Al Franken; not so funny!
Hello Folks,
So it seems that the world is about to see Al Franken become a senator for the state of Minnesota, since the liberal recount has given him the win.
Franken beat the incumbent Norm Coleman by 225 votes out of nearly 2.9 million votes cast. Coleman is going to contest the results of course, and so he should.
“All lawful votes were counted,” said Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat, who was on the five-member board and defended its work as fair and transparent.
Funny whenever I hear the words fair and transparent in regards to a Democrat, well I laugh.
With President-elect Obama’s Democrats in control of 58 of the 100 Senate seats, seats have become a hot commodity. That’s definitely true what with the extra curricular activities of Blagojevich. So any seat the Dems can get their hand on, means more power in the U.S. Congress, which means they’ll happily commit voter fraud for a doofus like Al Franken.
“After 62 days of careful, painstaking inspection of ballots, I am proud to stand before you as the next senator from Minnesota,” Franken, 57, told a news conference in front of his Minneapolis home with his wife Franni beside him.
Sounds so innocent doesn’t he?
He described the recount as “long, fair and thorough” and pronounced himself anxious to get to work as soon as possible.
Of course the work was long, it takes time to commit voter fraud. It also has to be thorough, groups like ACORN know that. You have to cover your bases as you lie to people and let’s not forget those tracks as well. Need them covered too, otherwise you go to prison.
In an act of typical gall, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid urged Coleman not to continue a long and costly legal battle, and as a concession there would be no attempt by Democrats to seat Franken on Tuesday when the new Congress convenes. How generous.
Coleman responded with, “F**k Harry Reid.” Actually he said something else, I’m just paraphrasing what I think he said.
Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s office said he cannot certify the result until the court challenge is resolved, so it seems Coleman has a few people on his side.
Norm Coleman responded by filing a lawsuit against Al Franken and so he should. It would seem that hundreds of additional ballots were wrongfully rejected, ballots went missing, and some were even counted twice. Let me guess, those were Franken’s.
Coleman’s lawsuit also alleges that votes were cast by ineligible voters, no doubt supplied by ACORN or their Minnesota sub-group ALFRANK.
While Democrats were busy deflecting all of the scandals involving Barack Obama’s (not even in office) administration, it seems someone still managed to be bad for Al. And whenever there’s voter fraud involved in a Democratic case, it means nothing. Michael Moore was going ape shit over the Gore-Bush election, but I don’t see him around Minnesota.
“Something greater than expediency is at stake here,” Coleman said. “Democracy is not a machine. Sometimes it’s messy and inconvenient, and reaching the best conclusion is never quick because speed is not the first objective, fairness is.”
Dems responded with; “Why can’t these a**holes just accept when we’ve cheated and won?!”
It looks like this one is going to be around for a bit. The good news; this is democracy at work and I enjoy it. The bad news; We’ll have to look at more pictures of Al Franken and God knows people shouldn’t have to.
One last thing, Coleman, dude, you really need to close your mouth when you have your picture taken.
I bid adieu,
your Origami reporter,
