		<description>&quot;Franken’s intelligent, despite appearance, Coulter on the other hand is not.
&quot;Heard a friend of Franken’s say Franken was a math jock at Harvard. I wasn’t aware that he went to Harvard.&quot;

Al Franken and Ben Stein used to make appearances together where each would good naturedly try to stump the other. It would take forever before one of them came up with a question the other couldn&#039;t answer, and these questions would have made your average Jeopardy contestent turn pale. 

Al Franken could have been a substitute host for &quot;Win Ben Stein&#039;s Money&quot;. He is a very, VERY bright guy.</description>

Al Franken, of course, was a shoo-in as he owed $70,000 in back income taxes in 17 states. He’ll fit right into the O’Bama crowd.

		<description>Amway,
&quot;It will become increasingly difficult to continue to blame George Bush over the next four years.&quot;

Hey, you guys managed to blame Clinton for eight years, and even passed some on to Carter, and neither one of them began to screw up the country the way Bush did! Some of his crap could keep the democrats in office for decades!</description>

		<description>You all talk about Sotomayer getting it wrong, here&#039;s what I call getting it wrong:
&quot;Ending one of the longest Senate races ever, the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously rejected each of Republican Norm Coleman&#039;s five legal arguments that an earlier recount of the November 4 vote had been unfair. Coleman quickly conceded.</description>

		<description>Senator Franken. Man, that sounds good. I can&#039;t wait for Olbermann and Rachel tonight. Should be a demo feel-good fest.

You cons can go over into the corner and swear and pound your heads.

The good guys won another one.

Yea!!

Dennis

p.s. It is weird tho, the announcement was made this afternoon and even though every reputable news outlet has the story, even the BBC for heaven&#039;s sake, the Eagle hasn&#039;t bothered to post it all these hours later.

Hummm.</description>
