I wish he would go up and bust Lieberman upside the head and tell him "your time is up ahole"

I am not sure who is worse, the no class Franken or all the left wingers here who love people with no class. Our whole government is becoming a joke with the Democrats acting like children, including hussein obama.

I'm glad someone had the brass to stand up to them. I wished more were like him. (Franken)
They should take the house vers. of the bill w/public option in it and ram it thru. Either that, or kill the bill in it's present form.

To the people who have a problem with this: Were you as upset yesterday when Republicans basically shut down the Senate after Bernie Sanders introduced his amendment?

I thought he said the COMEDY of the Senate which it pretty much is right now.

Great job Al Franken! Sickening watching Joe Anemic Man standing there, a man driven solely by support for Israel.

Yes I am sure you did think that. The comedy will end in 2010 when the Dems lose their filibuster proof majority.

Not really. Both moves had the same intention: Shutting down the debate.
