Wonkette
What kind of a so-called “comedian” is this soon-to-be Senator Al Franken, that he shows up in Washington D.C. without a fright wig and refuses to fake-hump Harry Reid during his first press conference in town? He was resolutely quiet and unfunny during the whole recount, which started, hmm, back in the Carter era, and now he is still not funny and WTF??? Why, it is almost as if he is a smart person who decided to run for public office and, having worked quite hard for several years to get elected to that office, is determined to act like an adult! BOOO. [The Caucus]
Will Al ever reclaim his sense of humor?
Depends.
No man can be elected to the Senate of the United States of America and remain the clown he formerly was.
I think it might be a welcome departure from the usual path of alleged serious man devolving to clown like Vitter the Shitter, Inhofe, Brownback, Chambliss, Craig, Sanford, Blago, etc, etc.
I think he scares the crap out of Harry Reid. Which gives him bonus points in my book.
TGY: I can think of several House Republicans who made it to the Senate, and I don’t think Sens. Inhofe and DeMint have toned things down since their ascensions.
Brendan M.: No, no, they became completely different clowns upon assuming high office. *cough*
Not funny? I demand a recount!
I was pretty sure they were voting for one of them FUNNY Jews. Not one of them there serious, talky-whiney ones. Wasn’t Seinfeld available?
So it was Tom Davis all along who was responsible for the rampant success of One More Saturday Night! Why was this fact not in one of Norm Coleman’s 294837 superfluous legal briefs?
Don’t forget to watch the unfunny Al get sworn in at 12:15 ET on C-SPAN.
There is a burning question that still has not been answered in the disputed Minnesota Senate election. An AP photo was used for the photoshopped in face of Al in the infamous fake Franken photo above, but where did the other part come from? Who is the REAL diaper bunny?
Shoulda been you, Trig.
Oh bwahahaha!, Minnesota Public Socialist Radio is going to have live coverage of Al Franken’s swearing-in. I can send the link to mAnn Coulter. That’s Senator Al Franken, Ann. Senator.
Come here a minute:
Do you really need to ask?
It’s the Senate’s main diaper enthusiast, VITTER.
Wait until he gets a Senate committee assignment, he’ll say the funniez then.
12 years from now when he is chairman of one, whoa nelly!
Oh please, PLEASE let Al show up for the swearing-in wearing a Frankenberry costume!

Thank you Sara for reprinting the Repug Photoshop job on Al. Since the Republican all seem to be in chaos at the moment, it is nice to see you pick up the slack and spread the same old shit around for them. Well done.
Come here a minute: I think the real diaper dandy may be that weird-looking guy who had a few parts in Mr Show and now turns up on Comedy Central. Is that vague enough for you? I remember him actually wearing a diaper in a spoof grocery store TV advertisement on Mr Show. Maybe his first name is Brian. YOU’RE WELCOME.
WIDTAP: Poor Sara. So many imbeciles to deal with on a regular basis. Look, the “NO MORE PHOTOSHOPPED DIAPERS FOR YOU” right above the headline should be ample warning that the photo is fake.
Besides, just what are you trying to saying about adult diaper wearers? Hatemonger!
He’s not black enough either. Or Muslim. When are the Democrats going to stop disappointing America and live up to the stupid and vile characterizations the Republicans make up for them?!
And we all know Al is old-school. If that were him, he’d be leaning on a sack of Pampers. Duh.
But seriously, Al. If you could fake-hump Harry Reid, that would be great. Just once, for us.
The real question is, how long before Frankenbear finds his soul mate?
Dude graduated from Harvard with a magna cum laude in Political Science. Clowning was just a day job.
hobospacejunkie: Brian Posehn.
No matter how many times I see that picture, it is VERY disturbing…
Except that Brian Posehn was sitting in a produce store sans teddy bear in the Fairsley sketch (located here at 3:30); I was thinking of another Mr. Show sketch “Swears for Cares” where David Cross is naked in a pile of stuffed animals and again in a tub full of quarters.
P.S. Our stores are not constantly on fire.
rambone: Oh I like my adult diapers just as much as the next incontinent fellow. I just don’t share you special enthusiasm for this particular crotch-first pose.
Whatever happened to the request back in November for some “modesty Blingee”?
Come here a minute: I’m still waiting for AP to sue over the use of it.
WIDTAP: Have you considered starting a Daily Kos blog to raise these very important issues regarding Wonkette’s troubling tendency to occasionally mock Democrats?
Sara K. Smith: I was thinking more along the lines of a blog at Pampers-Pictures-Daily.org to raise hell about undergarments I find most offensive.
But trust me, when now-Senator Franken shows ups to the Sotomayor hearings in just his Depends, I will be first in line to insist that you print the photo, albeit with an appropriately placed red dot, of course.
It’s not the mocking of a Democrat I object to - it’s your obvious favoritism to Norm Coleman. With Norm you take the time to blingee-up a high school photo. But our beloved Al, does he get a blingee? Does he even get a red dot? No! Just the same rehashed Republican photoshop you’ve been storing between pictures of the butt-gut-guy-on-a-stretcher and wheelbarrow-guy.
That and I really, really hate that picture.
It such a shame that Al Franken could not get sworn in on time, since he could have had W. over for a hell of a coke party before W. left for Texas.
