Nah, I'd cash it...then frame a copy. - freakjim, on 07/10/2009, -2/+27“It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.”
-Jack Handy - diggkeba, on 07/10/2009, -1/+23except that Coleman did it for the Republican Party for the most part, to delay the 60 seats for the Dems.
- mu0p, on 07/10/2009, -6/+25i wonder how hard they were gritting their teeth when signing the check.
- yillip, on 07/10/2009, -3/+20This is what happens, Larry...
- an0nymous, on 07/09/2009, -10/+27You're doing a disservice to Franken with this comparison. He'll be a far better Senator than many of the others currently serving.
- AgeofMastery, on 07/10/2009, -8/+24Stuart Smalley? I see you're so far gone you can't tell the difference between a fictional charecter and the actor who played him
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 07/10/2009, -0/+14So by your logic every sitting senator, democrat and republican, is as useful as a trained dog. I'm glad we cleared that up.

- lex0nyc, on 07/10/2009, -2/+13Not hard. GOP lawyers have no souls.
- Misinformant, on 07/10/2009, -4/+14Voting yes or no is easy.
It's deciding the right one that, ironically, the "right" seems to suck so horrendously at. - AndrewDB, on 07/09/2009, -12/+21I think he should reject it and demand that Coleman pay for it out of his own pocket for as long as Coleman delayed his getting the seat.

- twiztidsinz, on 07/10/2009, -3/+11Alan's grasp on reality is very lacking...
- Subduction, on 07/10/2009, -12/+20Why, you couldn't be intentionally missing the point could you?
That wasn't a "recount," that was a series of intentional delaying tactics with the intent of preventing the Democrats from having a super-majority for as many days as possible.
But you know that, and you're just lying like all Republicans are these days, because it's the only thing your shattered party has left. - inactive, on 07/10/2009, -2/+8alan you're a *****.
- fury420, on 07/10/2009, -1/+6genitalben, got any proof of even one single fraudulent vote being cast in associated with ACORN in this past election?
oh... you mean your just talking out your ass, and there is no evidence of any voter fraud actually taking place? oh, I see.... - ugacrew, on 07/10/2009, -6/+10Funny. That's the same amount that Ensign's mommy and daddy paid to his mistress' family. Who knew that the Republicans were a party that gives.
- madrona, on 07/10/2009, -4/+7Glad they paid it. Rule of law, baby!

- Atario, on 07/10/2009, -0/+2I heard the guy had a bit of food on his molar before he started. Afterward, they found a very tiny diamond in its place.

- MRKiscaden, on 07/10/2009, -16/+18If it was Coleman who won by 316 votes, Franken would certainly have filed a lawsuit. It would be foolish to do otherwise. When there are more rejected absentee ballots than the margin of victory, any candidate would file a lawsuit to have them counted. To blame the recount on the GOP is partisan politics at its worst.
- Misinformant, on 07/10/2009, -2/+3Oh right, I almost forgot that war in Iraq cost nothing because of that 2-for-1 sale at Lockheed Martin.
Nah. It's only the right that CREATED the recession.
But needless killing is a much better investment than healthcare and infrastructure anyway. Good point. I guess I'm a Republican now.
Yeehaw, murder! - Misinformant, on 07/10/2009, -1/+2Yeah, woops. Typos a-plenty there. 8 days should be 6 months and I forgot to specify those lawsuits should be aimed at Coleman.
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1Wait until they have a poor fund raising month and then cash it. Exaserbate the situation for them.
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -1/+2@genitalben,
the CBO report on the public option says it will SAVE $150 billion over the next decade compared to our current system.
Try a different unsubstantiated crap argument.

- SirCharge, on 07/11/2009, -1/+2In the box on the bottom left where you right what the check is for, I'll be they just wrote, "***** you"
- fury420, on 07/11/2009, -1/+2Boilerup8986 yup, I see plenty of questionable voter registrations, and definitely some unsavory/illegal tactics & some by some local ACORN workers... But what I'm not seeing is any evidence or even claims that a single solitary fraudulent vote was actually cast as a result of a fraudulent voter registration, nevermind enough fraudulent votes to claim that ACORN's actions somehow made the results of the US election illegitimate.
But hey... lets just give you the benefit of the doubt for a second here.... If this indeed was the case, and the elections were decided not by legit registered US voters but by some sort of massive army of fraudulent, repeat or fake votes/voters wouldn't there be piles and piles of evidence from this Minnesota recount?
I mean... they recounted every ballot by hand, and lawyers from both sides hand-picked through every single one looking for the smallest scrap of justification to spin the vote in their favor, be it not enough of a mark in the box, or marking of two rival candidates, or hell... writing down "Lizard People" as your write-in candidate... I mean, there was even a LIVE streaming webcast of the proceedings. If there was a massive ACORN-led voting fraud campaign on election day the coleman camp would have been ALL OVER IT, would have had tens of thousands of illegitimate ballots in their hands for evidence, etc... - rednip, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1That's right! I want my $96,000!
- jgzman, on 07/10/2009, -1/+1I would agree with this statement.
- UselessTrivia, on 07/10/2009, -4/+4It's been 8 months since the election, not since the inauguration. So technically he should only get an extra 6 months or so.
Personally I feel like the GOP needs to pay him a settlement on unearned campaign contributions. All of congress engages in fundraising all year round. They bring in the big bucks around election time, but Franken should be compensated not just for legal fees, but also for campaign contributions he wasn't earning during the court drama. The GOP owes his campaign a good 2-3 million, not just 90,000.
Nothing will come of it, though, because Franken is going to try to keep things classy and not file a bunch of "I'll sue you for suing me" *****. - inactive, on 07/11/2009, -2/+2Hey Minnesota GOP rednecks. Keep your money from going to SENATOR Franken. Stop giving to the Minnesota GOP. Tinklinberg is just gonna whoop that crazy lady Bachmann anyway. She is out of her skull... nuttier than squirrel droppings!
- novenator, on 07/10/2009, -12/+12Whose laughing now bitch?!
- inactive, on 07/10/2009, -3/+3He tried to 'Al Gore' Franken and he lost. So he paid up and now everyone is moving on. Nothing more to see here kids, move along.
- Misinformant, on 07/10/2009, -17/+17So does Al get to stay an extra 8 days beyond the next inauguration?
Of course not. The people of Minnesota should file a class-action suit for denying them their equal representation in the Senate. Franken should sue him just for being an sore-losing, insufferable prick. - Boilerup8986, on 07/11/2009, -3/+2Here's a site about all of ACORN's wrongdoing:
http://www.rottenacorn.com/activityMap.html - L0t3k, on 07/10/2009, -4/+3Al Franken is such a douchebag.
- madtechnologist, on 07/13/2009, -2/+1LOL....Franken! I'd never admit if I were from Minnesota...too FN funny!
- Misinformant, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1Now you're just blatantly *****. Of the 3 names you list, only one is right. Bill and Al not only said nothing of the invasion but were not even in public office when it happened and still aren't. Hillary, who condoned the invasion based on Bush's false, doctored, ***** intelligence in which the CIA lied about Saddam developing nukes to give Warlord George an excuse to charge in.
Bush murdered every soldier that's died over there and he should hang for treason.
As to the second, I didn't watch it because you've already showed yourself to be a liar and a fraud. That and it couldn't be more obvious to a SANE person that conservative economic principles are the root cause of this economic ***** we're now in.
Here it is in simplified terms:
Republicans are the greediest, most selfish ***** on the planet.
Greed created the financial crisis.
Therefore:
See where I'm going with this? Or must I still spell it out? - ayeroxor, on 07/10/2009, -8/+7Yours?
- Charlotte_Web, on 07/10/2009, -2/+1"Oh right, I almost forgot that war in Iraq cost nothing because of that 2-for-1 sale at Lockheed Martin."
It was a bipartisan vote in Congress that started the war in Iraq. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore were all convinced that Iraq had restarted their WMD programs. Democrats didn't turn on the war after we were already entrenched over there, and it was too late to simply pull out.
"Nah. It's only the right that CREATED the recession."
Here, watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs - Charlotte_Web, on 07/10/2009, -4/+1Funny, it's not the "right" that is currently piling up trillions of dollars of debt during a recession.
It's not the "right" that is trying to pass the biggest tax bill ever. - MRKiscaden, on 07/10/2009, -14/+8Coleman and Franken each spent millions on the campaign, and any person with such a heavy investment has the right to ensure the election processes is as accurate as possible, and raise any concerns he has that it wasn't.
The recount itself was automatic, and was completed in December. The Coleman lawsuit over the uncounted ballots took a long time, but that is the nature of the U.S. judicial system. Lawyers are paid by the hour after all. I encourage you to listen to the opening arguments from both sides in that court battle and try your best to take an objective viewpoint. At the very least, the lawsuit set a good precident allowing for individual precincts to determine their own absentee ballot rejection procedures.
I am neither a Republican, nor a Democrat. I'm an independent. I find both parties to be mostly corrupt and their constant pandering to their base and riling up partisan zealotry is hurting the country. - inactive, on 07/10/2009, -11/+4Plus Franken is a sleazeball who will get more than $96,000 out of Norm, and the rest of America, when he pushes for all those expensive new programs like Universal Health Care.
Of course this election was about as legit as the one in Iran last month, ACORN decided this one. - alanocu, on 07/09/2009, -43/+9We can act like Stuart Smalley is beneath the Senate, but their main job is to vote yes or no on things. You could train a dog to do it.
