According to Rachel Maddow last evening, Senator McCain’s crocodile tears at the actions of Freshman Senator Franken deny the fact that he,McCain, did exactly the same thing to another Senator in the past.

Democrat displays backbone, film at eleven.

A noted anthropologist is cited as saying that this rare find may very well be an aberration rather than a new branching leading to a better class of politician.

I object too, Senator Franken. Thank-you. Lieberman is such a deceitful sleaze.  Bet he doesn’t babble on and on this when it comes to the $114 Billion dollars that the U.S. hands over to Israel each year – a country, of course, that provides universal healthcare to its citizens.  And for all Lieberman knows, Israel could be
using the money that U.S. provides to pay for Israel’s healthcare system.  It’s not like Israel is asked to provide an accounting of the money or the way the $114 Billion dollars (U.S. taxpayers money) is being spent.

Franken is the man.  He had to goe through the wringer of the Republican election vote rigging machine, exposing it and winning the election.  Kudos to the Minnesotians.

He shut down Lieberman and made McCain whine, both of whom should have left the senate years ago.

”“And I think it harms the comity of the Senate not to allow one of our
members at least a minute.”“

Perhaps it does hurt the comity of
the Senate but it sure as hell helps the comedy for the rest of us.
