@martin, neither is a sense of class, respect or civility for that matter. Franken was a “known quantity and quality” and most likely fraudulently elected. All those “stray” ballots that were “found” gives me pause for thought.

Regardless, the current mode for Liberals seems to be “We won so You All can go to hell” is neither flattering or deserving of applause. Despite your take on it the floor of the US Senate is not a bar room or a Middle School schoolyard where the class bully makes the rules.

I expect Franken to behave like a jackass. That is in character for him. I’m sure that his constituents are very proud of their choice. The floor of the Senate is for taking care of the Nation’s business, not a stage for rude jackasses or a SNL skit. What goes around always comes around.

His turn in the barrel is coming.

Over the years I have had CODELs and Senators visit in theater for helicopter rides, briefings that they don’t understand, get a meal at the DFAC, shake paws with constituents and are generally a nuisance until they leave. Should Mr. Franken come to visit I can guarantee him an interesting time.
He will be safe but no lollipops or a pat on the head. He is just a politician since Air America tanked.

Aye, a big part of being a leftist is being massively unaware of how ignorant, close minded, and bigoted one is.
CRAP displays this quite well then further eats his own foot trying to play the moral equivalency game and hijack the thread.

What did Reid think would happen when he gave power to franken-moron? The man has shown himself to mentally unstable on multiple occasions. I get the feeling guys like him were the type found in the SS. However he would have been a paper pusher as I believe him to be a coward.

@Real American Patriot:

CRAP, even after Mata’s expert explanation you still haven’t realized that you’ve brought a basket of apples to a pear festival.

Again.

Let me help you…Can you provide an example where the “presiding officer” made the objection?

No?

Didn’t think so.

As my favorite comedian, Tater Salad, likes to say: “You can’t fix stupid.”

2) Does your wife know yet?

Yo buffoon… wasn’t worth addressing as, like in any court of law, an opposing attorney can “object”, but the decision comes from the bench… which just happened to be the Senatorial buffoon “objecting” with the gavel in hand. duh wuh

The protocol of objecting is one thing. That the “objection” comes from the supposedly unbiased gaveled one is another thing entirely.

Speaking of dodging issues, you volunteered to us that you were unemployed as of fall 2008, and blamed Bush. After 11 months of unemployment… well past any normal extension… you let us know you felt is was your right to continue claiming benefits because unemployment existed (at the employers expense) so that you were rightly allowed to ask for your taxpayer hand out to avoid being “underemployed”.

Frankly, I’m hoping you found a position. Best for you, family, and nation. If not… care to volunteer if you still feel justified living on the taxpayer since you don’t want an “underemployed” position?

LOL, Aye. That’s because CRAP’s comprehension of nuances… ala Franken specifically saying “as a Senator…” to preface his remark… slips over his head.

Dumb is dumb… and it’s still a shame that basic idiocy tests, along with legal citizenship, aren’t a requirement prior to voting. sigh…

Got a job yet, CRAP? Or still living off of Congressional extensions because you refuse to be “under employed”? Sorry you aren’t part of the “unemployment “number?

@Speaking of buffoons… here comes CRAP right on cue.

Tell me, CRAP… who was the “presiding officer” over that McCain/Dayton exchange? Convenient omission of facts? What a surprise from your buds at KOs.

Perhaps the most insidious Senatorial joke is the Senate putting Franken in a chair, armed with a gavel….

And to the new troll entry…. Lieberman’s status as a sorta conservative on some issues and sorta liberal on others isn’t the issue. The issue is Senate rules, protocol and general respect of aisles… not to mention who gets to hold the gavel and why…
