Al Franken - Dork With a Satellite On His Head

Al Franken is running for Senate in Minnesota, which is a REALLY bad idea. He ignorantly believes that everyone thinks as he does, which leads to some hilariously stupid stunts. Case in point: he recently called for a town hall meeting for veterans to complain about how they were being treated by Vet Affairs... only one person showed up. Haha. Anyway, I hope he'll lose, hopefully. I don't have time to go into the gross hypocrisy of this ignorant nubbin, it's bad though - using Jesus Christ to assail NeoCons when you don't believe in Jesus. Ugh. I just thought I'd post a picture of how I remember him... how I'll *always* remember him. As an grinning moron making an ass out of himself as he desperately tries to extract laughter from an audience responding with a huge, collective "er... yeah". Here's Al in all his moronic glory:

Update. Franken barely won his election bid, despite the fact that Obama swept in that state. The fact that he almost lost to a *Republican* opponent in a state that voted in Obama by a 54% margin is actually amazing. This just goes to show how incredibly unqualified he was, and how much voters in Minnesota didn't like him. What it meant was, *several hundred thousand* voters had to vote for Obama, and then specifically vote against Franken, instead of being able to vote straight Democrat. In the regional races, where Republican or Democratic candidates won, the Presidential candidates also won, meaning that in a district that went for McCain, the Republican (local) candidate won, and vice-versa for the Democratic candidate and Obama. Here, though, voters had to specifically vote FOR Obama and AGAINST Franken on the statewide level. What this means is, hundreds of thousands of people who voted for Obama voted AGAINST Franken! They actually took the time to vote all Democrat on the whole election form, voting for all Democrats in the local races, but voted AGAINST Franken for Senator. That takes some serious dislike to do that. Do you think Franken learned his lesson, that Minnesota thinks he's a tool? Probably not, he'll just jaunt his way to Washington with a big chip on his shoulder and cocky as hell. Yikes, I feel sorry for Minnesota. No. Scratch that. I don't feel sorry for them, they were dumb enough to vote for this guy.
