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.

Uh oh.....John's going to be ****ed. You said something decent about a
liberal.......

Eh, Loog. you know me. I'm the kind of guy that likes to sit back and
watch. I'm not a fan of politics or politicians. I jsut watching to
see what Franken is doing. Maybe busting us the good 'ol boys club is
good, but then again, his regardless of party, his 'in your face'
attitude might come back to bite him if he chews on the wrong one at
the right time. I consider the capitpl round table to be a club more
than anything and it might provide some entertainement to watch junior
Franken as he snuggles his way in on the elite.

I got plenty of popcorn...

A lot of reformers end up serving only one term. Seems like they can't get
the endorsements they need for reelection. I think the guy is one level
above pond scum, but as stated, let's see what he can do. He may be a poor
excuse for a comedian and person, but maybe he can help change some things
that need to be changed. Or even just shake the tree.
