Mr. Franken Goes to Washington
That crazy dream you had about Al Franken winning a Senate race was real.
Fresh off the Supreme Court victory that finally decided the November election in his favor, Senator-elect Al Franken will meet with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Capitol Hill Monday, Reid just announced. Franken will be sworn-in to the United States Senate next week.
The 1:00 Reid-Franken confab will be preceded by a photo-opportunity for Washington photogs, when they'll get the first snaps of Franken as Minnesota's newly elected almost-senator.
The Capitolist will on hand, so we'll report back on the sure-to-be-chaotic scene.

Thank goodness Minnescrotum finally seated someone. Since Franken isn't funny, can't act, and can't write, let's hope he can legislate.

Congratulations, Minnesotans. You've finally one-upped the denizens of your neighbor, the Great State of Iowa, who sent Fred Grandy, aka "Gopher" from "The Love Boat", to Congress in 1986. What a proud, proud moment.

Reid and Franken, now there is a pair to draw to!!
Two sides of a counterfeit coin. I am sure ole 'Harry' Boy and Pelosi will mentor him and show him the finer points of Politics, you know, show him the ropes. Show him how to bend people over and make them like it.

What are you Minnesotans thinking? Have you become so "left coast" that you'll vote for personality before substance. Not sure that Coleman was well liked but for gods sake Al Franken!!!! Who's next Tommy Lee Jones in Texas? I can assure you that won't work in TX...
