    How cool is it that a guy that wrote the best seller Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot: And Other Observations is now a Senator?

    Pretty cool.

    of course there is alot of applause, there are 60 other democrats in there.

    Well, hopefully he actually sticks to an agenda, and doesn’t just become the “60th” guy.

    Phil – I don’t think that Dick Lugar or Lindsay Graham are Democrats. Look closely at the video again – seems that quite a number of GOPers were in attendance.

    It was great to see Mondale escort Franken down to the well – that was his seat years ago.

    Reminds you of the days that Reagan the really bad actor, started making his mark, doesn’t it?

    I think he had a bit of public service before he went to Washington. Plus he stayed out of the insane clown posse that is congress.
