I don't think anyone is denigrating the action but it is clearly a light weight move. With so many issues to address Franken chose this monumental issue as the first bill to bring forward. I could just see it on the campaign stump. As my first act I will make sure that each and every disabled veteran has a dog. Candidate Franken is this an big problem? I don't know but it is my first priority!
"A dog"???
There is a huge difference between 'a dog' and a service dog. HUGE....

I think it's great that franken has a job. it's proof that the government still employs disabled people. he's just too easy to make fun of. he's like the palin of the left.
it's not really. stuart smalley is just funny. after all, he's a comedian.
If Ronald Reagan could reinvent himself as a President, Al Franken can surely reinvent himself as a Senator. Just as no one thinks of Bedtime for Bonzo when Reagan's name is mentioned (well, gotta admit, I do), Stuart Smalley will also fade into the past for Franken.
I still hate Franken, but I don't find this bill to be a bad idea. When you consider the depression and suicide rates with our fine soldiers who have served this country, it is simply heartbreaking to think that soldiers would sign up to risk their life for the defense of their country, only to come back to the country they fought for and die after a depressed, miserable existence.
Service animals have been clinically shown to be an emotional and psychological boost to their owners, and enhance their quality of life. Anybody here that does not believe the psychological health of the soldiers who defend our freedom is worth a $25,000 service animal IF THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE ONE, I just do not understand.
That being said, this has not changed my opinion of Franken overall, but I refuse to let my distaste for a politician make me criticize a good idea.

not in the internet age. I am not a huge reagan fan either. I just find franken quite annoying, and I am sick of celebrities getting into politics. it's sad, and pathetic.

The only thing worse than giving a dog to a veteran, is giving a veteran to a dog. This is an act of treason that should be punished by multiple electric floggings administered, by an elephant man.
I am saying, my good sir, that if God wanted man to have a dog, he would have given us fire hydrants as heads! My sadness at this communist atrocity can only be expressed, by a colon followed by a bracket, made to look like a sideways sad smiley face! :[ and then followed by even another one :[ and even another! :[ to express my threefold vortex of sadness.

What do you know. An honorable man on CD. I salute you sir.

If you REALLY want to pick up the morale and prevent all those suicides in the military, impeach the Affirmative Action President.
