Was it for Monica?

Seems every reporter has a bug up his or her ass ever since the President called on a blogger at that news conference. They just can't get over themselves.

I would put my money on Franken any day when it comes to who is wiser, him or this pip squeak.

If Franken was an old movie star who made movies with a chimp, I'm betting they would love him. Or if he had once been part of Cher's music duet they wouldn't have any problem with that either.

They were talking about the Franken win on PBS news the other day, and the guy being interviewed said something similar, but he added that besides being a comedian, Franken is known for being an attack dog for the liberals, and that he never went on the attack while waiting for this outcome. The unstated premise was, Franken made himself look senatorial during this period of gestation.

(Afterall it took nearly 9 months).

... something Mike Allen has never even tried.

Gods, what a putz.

I was in the VA hospital yesterday, and had a late lunch in the canteen. Once I saw they were no longer playing FAUX but CNN I sat close to the TV whilst masticating.

I think it was the Rick Sanchez show, and all they were talking about was the Michael Jackson story, with very brief governor sanford mentions, commercials, and more about Michael Jackson. Meanwhile they had a crawler on the bottom of the screen from people's twitters asking them to stop with all the Michael Jackson crap.

don't stand for it. create your own frame. you know, an accurate one.

Synonyms: wit humor repartee sarcasm irony These nouns are compared as they denote forms of expression that elicit amusement or laughter. Wit implies intellectual keenness and the ability to perceive and express in a diverting, often pointed way analogies between essentially dissimilar things; humor, on the other hand, suggests the faculty of recognizing what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd and using it as the basis for expression:

“ Humor is, as it were, the growth of nature and accident; wit is the product of art and fancy ” (William Hazlitt). Repartee implies a facility for answering swiftly and cleverly: “ framing comments . . . that would be sure to sting and yet leave no opening for repartee ” (H.G. Wells). Sarcasm is a form of caustic wit intended to wound or ridicule another: “ Sarcasm I now see to be, in general, the language of the Devil; for which reason I have, long since, as good as renounced it ” (Thomas Carlyle).

Irony is a form of expression in which an intended meaning is the opposite of the literal meaning of the words used: “ A drayman in a passion [a rage] calls out, ‘ You are a pretty fellow, ’ without suspecting that he is uttering irony ” (Macaulay).

They just don't like us since we elected the first black president and the first comedian. All they can come up with are future tabloid stars.

Our comedians have more substance than their CEOs. I'll take Al over Mitt Romney annnnnyday.

I found nothing particularly disparaging or disrespectful of Al Franken about the comments by Todd and Allen. The negative framing served as a backdrop to the fact that they found Al Franken's demeanor in this situation to be senatorial.

Yeah you, shit for brains. He did keep his mouth shut. That's the fricken point. He stayed out of the limelight, He didn't attack Coleman. Unlike the wrong wings tactics.
Creating your own news again I see. asshat.

I will say this for Mike, he realized he stepped in it pretty fast and did a very nice back paddle.

I have to give him 7s. Just for the effort

You have to be a pretty smart person to first go to Harvard, not the end all be all, but it is quite an accomplishment and then have a successful career writing on the, at the time, most cutting edge comedy show.

He scares them.

Another pasty faced, stupid looking bald headed GOP asshat. Franken will so destroy you dipshits.

The republicans had their chance with Ms Palin and they also could maybe have had Joe the Plumber. Sadly, I heard that Joe did an interview recently and when asked if he might run for some office, Joe told them he asked god if god wanted him to run and god said no.

It's pretty bad when your own god doesn't have confidence in you.

what a crew. Who can even listen to their ridiculous commentary?

What do they know? Nothing!! I, or many of those who comment on C&L, could do better analysis of ANYTHING than Chuckie or Mikie. This is the kind of crap that gets on the air when you have to fill up the 24/7 TV news cycle.....unadulterated dribble.

Plus, I saw about 5 minuets of Scarborough this a.m. - he just makes me want to puke. How did he ever get that job? How did he ever get elected to Congress?? No wonder the American electorate is so stupid.....having to listen to fools.

Thats because Reslug morons like him only spew shit from their ignorant mouths constantly.

Just once I'd like to see one of these so called journalists in the MSM catch a GOP mouthpiece making a joke and say to him/her oh you're a comedian too - I guess we can't take anything you say seriously - thanks. Then cut them off and segue to something else.

(ain't going to happen I know - well maybe Rachel would :))
