Democrats Want Stuart Smalley for Senator
We noted yesterday the irony that Democrats are critical of Sarah Palin as a nominee for Vice-President but are ecstaticly supporting foul mouthed, angry, loony former Saturday Night Live cast member and failed talkradio host Al Fraken.
Here's a fun Al Franken reel. If you don't believe this guy is an idiot before you're done, then you're an idiot yourself.

I'm all in! I want this Al to run in CA so I can vote for him! Beats the hell out of the Reps saying the same things behind closed doors or singing bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb iran....
Let's be honest about this.
Franken's political party is the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. It's HQ is in St. Paul. But that's a bit of a technical point that I wouldn't expect Higby or Palin to understand.
All Democrats aren't happy with Franken's candidacy. It's possible that most Democrats aren't happy.
The blame goes to those in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party who nominated him.
Remember this is the same state in which Repubicans and Democrats elected Jesse Ventura as their governor.
Your junior high school logic won't work here.

Because someone put so much creative work into these videos, they are worth a few minutes of your time.
My two favorites are entitled "Funniest Political Video EVER" and "The Real Sarah Palin."
Don't get all serious about this. Just watch and have a laugh. And don't forget to provide comments so MS can increase its hit count.

Higby you are a complete fool, a senator represents one state only therefore the vast majority of democrats have no say or vote for Franken.
Palin is running for a national office therefore everybody gets to vote for her.
Do you see the difference Higby? I know your intellect is mostly used to post YouTube videos but the difference is a simple enough concept which even you might understand.
The people in this area supported their former WWF governor so maybe a comic is acceptable to them.
Dear anonymous 2:41 pm: How much did this list of folks donate to the worthwhile cause "Hurrican Ike Red Cross Relief Fund"? (just curious!)
You have to love Fox News. As Obama surges in key states, reporters and commentators don't know what to do.
In this 26-second clip, the Fox reporter goes to a working class restaurant in Pennsylvania and asks the patrons to raise their hands if they support McCain. Nobody budges. Then he asks who support Obama and everyone raises their hands.
"OK, it's a split" says the reporter.

check out the last pictrure... sad really...
CNN reports Obama making major gains in key states (Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Virginia), and calculates the electoral votes as 250-189 favoring Obama.
Republican consultant Ed Rollins told CNN that the only way for McCain to win the election and reverse his disasters over the last two weeks is to take personal control of his campaign.
Others are joining in the cry for him to dump Palin.
Let's face it, within the last two weeks, only three major things happened:
1. Palin opened her mouth.
2. McCain bumbled his response to the economic crisis and the suspension and "unsuspension" of his campaign.
3. The first debate.

Hey, does anyone know if there is a good blog to go to for Los Angeles Politics?
The Wall Street people are getting increasing worried about and critical of McCain-Palin.
Here someone examined Palin's stock portfolio which included index funds for Australia, Belgium, and Spain, gambling equipment stocks, and of course oil stocks.

Here the author finds big problems with McCain's comments on and plans for the economy.

What's good for ultra liberal Hollywood is not good for most of America.
Do you really think that people outside of major media outlets have the same values as Lorne Michaels, the man who allowed open drug use on his show, and resulted in at least one death?
No, that does not impress people. Neither do any of these other people, when you take a step outside of a major media outlet.
Franken was, at one point, a somewhat humorous person in the same way that Bill Maher is humorous. But ultimately they are just stand up comedians.
And stand up comedians should not be governors, and can't be, except in Minnesota, which has an oddball political bent.
Jesse Ventura. Ever hear of him? It could only happen in Minnesota.
President Reagan. B actor. Ever heard of him?

Is it true that McCain said he never voted for George Bush?

If Palin can claim that she's a foreign affairs expert because she lives close to Russia, then Arnold should qualify as a comedian who became governor based upon the number of comedy movies he starred in.
Haikula. You're either having a McCain moment or I didn't understand your comment. Franken isn't running for governor. He's running for the Senate, and speaking of Congress Frank Grandy (Gopher on The Love Boat) is a Republican congressman from Iowa.
So it seems unfair that Republicans should have a monopoly on comedians in elected office.
The more she writes, the less I like her and I used to like her a lot in the beginning.
One more food-related name and I'm done with her stories. Coffee cakes, swizzlestick, sugarplum or whatever. Notice I said her stories, not MS. I won't be like Alec Baldwin and threaten never to come back to the blog..
I couldn't care less about hits.
