This gave me a little chuckle.

Seems they don't really want to put him in any position that means anything until they see how he does in the next election.

Mal: You think she'll hold together?
Zoë: She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true.
Mal: Could be bumpy.
Zoë: Always is

Heh, well one could consider it a belated trade for Strom Thurmond...

I gotta say, Spec really DOES look like Dr Evil tho.

THAT is funny. Seems no one quite trusts a turncoat. And with good reason.

He's already causing a bit of a stir by stating he supports Coleman over Doofus-boy (Al Franken)

I'm actually looking forward to seeing & hearing Al Franken on the Senate floor. I think it will be a constant treat of fun and insanity. Franken always makes me laugh when he's trying to be funny, and he also makes me laugh when he gets all hot and bothered over issues. A guaranteed hootfest for sure!

I know, right?

I'm kinda hoping he'll show up to Senate votes in his Stewart Smalley persona. "I'm smart enough, I'm good-looking enough, and darn it... I deserve it."

If not, just watching his head explode could provide some laughs...

He served his purpose in coming home,after being a double agent for all those years, but that's the extent of the credit they'll give. Nixon and company had it all wrong. Why risk your political career w/ wire tapping the enemy when you can just sit w/ them in their meetings, pretending to be one of their own, as you plot their demise.

Sorry Arlen, no hero's welcome home for you. Now sit down and rehearse your propaganda material.

'Course, thanks to your pal Bush, that's not even a risk anymore, is it? I mean, seeing as you can wiretap anyone now for any reason whatsoever, it doesn't seem like it's that bit a risk to take...

I think Clinton did that, too, Kwicko. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard he did with Echelon.

WTF? You're not supposed to agree with my post. You're supposed to defend Franken as a rightous intelligent Democrat. You're supposed to substitute Franken's name in my post and inject a Republican's name to demean and marginalize my words.

Am I the only one who finds Franken, well... not funny ?

Seriously, I didn't think he was any more amusing than Jerry Lewis, who I NEVER thought was the slightest bit funny, no matter the opinion of the French.

And yes, Clinton is guilty as hell, that was CALEA, back in 1994, right along with NAFTA-CAFTA-SHAFTA, the sumbitch, and Mena, and a whole host of other dirty business.

It's the Clintonista Globalists in this administration that concern me, more so than Bama hisself.

But then, we been pulling THAT shit since mid 1986, but y'all ain't supposed to KNOW that, and all, not like I care any more.
