Dubious comic talent Al Franken was beating Norm Coleman in the Minnesota recount, two hours ago, but now Coleman is ahead by 174 votes! This will go on, back and forth, until the remaining 82% of the vote is recounted. The loser gets a show on Air America. [Star Tribune]
Where did you get that photo of Britney Spears, and is she pregnant again? Poor girl.
I am so glad I didn’t see this pic the same day you posted that “BUTT-GUT with Ooompa-Loompas” pic. That just would have been too much.
But I am surprised that Coleman didn’t run this image in an ad! maybe we was afraid that this image wouldprove that Franken is truly a republican.
My eyesss!!!! My eyes!!!!
Oh, shorts isn’t as crazy as he appears, ken
Jesus, why don’t they just ultimate fight for it? Winner takes the seat; loser gets a new nose & a little time off to regain his dignity after that scene where they always end up in that weird sexual looking position (Norm on his back, Al grimacing on top).
When did Franken become the spokesmodel for the McCain’s Menswear fashion line?
The Sally Jesse glasses are infiltrating our government all over! IT’S A COUP!!!!!!
Why not just flip a coin and call it a day? Or maybe ask the US Supreme Court to pick the winner? Get this thing over with already.
The best part is that both candidates are frivolously challenging ballots, and we’ll have to wait until December for those ballots to be reviewed. Good grief.
franken is a rocker AND a frooger.
“dubious comic talent”?
Ken, I thought you were old like me, and would remember Tom Davis and “pubic.”
Al Franken will be one of the smartest motherfuckers in the En-tire Congress. As the man said, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.”
Bish, plz!
nice calves tho
Hmmm… how would Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton handle this situation? That was back when men were men and we hadn’t stupidly allowed places like Alaska to become a state.
I respectfully request a “furries” tag….
hamletta: Not to mention the halcyon days of the Al Franken Decade….
Bugs Bunny in a diaper is hugging a rigor mortis polar-bear-sally-struthers doll
Wow, that photo kinda puts democracy in perspective.
How could Al possibly lose? He’s good enough, he’s smart enough, and doggone it, people like him.
Please don’t post that picture again. The end.
Sorry, fembots. He with the firmest thighs should win. That is what we call democracy. Really.
It’s a panda. Goddamn it’s a panda. A panda!
Nothing says goodnight like a HORRIFYING BLINGEE:

Wow, the photo is a fake. I’m legitimately shocked.

Al Franken’s danger is not something to be viewed before bedtime.
Doing a polar bear from behind is not Minnesota nice. Even in the Iron Range, gentlemen maintain eye contact.
Somehow the Franken babyfur story had slipped through the cracks for me, I’d never heard of it, but reading the fact that it was created as an official release by the GOP isn’t even shocking at this point. More: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/26/franken-ohio-photo/
Hearing about the GOP doing weird, fucked up stuff has lost its shock value. It’s like the first time you see a site like Goatse or 2girls1cup (just, just don’t ask if you don’t know) you’re grossed out and want to puke, but after a while it becomes just a comedic gag, then it becomes so passé that you don’t even shrug when you see it. That’s how I treat the news that the GOP found a picture of a babyfur (again, don’t ask, we’re getting back into fucked-up grossout fetish territory) and photoshopped in a political rival’s head.
Keram2: Faked indeed. The body is in actuality Madeline Albright.
I never thought Al Franken was funny. Except for his book Why Not Me? which was actually hilarious. Except the ending sucked.
Still, I think he’d be a good senator. This race is driving me crazy. I hope he knocks Coleman the hell out of there.
As Franken himself put it: “I’m the only New York Jew in this race who was actually born in Minnesota.”
DoctorCulturae: Madeline Albright dresses up like David Vitter for kicks? Gross!
DoctorCulturae: hahahah! Please continue.
Franken, Minnesota is the state of Jesse Fentura!! They elected him, for frikkin out fuckin out loud, they prolly did elect you!!! And with those big-boy underpants, my little man, you can sit it out during those all night fillibusters, you won’t be missing a vote when all those other GUYS have to go urinate — or try — frequently.
Larry McAwful: And Madeline Albright is actually Dennis Kucinich with a Madeline Albright bodymask. Kucinich is, as we all know, the Kinkmaster of the Universe.
Ted Perino: It’s a fluffy, fluffy cute polar bear cub
which tried to vote for Ted Stevens, the little prick.
Rush also has a relationship with the animal kingdom, namely his lizard pets. But it has to be established that it is consensual.
Larry McAwful:
I thought Lies and Lying Liars who Tell Them was pretty funny at the time. Then his next book came out, and it wasn’t funny at all.
Anonymous Office Zombie: Oh, yeah. I enjoyed Lying Liars, too. There were unfunny parts of it, I remember, and I remember feeling it dragged for a while, and then picked up. I can’t remember why, though.
I didn’t read the book he wrote after that one. If it wasn’t funny, then that’s probably for the best.
This is the tamest picture ever of a Senate candidate
god his thighs are fatter than sarah palin’s. why cant he wear a sarong or something. TRASHY.
It’s better than that photo of Ted Stevens giving his ostomy bag a big old squeeze as Gingrich pulls his finger, but not by much.
Even if it’s only for my own satisfaction, I can say that I beat Wonkette in posting Dem hopeful and illustrious comedian Al Franken at his finest:

Sgt. Joe Friday: It’s such a waste.
Bill Gannon: What’s that, Joe?
Sgt. Joe Friday: If only wingnuts could stick with faking photos and not get mixed up with faking facts.
Dun Dun-Dun Dunt.
hamletta: I agree completely. People love to make fun of Al, apparently, but really, he knows more about anything than Norm Coleman.
Did Coleman withdraw his objections to the recount now that he’s up by a few votes?
S. Luggo: Ask O’Really - it’s a Panda, isn’t it…? But we need a PROFESSIONAL comic in Congress… they hardly even get this training for one semester at Harvard….
Hey it’s Franken
Coming over to play
Growing a little
Everyday
Here he comes with all his friends
They’ve got stories
Got time to spend with you
Hey it’s Franken
Coming to your house
Hey it’s Franken
Coming to my house
Hey it’s Franken!
I sure hope Franken wins! I would hate to have to endure his radio show again.
Thom Hartmann, in Franken’s old time slot, does the best talk show on radio.
That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.
Actually, this photo reminds me of the Lolhan that I read about on Salon:

kapish: Unfortunately, Harmann hits me like a community college course. Once you’ve listened for a few weeks, it starts to sound like a repeat. The same calm professorial points being made. Franken however … first of all there are 3 phases of Franken.
1) ok I’ll give it a try
2) hey, this guy isn’t funny
3) oh, right, this stuff isn’t funny
also sometimes he’s funny.
Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot was pretty damn funny as well.
p-Sludge ofTheElves: Using a slide whistle on the radio to describe the trendline of Bush’s popularity rating is all kinds of funny.
Thank you for this depressing reminder about our new Senator-elect
Dear Wonkette:
Using that photo is fun. Not mentioning that it is a party-doctored fake is not. How about a clarification?
love and bunnies…
