SOURCES: FRANKEN CAMPAIGN MELTDOWN OVER “SNL” AS “NEW YORK AL” ENTOURAGE DOES BATTLE WITH “NEW YORK CHUCK” ENTOURAGE
By Michael B. Brodkorb | September 21, 2008
I’ve been working the phones over the last few hours regarding the growing story behind Al Franken’s involvement in crafting a skit that aired on “SNL” last evening.
According to my sources, Franken was scheduled to be Osseo yesterday, but he didn’t show up to the previously advertised campaign event. Franken’s cancellation occurred around the time the Politico’s story was getting ready to published. My sources also indicated that key Democrats in Minnesota and Washington D.C. were still “fuming” over this incident.
I’m hearing rumblings about disagreements and “heated discussions” at Franken HQ about how this situation was handled and also questions about who at NBC leaked the information to the Politico. It clear that someone who doesn’t like Franken was behind this story.
My sources concluded that the real story about how Franken became involved with this “SNL” skit is the division in Team Franken that exists between the “New York Al [Franken]” entourage and the “New York Chuck [Schumer]” entourage. “Scooter” Barr is clearly still in charge of the campaign and is battling the east-coast transplants and Washington D.C. staffers who have parachuted into Minnesota to try and save Franken’s “foundering†campaign
Please check back to Minnesota Democrats Exposed for more information on this developing story.

Being this thing is a non-story, might as well start making up stories about it, right? This post is the most pathetic SNL-related post yet. Gotta love it when your campaign can’t talk issues and you resort to making up stuff.
MDE has been a fantastic barometer of how desperate Team Coleman is.

“foundering”??!?
You got Governor Moose Meat desperately delaying TrooperGate; you got ol’ Smokescreen desperately ignoring RentGate and UtilitiesGate and AdGate; and you are calling Franken’s campaign “foundering”??!?
Coleman is running the sleaziest campaign in the country – with the possible exception of Gordon Smith.
Then again, Coleman is the most corrupt politician this state has seen in a long, Long, LONG time.

I’ve talked with enough high up Franken people today to know that this “story” is utter BS.
The only person in a twitter over this is an over-compensated, and apparently bored Paulsen staffer. Folks in Al’s office are too busy winning an election to notice when their boss moonlights for one of the most popular television programs in history.
The wheels must be falling off Norm’s rubber stamp express. For them to take time to talk about this proved that they must be done lying to the people about Norm’s supposed accomplishments.

Angry Al is bringing in the other Al, who claimed to have helped create the internet.
I recall the last time that Al Gore came to town to “help” a candidate. It was Sharon Sales Belton running for re-election as Mayor of Minneapolis.
You might recall Sales Belton lost decisively.

A compulsive gambler tends to “double down”. It seems that Angry Al did this with the SNL skit. There are a number of admittedly embarassing moments in Angry Al’s SNL past, the hard drug use and the proposed skit of CBS 60 minutes where Angry Al proposed that Andy Rooney drug rape Leslie Stahl.
Angry Al’s minions might argue that the SNL past is being continually brought up. Here, Angry Al’s actions revive the SNL issue so it’s ripe for discussion again.
There is also the potential for discussion of “liberal bias” from the NBC group of TV and cable networks.
Added to that, the skit was not funny. The guy playing MCCain was monotone and there was no attempt to even make the female adviser represent Sarah Palen. The voice over was a bit funny but more like the movie trailer voice guy who died recently. After reading about the exaggeration attempt I so or saw it when I watched the skit the second time online.
It the basic “Bush’s Brain” thing but the female advisor to McCain was generic rather than a Karl Rove type.
I guess those who listen to Airhead America radio would find it hysterical but as they say when it’s raining on your days off, “I guess the waterfoul like it!”.

Look what the cat, err, I mean the Drudge Report just dragged in!
NBC jokes: Todd Palin has sex with daughters
‘Saturday Night Live’ skit suggests Sarah’s husband guilty of incest.

Hmm! Angry Al calls up SNL and suddendly they come up with a statutory rape incest skit! You might recall Angry Al proposing a SNL skit with Andy Rooney drug raping Leslie Stahl.
Keep digging, Angry Al.

Yeah, non-story. It’s in major newspapers, on Drudge, all over the place but to these clowns, simply because they say so, we’re supposed to believe it’s a “non-story”.
Ignore the man behind the curtain….
These paid lefty bloggers are all idiots.

I saw two homes in my neighborhood that had Franken signs take them down yesterday. Might have had something to do with the rest of the neighbors laughing at their support of Angry Al.

Let me guess Michael… Your “source” is Ron Carey?

Angry Al’s pinhead posse is assembled for their precision asshat drill.
HA!
Minnesota voters are warming up the tar and plucking chickens for Al on November 4th.

Minnesota voters are warming up the tar and plucking chickens for Al on November 4th.
I think Minnesota voters are warming up their collective yawn for the one-act carpetbagger.
September 22nd, 2008 at 8:33 am
average, ol’ Smokescreen’s had more than one act.
So, does “Carpetbagger Norm” stay where he is and become a D.C. lobbyist next January, or does he head west to join the family “bidness” selling widgets?

Sorry Tommy he’s going to be a United States Senator for the next six years. We don’t Al and the corruption he will support for Obama and the Democrats in Congress. After all you claim you care about corruption yet you keep looking away from the corruption you’re suporting.

The Franken people are clearly nervous about this situation, they have called out the guns to try and make it seem like they are not concerned and that this is a “non-story”
On the other hand, Gore did come and help out Klobuchar in ‘06, but it should be abundantly obvious to anyone paying attention that Al is no Amy and Norm is no Kennedy!

Al Franken is not for Minnesota because of the following reasons.
He is a…
“Loser”
“Scum Bag”
“Pervert”
“New York Liberal”
“Creep”
