If not for Act Blue bigfooting MN Democrats and endorsing Al Franken over one year out from the election, Franken would have been more aggressively primaried and would have emerged tested and ready for living sleaze embodiment Norm "Iranian businessmen buy my suits" Coleman. <br /><br />Jesse Ventura could have beaten Norm Coleman (actually, he did). That it took Franken six months to get seated was a tribute to how poorly things work when out of staters get involved in state party issues. (It's also a tribute to the DFL's insanely counter-productive caucus/endorsement process, which tries heroically to thwart actual grassroots candidates.)Mark Gislesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264508885194574116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-77970932277449021842016-03-09T12:20:33.448-06:002016-03-09T12:20:33.448-06:00Al Franken will go down in history for writing the...Al Franken will go down in history for writing the what is possibly funniest sketch every shown on SNL, 'The Final Days' with Aykroyd and Belushi as Nixon and Kissinger.

Should not Barack Obama be happy to add this to his legacy? "He governed very effectively despite unrelenting obstruction from the Republicans. The failure to ruin his presidency drove the Republican base batshit crazy enough to go for Trump."<br /><br />That's pretty much the case for "Obama is to blame for Trump" isn't it? Part of me agrees with the analysis. The Republicans have been marching to the crazier for decades, but Obama frustrated them so much they went screaming over a cliff. <br /><br />Credit where credit is due, I say.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395898178058783500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-87376289282120604782016-03-08T21:44:42.197-06:002016-03-08T21:44:42.197-06:00From the time of ancient empires through the medie...From the time of ancient empires through the medieval monarchies until today, there has always been an overabundant supply of fawning courtiers like this doofus.

Was it so golden way back in the days of the fanciful notion of bipartisanship in service to the people, when Democrats quietly took it in the ass by Republicans shaming dissent as treason. They may want it so but we know that shining city on a hill never existed in the first place. Especially if you happened to be of color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
