So I'm really not sure of the guy yet, but I'm beginning to take a
look at some of the stuff Al Franken is doing. like, standing up to
old party hardliners on both sides of the fence, questioning the
dubious acts of the Healthcare bill etc.

Here' you read it and I'll shut up.

I don't find his attacks of Republicans and Lieberman very impressive.
I think he's a glory hound.

I really don't either, But I found this statement interesting:

""Sen. Franken is certainly not making friends on either side of the
aisle," GOP strategist Ron Bonjean, a former Capitol Hill aide, told
Fox News...

.... Despite his freshman status, Franken hasn't shied away from
confrontation with senior lawmakers, some of whom have spent decades
in the chamber."

Now I understand he's the new kid on the block, but I suppose what I'm
saying is time will certainly tell if he's going to shake up capitol
hill in a constructive way, or if he's going to do nothing but make a
jerk out of himself, that neither side will accept or even really
like.

I'm watching.
