Minnesota Recount

So when is Al Franken officially a loser?

I guess the answer would be “Years ago.”

It’s nice to know that even in a year where basically a donkey wearing a jaunty hat could win an election if he ran as a Democrat, there still are limits.

  1. Minnesota thinks they can be like California, and elect celebraties to public office, but they can’t. CA gets the Terminator as Gov, MN gets a guy in a pink boa. CA gets the Great Communicator, MN get Chuckles the clown.

    Makes me want to move back to CA.

  2. Do you remember back in the good old days when the loser would gracefully give a concession speech, congratulate the winner, and retire to the background to plot another run in a few years?

    Unfortunately, until we learn to steal the elections much better, we’re gonna have to deal with guys like this. We need to make the margins of victory in our ballot-stuffing operations something along the order of “Robert Peterson-R – 1,456,337,886,876,559,000 Mike Smith-D – 12”

    We have no one to blame but ourselves and our shoddy Diebold programming.

  3. Speaking of which, how do you get a job working for Diebold? I want to be the guy who writes the code for those things, but somehow the source code will mysteriously disappear and all that will be left is the compiled code to run on the machines. And everyone will assume it must be correct.

    I figure, the democrats already have enough means of cheating at the ballot box, what with ACORN, and dead voters, and illegal voters, etc. Since the Republicans are waaaaay smarter, it’s only fair that we get to cheat with technology.

  4. The average intellect of a minnesotan must be below zero. We though it was the weatherman, but we were wrong. olefrankenstien even being close makes me wish we could sell the blue states to france.

  5. Franken has only been funny one time that I’ve personally witnessed: delivering the following joke on an old (70s?) SNL skit:

    Q: Did you hear about the rabbi who never charged $ for performing circumcisions?

    A: He only took tips.

  6. Teancum would just stab everything with a javelin. “Any problem you can’t solve by stabbing it in the heart with a javelin must mean you should stab it twice” was Teancum’s philosophy.

    He was kind of the forerunner of the Green Beret but he never wore a Rolex that I know of.

  7. NunyaB,

    Sorry to tell you this but he stole that joke. The original goes: “Did you hear about the fellow who circumcised elephants for a living? The pay wasn’t much but the tips were enormous.”

    It’s an old joke, so is Franken. But the joke is older.

  8. Am I mistaken, or does Alf’s mouth seem to have a sharp downward slope from left to right?

    Studies show that one’s mental balance is closely related to one’s facial balance, or symmetry.

    Hmm. . .

  9. I’m I the only one that thinks the lower half of his face in this photo looks like a pinky demon from the original Doom game? Ya know, the ones that have to be killed with a chainsaw.

    [They didn’t have to be killed by chainsaw, but that sure saved on ammo. -Ed.]

  10. The fact that Chuckles couldn’t win outright against a do-nothing Republican senator in a blue state shows what a loser he is. This is Wellstones! old seat. Coleman only won it because Wellstone!’s plane crashed.

  11. NunyaB,

    I think that joke just gave away Al’s condition. His Rabbi couldn’t tell one head from the other (In Al’s case, you can’t blame the Rabbi), and in the confusion, gave Al a lobotomy.

  12. I have one of the few copies of “Al Franken is a Bucktoothed Moron (and other observations)”, which was a conservative slam-back book to Al’s anti-Limbaugh book. It’s pretty good.

    They were handing them out for free outside a taping of Politically Incorrect back when it was in Chicago a couple elections ago.
