter’)—had split managing duties with another campaign worker.” Source: Minnesota Monthly, June 28, 2008
In future posts on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Andy Barr will be referred to only by his nickname, Scooter.

This is absolutely hilarious, Scooter Barr, the east coast elite who tells Al Franken whatever he wants to hear.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:03 AM
Just like Scooter Libby, that’s awesome dude!
June 20th, 2008 at 11:06 AM
look forward to the breaking news on the derivation of “Scooter” as a nickname for young Andy.
Perhaps one of his cronies from the all male a capella group he was in at Hah-vahd coined the cute moniker.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:07 AM
Your side already holds the trademark on the name Scooter.
Remember, the guy who took the fall for his boss’s efforts to get a political opponent’s wife killed, only to be pardoned by the president?
But if you want to keep reminding people of how corrupt this president and his lap dogs like Norm Coleman are, well, so be it.

Hey Leroy…put down the bong.
Valerie Plame, when the whole outing thing happened, was a desk jockey at Langley. Not a CIA spy in the field. The biggest danger she ever faced in this incident was if she got a paper cut shuffling papers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Franken_Show
This wasn’t a secret to people that listen to Franken’s radio show. Al would often refer to him as “Scooter”.

“Remember, the guy who took the fall for his boss’s efforts to get a political opponent’s wife killed, only to be pardoned by the president?”
Perhaps the funniest thing I’ve ever read. What color is the sky in your world?
June 20th, 2008 at 12:03 PM
“This wasn’t a secret to people that listen to Franken’s radio show.”
If it’s only known by you, Al and 5 other people, it’s pretty much a secret.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Here on terra firma, Chestnut, the color is blue. God – and you – only know what color it is in the fanatasy playworld you reside on.
But, by all means – keep posting! It’s guys like you that convince moderates and independents that the GreedOverPrinciples party is filled with whackjobs.
Scrotee does a heck of a job doin’ that, too.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
They must call him Scooter because he is unable to drive. If you see a scooter parked in front of Fraken for Senate you obviously know who it belongs to, or can you even drive one of those Andy?
June 20th, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Never can quite understand the hatred and anger that drip off of the members of the Christian Right’s flagship party.
Instead of spewing out unproductive, ad hominem venom, how about grabbing a shovel to fill sandbags for our brothers & sisters facing floods along the Mississippi River – or is that TOO Christian for you?
June 20th, 2008 at 1:17 PM
That is an unfair and hurtful statement.
Anyone who knows Andy or has known of his history working with children could tell you that he is MORE than perfectly capable of “driving” a scooter.
By the way, in scooter parlance, the verb is ‘ride’. check your facts guys, check your facts…
June 20th, 2008 at 1:20 PM
Hey W,
How about you check the statements that your boy Angry Al has made over the past 30 years of a career in comedy. Then I think you will know what anger and hatred really is.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Tommy, you are anywhere but on terra firma. You’re one of the most delusional whack-jobs out there. A hate-filled, delusional whack-job.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Wow, how grown up of you Mikey. Maybe all the librul bloggers should start referring to Michael Brodkorb only by the other names they have for him.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:37 PM
GREAT SCOOPER SCOP AWESOME NEWS I READ HERE:
JACK SHEPARD http://WWW.JACKSHEPARDFORSENATE.COM
June 20th, 2008 at 1:46 PM
YES- I am Jack Shepard-www.jackshepardforsenate.com
YES- I am running against Sen. Norm Coleman in the GOP Senate Primary in Minnesota on Sept. 9, 2008.
YES- face it no one likes Norm Coleman but Norm Coleman
YES- we need a change anyone but NORM CHANGE
I am running TO WIN TO SEND A VERY UNHAPPY UNLIKED NORM COLEMAN WITH ALL HIS MONEY IN SPEECHES AND DOMATION HOUSE TO BE A LOBBYIST FOR MILLIONS PER YEAR.
NORM SHARES HIS OFFICE WITH Lobbyists IN MINNESOTA; good start!!
Why am I alway right when it comes to Norm History story! Rages to Surgery to Senate story!
DO ANTONE BUT NORM IS BETTER REALLY- HE TOOK MONEY HE DID NOT DO THE WISHES OF MINNESOTANS- YOU REPUBLCIANS WILL LOVE ME IN UNIFORM!!!
TO WIN I NEED TO get a massive DFL, independent, anti-war and just anti- Norm Coleman people to crossover and be republicans for the day we can eliminate Norm Coleman from the Minnesota U.S. Senate Race, so then Al Franken can win. Norm Coleman has a 10% lead presently and is running dirt political attacks on Al Franken calling him a “foul mouth Tax Cheat†with $7,000,000 of donation money he still has on hand from Big Lobbies, Big Business, Big Pharm etc. Sen. Norm Coleman can get the Minnesota Voters to believe anything.
My anti-Coleman web site is http://www.jackshepardforsenate.com please if you wish like I wish that the DFL endorsed Al Franken gets elected and become Minnesota’s next U.S. Senator Al Franken because now it does not look too good!!!
aL TELL YOUR SUPPORTERS tell all your DFL members TO CROSSOVER AND vote for almost unelectable Jack Shepard “ the weakest candidate with no money†only in the GOP Primary on Sept. 9, 2008 because if I beat Sen. Norm Coleman and then NORM COLEMAN IS ELIMINATED FROM THE MINNESOTA U.S. SENATE RACE COMPLETELY ON SEPT. 9- Enabling Al Franken to 100% win in the Minnesota General Election and easily get elected.
Also important Norm Coleman will not run the last 2 months of his $7,000,000 on his personal dirty political attack advertisements on the character of Al Franken.
Remember only with a massive strong organization LIKE YOURS spreading the word can we surprise Sen. Norm Coleman and by having your members crossover and only vote in the GOP primary for me, Jack Shepard just to eliminate Sen. Norm Coleman because then you are guaranteed that your candidate DFL endorsed Al Franken will win the Minnesota General Election because he will not even face Senator Norm Coleman, because if your members surprise Norm Coleman and crossover and vote for Jack Shepard, Sen. Norm Coleman’s name will not even be on the Minnesota General election Ballot and Senator Al Franken will get elected Minnesota next U.S. Senator.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
Jack . . . come on, man.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:33 PM
Don’t be so hard on Jack Shepherd. He was dropped repeatedly on his head as a child, ate his weight in lead paint and is possessed by multiple personalities, the most dominant of which is Ron Paul’s retarded cousin.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Very mature Michael, but with a name like Brodkorb, better not throw stones…
June 20th, 2008 at 4:26 PM
MBB: “In future posts on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Andy Barr will be referred to only by his nickname Scooter.”
Rhymes with:
Laura Brooder, Hooter, computer, looter, suiter, Jeb McGruder, tooter, booter, polluter, Erik Paulsenooter.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:29 PM
That should have been more properly spelled JEB MAGRUDER, NOT Jeb McGruder.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Perhaps a “Kitchen Crossover” would be a good name for Jack’s Campaign. It might go well with Laurie Coleman’s Green Screen Test.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:30 PM
[...] guess is that Franken, Scooter, Two-Putt Tommy and the rest of the gang are somewhere looking for the Loch Ness Monster and [...]
June 20th, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Isn’t there an ice cream treat called a “Scooter Crunch Bar(r)”?
June 20th, 2008 at 11:25 PM
I haven’t heard of it but, I have heard of “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire”
I hope that is isn’t:
Chestnut’s roasting on an open fire. That sounds a bit Joan of Arc or Witchy Woman
June 21st, 2008 at 6:46 AM
You people are great.
One question really in the Minnesota General Election who going to win between Sen. Norm Coleman or Al Franken.
1) If you answer is Senator Norm Coleman will easily win re-election.
2) Question if you were Al Franken, Scooter Barr, Two-Putt Tommy and the rest of the gang what would you do?
3) Would you Rush Limbaugh Norm and Al Franken wins? Or would you as you say stay in the Kitchen and take it with a smile!
At least visit my web site http://www.jackshepardforsenate.com to hear my videos where I explain my reasons.
Dear Chestnut thanks for the defense, ” He was dropped repeatedly on his head as a child (lucky I might have finished Dental School at the age 17 Years old), ate his weight in lead paint (But I was still the youngest Dentist to graduate in Minnesota history from the University of Minnesota at the age 23 when it was a 4 year program- the University of Minnesota has a world class Dental and Medical school especially with the Mayo Collaboration.
I tell that was work ( I began and was in Dental School at age 19 years and graduated 6 years later with a BS and DDS:
This is play: doing God work just following my destiny!
You will also see in the not too distance future how lucky Minnesota is to have a better then Norm Coleman typo running against him in the GOP Primary.
and your statement” is possessed by multiple personalities”. Here you hit the head on the nail, no the nail on the head yes I have let Jesus Christ into my heart but I wait and I wait and am still waiting for Norm Coleman ” Norm just does not practice; The Ninth Commandment –
“You shall not bear false witness” The press calls it using the spin or flip-flopping sadly I call it good old fashion lying!
Poor Norm remembers what Jesus said about lawyers?
I mostly think” to post the 10 commandments in the present U. S. Senate would create a hostile work environment to post things like “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery”, and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of past lawyers, judges and politicians.”
Jack Shepard – if you even knew anything past what Patrick Sweeny wrote about me in a few articles 4 years ago. This year Patrick Sweeny will announce for his professional integrity if he is still alive that my dental office was never even touched by fire and nothing my equipment, my patient records were no targeted. To say the least after 8 months in Stillwater Prison and no doing what the gangs or individuals wished one would get many enemies. I would not play ball but I gave as good as I got.
If you wish to be collaborators? I need your Collaboration!
Jack Shepard can you image if I won, the newspapers throughout American can shit on me-what a story!
June 21st, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Jack,
how is your dental practice now? up in flames?
June 21st, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Would you not be happy if i beat norm?????????????’
That is one of the reasons beside you can read http://www.jackshepardforsenate.com
I do these political runs, is to clear my name and year after year correct the incorrect and untrue writing of Patrick Sweeney in his original stories he wrote about me.
He is retired now. But last election Patrick Sweeney read my SOS statement because he wrote a story after ½ correcting himself saying my unlawful possession of narcotics was for prescription medicine 6 pain pills to be exact that I had in my emergency cabinet with antibiotic etc.
What he did not say I at the time which the judge did not know had a Minnesota States licence to possess those very same medicines like every dentists or doctor in Minnesota especially in my dental office while I was working on a patient literally when the police where called to come and get me after a girl I was living with set me up with some other lies, which I never found out why the Police even came to arrest me for what change.
Also while >I was in Stillwater Prison my narcotics licence expired all public record and the Minnesota Board after I explained what happened agreed with me and said to me I did not break any law that I had every legal right to possess those pain medicine because at the time I had legal licence to posses them.
The Minnesota Board re-issued me a new all Schedule Narcotic Licence to possess and prescribe the same medicine.When I got out of >prison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy world!
The Problem the only things you know about me is what Patrick Sweeney wrote or choose not to write about me!! really sad do not you think!!
Do you belive everything every writer says and writes??
It is so you do not know but 2 things about me(fugitive felon) and you think that is all there is to my 61 years on living on this planet!
Do you think the Minnesota Board would do that if they thought I was guilty?
I hope he is a live to clear the record and tell the exact truth, His ethical reputation stands on it. Anyone can go to the fire department and ask if the dental surgery of Dr. Shepard was 1708 Lake St. was destroyed or was the fire started in my bedroom while I was sleep on another floor like Dr. Shepard says.
And another fire started by the door so I would have trouble to get out the door. Some people in prison may not have like me becasue I would not do what wish. I am not a chicken-hawk like Norm Coleman.
It should have happen to you, I lost everything I had, and there was no motive.
It may be funny for you a joke, but the truth was not told by Patrick Sweeney in his stories; my dental office or any of my dental records, files or equipment was not even touched by fire.
I was attacking on a different floor of the building in my bedroom while I sleep, ask Patrick Sweeny, in my volunteer disclosure for the SOS I am going to comment on that one.
I almost got burn today the sun was so strong!
I really feel it over the years the dangers and intensity of the rays have increased many many times.
I can change colors and tan like today in 2 hours and if I was not dark completion I thank God of that because I love the sun I would have burn 100%, it was only my second day in the sun. Working for YOU?
Tomorrow it will be over 100 degrees I love the heat ( ha ha!) or I would not be trying so hard to get my name cleared. Remember my file was for a quarter of a century inactive literally in error the I last heard 25 years ago after I left for my own protection.
Do you think if I was guilty I would make such a public try to clear my name and bring the subject up again; everywhere the last 25 years my destiny that has followed me and pushed me through the world I feel was and is for a reason, to use what I have experiences and learned from these experiences to help others.
Let’s hope I do not get too burn tomorrow laying in the sun, but I really think in the year 2009 people like me are needed in political office because for example me have lived and travel for about 2/3’s of me life abroad and being crosser to the action I understand it better then most Americans and for sure most U.S. Senators, they never get to travel and if they travel they might talk to a person who has been picked to talk to them by the government they are visiting for 15 minute.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:03 PM
It APPEARS that Norm may have traveled from the kitchen, to the garbage can in the back yard, lifted up a garbage can lid, and dropped the garbage bag in the garbage container.
One could name it: DROP & PLOP.
