I thought he said the COMEDY of the Senate which it pretty much is right now.
You knew that he said comity as well as any of the rest of us. Yes, the US Senate is a very proud deliberative body but much more of this kind of activity will destroy that.
Where did he tell McCain to get lost, and how does Franken get to be chair? Didnt he just get elected?
He has been in the Senate less time than any other member and the rules of the Senate call for the most junior member to serve as the presiding officer partly to keep him from interfering with debate. Franken proved that that is no longer the case.
Don't you think democrats have had enough of Lieberman's obstructionism.
What mistake are you talking about, people had 10 minutes, Lieberman wanted more time, and wasn't granted more time. Why should he be given more time than any other senator?
Did Lieberman not ask for more time? Did he not gather up his papers after that childish Senator told him to get out? I think you people with the traitor talk about Lieberman are at least as bad as Franken. Lets see now. Didn't Lieberman run as an Independent and then ask to caucus with the children? He was elected, not as a Democrat but an Independent. He is being true to the people who elected him not what was once his party.
the Democratic party is a "big tent" and has a mix of conservative, moderate and liberal members. the Republicans are ALL conservative excepf for the 2 maine senators. It's much easier for the repugs to vote the same way when they all think the same way and represent similar constituencies.
Is what you just suggested what made every Dem Senator vote for the Amnesty bill of McCain and Kennedy? I guess they all agreed about amnesty in 2006 and haven't changed their membership so much since that day. Dirty Harry said we must vote that way and all the other 43 jumped at the chance.

Lieberman should not be given time, he should be doing time, He's a lying, corrupted piece of dung that is on the take and lining his pockets at the expense of the American people. Go straight to hell Mr. Lieberman you are a very little, mean spirited, greedy person and deserve to be waterboarded.
I disagree, I think what McCain said was very important, if the Senate gets away from the comity that has been its hall mark to the pettyness exhibited by Franken, the place will devolve into the political equivalent of WWE.
Franken was rude.
If McCain was right about the general way an extra moment has been allowed, then we just saw Franken get rebuked as if his name was Dathan.

Oh yeah big tent until they actually think for themselves like Old Joe, then the big tent party wants to expel him form their caucus. Some big tent ya got there. LOL
I am really starting to like Al Franken. Harry Reid might be scared to stand up to Lieberman but Al sure as hell ain't! He punked Lieberman and told McCain to get lost too!

Not exactly. But he is being true to his contributers, the insuance lobby.
Hey, most people on the take would do the same thing if $500,000.00 were given to them.
oh the time thing? there was a strict 10 minute limit.
I guess you're defending the "traitor"?
and here we all thought you were a right winger. but oh, wait a minute, lieberman is a righty in disguise, isn't he? or is he? oh allright I get it now, joe's not left, he's not right, he's not center either, so what's joe? joe is for joe and the people who give him $$$$$.
Evidently some people have no problem defending a person who has taken $ 1/2 million to do their dirty-work.
