Inhofe: No disrespect, but Franken’s a ‘clown.’
Inhofe: No disrespect, but Franken’s a ‘clown.’
On the same day the Minnesota Supreme Court declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of the state’s U.S. Senate election, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) welcomed his newest colleague to the Senate by referring to him as a “clown.” In the course of predicting that the Waxman-Markey clean energy bill would be “dead in the water” upon its arrival in the Senate, Inhofe extended an unprofessional greeting to Franken. The Tulsa World reports:
“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota,’’ he said.
“They are not going to get more than 35 votes.”
Asked if he was referring to Al Franken as the clown from Minnesota, Inhofe confirmed he was.
“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a living he is a clown,’’ the senator said.
“That’s what he does for a living.’’
Franken was a professional comedian — not a “clown” — while working on the cast Saturday Night Live. But now he’s a U.S. senator…just like Inhofe. And unlike Inhofe, he’s been a political commentator, the author of best-selling political books, and host of a nationally-syndicated radio show on Air America.

Sorry but the Republican reflex apology is worn out. You don’t mean the apology but you did mean the disrespect. Just man up and admit you are a narrow minded, bigoted idiot. The rest of the world already knows.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:10 pmNo disrespect, but Inhofe is the kind of person who doesn’t belong in elected office because he’s both ignorant and dangerous. He is also one of the least effective senators ever. All he does is spout vitriolic fundamentalist rhetoric, vote the far-right party line, and tour military bases at US expense.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:10 pmAnd Inhofe, remember, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:11 pmSounds like Senator Dummy is begging to have someone unearth his resume.
What’s on there?

..anything else, Senator Dummy, that you’re especially proud of, that particularly entitles you to sit in the Senate??
July 1st, 2009 at 1:11 pmIf Inhofe meant “clown” as a synonym for comedian, I doubt if Al Franken would take offense. Al knows the value of a clown — one who amuses as a means to deliver truth.
But what are the chances that Inhofe really meant it that way? More likely he meant the same way our Flea Market Troll means it — as an object of ridicule.
in which case, paleolib again hits the nail on the head.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pmImagine what Inhofe would say if Stormy Daniels unseats David Vitter…
July 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pm“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a living he is a clown,” the senator said.

Fair enough. So, really, the only difference between Inhofe and Franken is that Al Franken made his living being INTENTIONALLY funny.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:14 pmIf Franken’s a clown, he’s a heck of a better one than the bunch of clowns he’s joining.

July 1st, 2009 at 1:17 pmIf we had a truly librul media today’s headline would read…
“CLOWN BEATS REPUBLICAN!”
And I’m sure Senator Franken would be laughing all the way to DC.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:17 pmYeah, Franken’s a clown, and with a couple hundred more degrees of degradation, he can be a Republican. With a few thousand more degrees of degradation he can be as ignorant an imbecile as Jim Inhofe, who is certain that global warming is a fraud, and there are no homosexuals in his family. I suspect he is led to that conclusion by having witnessed them all marry their siblings.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:18 pmNot to get all elitist, and with no disrespect intended, the good senator from OK graduated from the U of Tulsa at age 38, Franken was cum laude from Harvard.

July 1st, 2009 at 1:34 pmInhofe is going to be in for a shock the first time he takes on Franken in a debate. Franken has been successful as a comedy writer, a comedian, a writer, and a talk show host because he is intelligent and he works at it. Franken will, in all likelihood, be just as intelligent and work equally hard at being Senator. Franken may sport a big red nose, but Inhofe will sport a big red kicked a** if he tries to debate Franken.

July 1st, 2009 at 1:42 pmApparently Inhofe doesn’t know the difference between a comedian and a clown. But even if Franken was a clown, so what? We’ve had people from all walks of life get elected to office — entertainers (Ronald Reagan, Fred Grandy, Sonny Bono), athletes (Bill Bradley, Steve Largent), entertainer athletes (Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Jesse Ventura), physicians (Howard Dean, Bill Frist), peanut farmers (Jimmy Carter), and even real estate developers (Inhofe).
Besides, in addition to his career as a professional comedian, Franken graduated cum laude from Harvard with a degree in political science, and he’s a published author.
What’s Inhofe done? Oh yeah — he headed the Quaker Life Insurance Company and ran it into the ground.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:43 pmConsidering the bang up job being done by the serious types on the hill I say, Send in the Clowns. It is always better to laugh than to cry. And it is quite clear that serious ain’t gettin the job done.

Do you suppose Meredith was referring to rape jokes and prancing around in a speedo? Still, with a choice between a known fool and probable criminal, the fool was probably the better choice. ;)
July 1st, 2009 at 1:46 pmFranken attended Harvard College and graduated cum laude in 1973 with a bachelor of arts degree in political science.
Inhofe received a B.A. degree from the University of Tulsa in 1973, at the age of 38.
Which person is better suited to be a Senator? Duh!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:49 pmI doubt if Meredith would dismiss any joke simply based on a facile description from a partisan.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:50 pmYes, but Inhofe and his other Oklahoma pal, Coburn, are, perhaps, the craziest people in Congress. They have worked hard to win this title. However, Michele Bachmann is trying to take the title away from them.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:50 pm,,,
i saw meredith on the tonight show once.

July 1st, 2009 at 1:51 pmAnyone who considers Senator Franken a fool because of his past is in for a monumental surprise.
Just remember widdle Cramer after a visit to another ‘fool’.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:52 pmWell, pags, I’d say that Inhofe’s qualifications make him better suited to be a senator from Oklahoma, and Franken’s make him better suited to be a senator from anywhere else.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:52 pmToo much talking. We need action instead. Go after these bastards and make them pay. I would suggest one little action with which to start. Everyone reading this post needs to call Inhoffe’s office and demand a public apology. If that does not work, then I suggest stronger action. These bastards must be made to pay. This is gang warfare. Get them, destroy them, make them wish they were dead. Nothing less is satisfactory.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:53 pmOh, I disagree, Bonnie. I think Shelly Bachmann is clearly the points leader in this race.
Of course, she has the advantage of being in the House, where crazy seems to be encouraged. The Senate, being a little more staid, is a tougher room to work.
So, I guess the comedy team of Inhofe and Coburn really deserves a lot of respect for its accomplishments in this field.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:54 pmI had to go to Minnesota one time (it was and will be the last) those people are weird, man! They look weird, they dress weird and they talk weird. And they drink alot to. But in talking to a few of the smarter Minnesotans its all a big joke and are they laughing their asses off or what….Jesse “the body” who never really lived there…..and now they send Stewart Smally to Washington just to watch what he does and laugh, laugh, laugh……thanks Minnisota…real funny!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:56 pmYou don’t need to call Inhofe’s office because it is a waste of time. The best solution would be for the mainsteam media to keep reporting the absurd statements of the neocons. They don’t need to make fools of themselves; it is a natural talent.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:57 pmNo, no, no.
You gotta understand how Al Franken works. His comedy is not confrontational. It’s more along the improvisational line of “Yes, but…” He uses the material others put out there, and then makes them look foolish. You demand that Inhofe apologize, and you’re depriving of Senator Franken of the clay he needs to use in his work.
Sure, Al will be a Senator and not a comedian, but I’m looking forward to a few good zingers every now and then. Kind of like when he pwned Ann Coulter.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:00 pmTo use vernacular that even a republican should be able to comprehend…it takes one to know one.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:03 pmDuring the campaign, Frankin said, “I have a 1 point lead in the polls, and I’m confident I can double that lead over the next few weeks.”
July 1st, 2009 at 2:04 pmYou know, the clownish thing about this freemarketliberal troll is that he’s wrong… on everything, just like the rest of the republiclowns.
Sure they talk a big game, they sound so authoritative, but the bottom line is they are wrong. Wrong on the economy, wrong on health care, wrong on the environment, wrong of foreign policy.
You see you silly little clown/troll, the republiclowns had their chance. Starting with Ronnie Raygun and culminating in Dumbya’s 8 year reign of malfeasance (which was a conservative wet dream in that everything you people ever wanted was implemented with incredibly and undeniably disastrous results), America is in the worst shape it’s been in since the Great Depression.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:05 pmI don’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but… for a living Inhofe is a whore. That’s what he does for a living.

July 1st, 2009 at 2:14 pmFranken graduated with highest honors from Harvard with a degree in political science where he was also a math athlete. Inhofe got his degree (?) from the University of Tulsa (snort) in 1973 at age 38 and we don’t know what his degree is but he’d held state office since the mid 60s so it may be honorary. He eventually became President of Quaker Life Insurance which went into receivership under him and liquidated.

Pay no attention to idiot GOP Senator behind the curtain. Welcome to politics, Senator Al Franken. This is what you will be faced once you are sworn in next week as the junior Senator for Minnesota. You will be dealing with morons and psycho talking from wingnuts like Inhofe. Inhofe and the rest of the wingnut GOP are clinging on to their pearls because there are now 60 Democratic Senators thanks to the Supreme Court putting Norm out of the Senate business for good. Have your head up high, Al, as you walk to Capitol Hill as the new Senator and representative of Minnosota.

The Democrat did win, doofus. Pee Pants Coleman just felt like he needed to spend millions of dollars to get the court to tell him so.

Dork, that is what courts are supposed to do when the results are close. And they are supposed to do it honestly. Something the Supremes missed back in 2000 because it wasn’t socially acceptable to wear Depends under their robes.

July 1st, 2009 at 2:50 pmoopsie…sorry for the double post.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:52 pmNo senator Imofe, it is you and most of the other politicians in Washington DC who are the clowns and none of you are even funny or make us laugh, well we do laugh at your expense and at our detriment.
Oh my God the U.S. senate now has a former comedian in it’s hallowed halls. How dare we allow this. It wasn’t a comedian who has proceeded over the worst economy since the great depression. It wasn’t a comedian who allowed himself to be lied into supporting a unnecessary, costly war. It wasn’t a comedian who deregulated the banking and financial sectors, it was clowns like you Senator Imofe and the cruel joke was on we the people, who are no longer laughing and the ones who are laughing are only doing this to keep from blowing their brains out.
Go Al Franken! I believe you will make the people of Minnesota and the rest of the United States proud. I believe Al is cut from the same cloth as the late Paul Wellstone when it comes to fighting for the little people.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:53 pmInhofe just thinks that because Michele Bachman comes from Minnesota it stands to reason that everyone from that state is a clown – just like everyone from Oklahoma is an idiot, like him….

Bush Vs Gore: 2000?

No whining, I accept the decision. I just never want to hear a Dem cry about Bush v Gore.

bush – 50,456,002 47.87%

July 1st, 2009 at 2:54 pmI’m sorry. I forgot. What decision did the Florida Supreme Court render upon the Gore vs. Bush voting fiasco?
July 1st, 2009 at 3:00 pmAl Franken is intentionally a clown. That’s the difference.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:03 pmslappy dip$hit is not here to post anything intelligent. It’s posts consists of non funny material, with little bits of Progressive slams, usually hidden between garbage of words.
But, I do believe it cracks itself up.
Sadly, it’s the only one.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:03 pmNo court decided the election, stupid troll. The election was decided by the recount. The finding of two courts, by unanimous decision, was that the recount stands.
I might also add that, contrary to what the screeching Reichwhiners would like to believe, the first official count had Franken up by 208 votes and the recount was the most thorough in U.S. history and every step was live-streamed on the web in addition to the bipartisan observers on site.
Of course, none of that will have the slightest effect on the remaining dregs of the GOP or our pet stupid trolls. They are living in denial and show no signs of accepting reality.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:04 pmIn addition to Franken having graduated Harvard cum laude he also aced the SATs.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:07 pmTo Proud, do NOT EVER compare Franken v. Coleman and the state of Minnesota’s election process with that of Bush v. Gore. It is a KNOWN fact that FRAUD and voter disenfranchisement were running rampant in Florida.
We didn’t have the highway patrol blocking main roads leading to polls used by poor black voters, pulling cars over left and right on the day of the election. We didn’t have a Tom Feeney who had a computer software engineer find a way to electronically flip the electronic votes for Franken.
We didn’t have a corrupt secretary of state like Kathryn Harris who tried to hamstring the democrats at every move during the re-count process. We didn’t have a democratic governor who just happened to be the presidents brother proceeding over the fraud that happened.In closing, Proud you can go phuck yourself!
July 1st, 2009 at 3:07 pmMedia Matters has an awesome collage of the denial and lying crap from FAUX. The poor Reichwhiners are still trying to maintain that alternate reality where they aren’t frightened little children with stunted intellects.

July 1st, 2009 at 3:08 pmFranken, Inhofe should know, graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1973. He was in his early 20s. Inhofe graduated the same year from the University of Tulsa. He was 38.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:17 pmSo the klown who thinks the world is 6,000 years old and is in total Climate Change denial is calling the Senator a what?
July 1st, 2009 at 3:17 pmI like clowns…..my favorite was the clown in the movie “The Devils Rejects” now THAT guy was funny!

July 1st, 2009 at 3:19 pmInhofe spoke the truth. Something you tree-hugging retards know nothing about. Hah, Minnesota, what a bunch of backwards
dinks.
Good. Let them keep underestimating him. He’ll enjoy kicking their asses.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:22 pmAnd Franken is Inhofe’s Pennywise…heh…

rickybobby? Is that sort of like BillyJoeRayJimBob? Sort of like momma didn’t know who the daddy was so she just used all the names of the possibilities?
July 1st, 2009 at 3:30 pmActually. The biggest dink in Minnesota just got relegated to an obscure infamy.
I don’t count Crazy Shelly as a “dink” because she’s not mentally competent for her actions to the degree that Normy is. And, I hope, that her recently acquired national image as an extremist nut might finally filter down to the misguided souls who have voted for her. Assuming she isn’t dragged away, frothing at the mouth, to a quiet padded cell.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:31 pmInhofe bio:
Born in 1934; 74 years old.
Inhofe received a B.A. degree from the University of Tulsa in 1973, at the age of 38.
In his business career, Inhofe was a real estate developer and became president of the Quaker Life Insurance Company. That company went into receivership while he managed it; it was liquidated in 1986.
He is among the most vocal global warming skeptics in Congress. Inhofe often cites the Bible as the source for his positions on various political issues.
Wonderful – a theocrat who ruined his business.
Remind me: why should we listen to Inhofe, who is clearly an ASSCLOWN?
July 1st, 2009 at 3:31 pmI don’t recall any story about Franken losing his ass in business. However, this clown did:
In his business career, Inhofe was a real estate developer and became president of the Quaker Life Insurance Company. That company went into receivership while he managed it; it was liquidated in 1986.[6]

July 1st, 2009 at 3:40 pmrickybooby is kind of a angry little twit isn’t he? Thats what you get from drinking to much swamp water.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:44 pmNo disrespect but can you put the barrel of your rifle to the heart of the repug party and pull the trigger. Have some sympathy and put your party out of their misery.

Look everyone, do not respond to Ricky Bobby. He is simply an example of the low life that inhabit the extreme right wing. They are worthless and to be disposed of on sight. They will be eliminated as encountered. However, there is nothing to be gained with dealing with these scum on line.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:52 pmAhhh. JMOHR got his ass kicked again. Everyone give him a hug.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:52 pmYou’re right rickybooby. will all be crying at the death of the repug party. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 3:53 pmI think you meant to type “We’ll”.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:56 pmGo back to school.
You can see by the rhetoric of Inhofe that the common respect due to those participating in the political process is simply impossible. This is why the Repuglican party continues to shrink. Soon, we will be able to arrest, try and execute the few remaining members as traitors.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:57 pmNo typed it right. I was trying to get down to your IQ level.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:58 pmRickybobby, I bet you have an empty beer can next to your keyboard to spit out your tobacco juice. You are probably in the back room of your mother and step dads trailer. Your younger sister is out giving BJ`s to buy more meth for you and her. Then after you and sis get high you will have sex. Hence thats where wingnuts are born.

Here’s some substance. It’s pretty obvious that this country is comprised of two different ideologies which are diametrically opposed.

July 1st, 2009 at 5:28 pmSuper Majority. Yeah, I guess so now. But now even the democrats in congress are whispering amongst themselves and wondering what the hell did we put in the white house. Even the democratic senators realize what’s best for the country and will shoot down most of the house and bho’s insanity. So I don’t think the filibuster will ever be needed by republicans anyway.
Look, no name calling.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:29 pmLet’s start with the cap and trade bill. Do you think that’s going anywhere in the senate? No friggen way Jose. It’s dead before it’s even called.

July 1st, 2009 at 5:34 pm—-
Interesting premise rickybobby. Could you point to any evidences to support your theory or is this more like something you just made up?
The Harvard graduate, a math nerd, is simply dismissed as a “clown” by the willfully ignorant Inhofe, a graduate of Tulsa U, a former insurance man. A clown himself?
The repugs are simply all of a junior high mindset – with the name calling, stamping of their feet when they don’t get their way, and taking the ball and going home when they see they are losing.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:35 pmEven the democratic senators realize what’s best for the country and will shoot down most of the house and bho’s insanity. So I don’t think the filibuster will ever be needed by republicans anyway.
Reconciliation process will neuter the Blue Dogs, and they can go sit out on the stoop with the conservative curs, while the country’s business is handled.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:36 pmAnyone who has listened to Al Frankin on Air America…or read his books…Knows he is not only funny, but he’s smart, articulate….and He Does His HOMEWORK.
He defeated an Incumbent Senator by Mastering the Intricacies of Minnesota’s situation…and went all over the State talking to Minnesotans.
It’s clear to me, that the republicans are trying to paint the Democratic Efforts for Change with a caricature of Al Frankin.
They want to Portray Frankin as a posterboy for the “Looney Left”.
They are in for a BIG Surprise!
July 1st, 2009 at 5:42 pmHe’ll always be Jack Handey. The old dogs don’t respect him. Without the support of his fellow senators he’ll be a “don’t matter” and not be re-elected. Sorry, but he got elected as a joke. Kind of apropos dontcha think?
July 1st, 2009 at 5:47 pmSo, rickybobby…you think Frankin got elected as a JOKE.
Half the Voters in Minnesota plus 312 voted as a JOKE.
Sounds pretty insulting to Minnesotans if you ask me.
Frankin will EARN the respect of the Senators, many of whom, in Inhofe own words…” don’t know the guy”.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:59 pmyes, people voted for him as a joke. Just goes to show you, some people should not be entitled to vote.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:03 pmLook what getting kids and illegals to vote put in the WH.
Arn, you’re just plain crazy.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:06 pmburn for eternity Ronald Reagan???
Why? Did he cut your welfare or foodstamps?
July 1st, 2009 at 6:09 pmKids and Illegals are already prevented, by law, from voting.
Just exactly are these “some People” who should,according to you, have their votes taken away.
Trust in rickybobby and to hell with the 14th Amendment…is that your point?
July 1st, 2009 at 6:14 pmsome people should not be entitled to vote.
Yeah, a dictatorship would be a heckuva lot easier, if only republicans were the permanent majority.

July 1st, 2009 at 6:26 pmMaybe Al is being ’served’. Everybody knows Jim (I Can’t Believe He Won Again) Inhofe is the senior laughing stock of the senate! Just innocent freshman hazing.
And speaking of comedy, Inhofe’s years of stellar performances (hillbilly Touret’s?) in Washington reflects so bad on Oklahoma, the state and everyone in it is considered a big joke.

blacks—because he’s black, muthafuka
teens— fuk the usa, and he’s on twitter.
women—-big ears, big ^&%$#
dems —-he ain’t bush, we can’t beat mccain w/hrc
mexicans—he’ll make me legal and give me welfare
nuf said.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:50 pmInteresting way to look at why we voted for Obama.
So what were the reasons you voted for McCain?
July 1st, 2009 at 6:57 pmSimple. He sucked the least. Sadly we didn’t have much choice.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:58 pmWell, we have something in common.
That’s why I voted for John Kerry in 2004.
July 1st, 2009 at 7:05 pmAnd what was inhofe before he became a corporate lackey?
July 1st, 2009 at 7:15 pmAnd What State Leads the Nation in UnTapped Wind Energy Potential??
That would be Oklahoma.The state could earn Millions a year, with a little bit of Capital Investment.
Let me take a wild guess, and predict that Inhofe will vote against Cap and Trade.
July 1st, 2009 at 7:26 pmrickybobby,
July 1st, 2009 at 7:29 pmI think you are a faker. Are you a faker rickybobby…
yeah, right. You got me.
July 1st, 2009 at 7:31 pmwell it isn’t like it isn’t obvious now is it?
July 1st, 2009 at 7:35 pmInhofe apparently does not understand that he himself is a dishonest, stupid, ignorant buffoon, who has no clue about what he is saying.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:04 pmPerhaps Franken is a clown, but Inhofe is an ass.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:44 pmI work in NYC theater, and have known some very talented clowns. And you, sir, are no clown.

You have yourself a great evening, now bud. ;)
July 1st, 2009 at 11:16 pmIf Sen. Inhofe thinks that Sen. Franken is a clown then what does he think of Sen. David Vitter (R-wears diapers while visiting houses of prostitution-Louisiana)?
July 1st, 2009 at 11:54 pmYes, Dasm, Inhofe is clueless of any moral obligations to his constituency. We simply do not exist until election season.
Doc Rock, although Inhofe often does appear to be an ass, he is primarily an ass kisser of the oil, gas and utility lobbys. And the Jesus lobby too, I suppose. Thats good for a lot of votes in OK. And most all, Inhofe’s lips have been locked on Bush’s butt since before the OKC bombing.
Oklahoma has been the cornerstone for oil and gas corporate corruption for a century. Inhofe is just doing what he gets paid to do.
July 1st, 2009 at 11:58 pmNow the Senate has someone to crack jokes as Americans lose jobs and lose their homes to foreclosure.
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:12 ammarwick says, “Now the Senate has someone to crack jokes as Americans lose jobs and lose their homes to foreclosure.”
Do you mean to tell us that George W. Bush was elected to the Senate?
Remember when Bush was cracking jokes about nonexistant WMDs in Iraq during the White House Correspondents Dinner? All the journalists laughed even though 6,000 American troops have died so far for Bush’s lies.
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:03 amWith regards to Mr. Inhofe, you might want to take a look at
“The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule” by Thomas Frank,
pp. 100-6. Here’s just a portion.
Clown? Only if you’re in to dark humor.
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:41 pmAny Intelligent Person: No disrespect, but Inhofe’s a frikkin BiblethumpingCluelessImmoralIdiot.
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:52 pmSenator Franken
I have great respect for anyone who sticks to his guns when the easiest route is to turn tail—like so many of the Democrats have done in the past 8 years. But you, sir, have not! But your tribulations are just beginning. Dirty politics will continue, hitting you with every thing they have; right, left and below the belt. I have placed faith on many politicians, especially, the Democrats. They have betrayed their duties and the promises they made to reverse the criminal acts and actions of the Bush administration. This included President Obama. But you are different. You stood your ground while other Democrats would have found an excuse to quit, to get paid off or hop over to the other side. Your long battle is not over, sir. It’s just beginning. To come to the aid of the common man, the ordinary guy and gal, who work hard for their daily bread, means you’ll be giving rub burns to the corporate/industrial/financial monsters , the pro conservative power structure of this nation. They don’t give up, they don’t play fair and they don’t forget or forgive. Be prepare, Mr. Franken. The most dangerous opponents you will be facing will be your “liberal” cohorts, beginning with the President. They will try to discredit you for your “attempt” to right the wrongs what this Congress have visited upon this nation. In other words, trying to upset their ill-gotten apple carts.
Again, my whole hardiness and congratulation on your senatorial success.
Forever your follower,
