We are very fond of the Talking Points Memo, and their many auxiliary sites that do reporting-type things for us to parasitize. So it is in the spirit of great love and affection that we must point out to David Kurtz, who wonders why the endless Coleman/Franken recount drama “still seems to be flying below the national political radar,” that nobody cares because it’s boring and complicated and both candidates are lame, the end.

Why Does Nation Not Care About Al Franken?

Also, we’re hoping that if we just ignore Norm Coleman he’ll go away and leave Al Franken to do whatever kind of half-assed job as Senator from Minnehoofia he’s going to do, like that matters.

Not enough Lizard People.
Nobody cares because it’s only BREAKING: MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD IN THE MAKING!!!! when a Democrat is challenging the results of an election he lost. Not vice versa.
“Parasitize”. Finally, there’s a word for what you do. (so well!)
The Tree of Hate only grows from the dirty ACORN
Normy’s crying about a redo now. Haha.
Aside from the brief joy of seeing Norm turn into a sucky baby, there is no entertainment here.
parasitize
parasitizer
parasitization
parasitizification
parasitizilation
parasitilizatificationizer
is it because he isn’t a missing, white co-ed, also
And yet if you can get past the boringness, it’s interesting that Coleman is now saying: oh fuck it all, let’s just do the whole election over. What a kidder!
Does Minnesota even have a basis for completely invalidating an election? It seems to me that Coleman brings this up every time a judge stomps on one more of his half-assed arguments or acts of legal stupidity. Even Coleman knows he’s screwed — he’s just trying to keep another Democrat from taking his seat.
Odd that a Republican (aren’t they the patriotic ones?) would 1) use a lawsuit to 2) obstruct the will of the people to 3) prevent representatives from doing their job effectively. Almost makes you think they don’t practice what they preach. But there must be a better explanation, of course.
I move that Minnesota be stripped of one (1) Senate seat for a period not to exceed two (2) years on the grounds of FAIL.
Snark away all you want, but if Franken gets seated, Obama is only one incriminating photo of Snow, Specter, or Collins away from bringing forth his Muslim Socialist Caliphate.
Even Democrats are scared of the funny and true things Al will say once he’s settled in DC. Because they are almost as lying, corrupt and full of shit as their supposedly so evil Republican counterparts.
For example, have you ever spent ten minutes in Steny Hoyer’s Congy office? It’s literally filled with slimy used car salesmen I mean whores I mean lobbyists.
Steny ain’t gonna like Al making funny jokes about things like this. No, Democrats are just as scared as Republicans of Al’s descent upon the swamp. He’s not afraid of alligators. And humor has a way of become internetally viral. Should be fun.
After all this time without 2 senators and no major mishaps, I think Minnesota can safely conclude it only needs one.
Al should go to Washington dressed in the outfit in that picture and people would pay atten … What? You’re saying David Vitter already did that and nobody cared??
Amy Klobuchar is all the state of Minnesota needs.
You mark my words….she will be in the White House in 8 years (provided that Hopey doesn’t wreck shit).
Don’t know why Wonkette keeps piling on Al Franken, but it appears that the commenters, obviously consumers of Liberal Humor, love him. Maybe you wish you had come up with the cleverly snarky title “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot”.

Y’ever notice how much Norm Coleman looks like The Leader?

I disagree. It should be every decent, reasonable human being’s greatest desire to see Norm Coleman crushed and weeping, drinking deeply of the bitterest brew of humiliation and despair, distilled from the tears of his supporters.
I don’t like him very much.
[re=253807]saggyboobedhag[/re]: Haha! It’s funny ’cause it true!
why is there a photo of david vitter with this story?
[re=253816]hockeymom[/re]: I had a good chat with the Senator at a private pre-/post- event get-together in the middle of nowhere; and I must say (in the local parlance) “she’s a sharp cookie” and might be a good choice for VP if His Serene Hopeyness O’Bama decides to ‘retire’ O’Biden in 0-12…
