Politics and religion.

You tried to minimise, and possibly insult, Mr Murphy's accomplishments by calling him a "song and dance man" when he was clearly much more. Where as Mr Franken is first and fore most a very talented satirical comedian, comentator, and writer. Ild include politician to that list but Ill wait and see how his satire helps his new career. I do have to commend Franken for his work with the USO over the last 10 years.

Where did I say that being a song-and-dance man was a bad thing?

You asked the question whether it was sad or ironic that a comedian is now a senator - (I would consider that to be just as minimizing/insulting as you seem to imply I have been toward Senator Murphy).

You didnt answer the question though, you redirected then like you are redirecting now.

ETA: TO answer my own question I think its ironic as most politicians are a joke, and Franken might actually do a better job then most of them.

Jello Biafra once ran against [EDIT]Quentin Kopp[/EDIT].

His platform included unconventional points such as forcing businessmen to wear clown suits within city limits, erecting statues of Dan White all over town and allowing the parks department to sell eggs and tomatoes with which people could pelt them, and a citywide ban on cars (although the latter point was not considered abnormal by many voters at the time, as the city was suffering from serious pollution problems). Biafra has expressed irritation that these parts of his platform attained such notoriety, preferring instead to be remembered for serious proposals such as legalizing squatting in vacant, tax-delinquent buildings and requiring police officers to keep their jobs by running for election voted on by the people of the neighborhoods they patrol.

Senator Lindsay Graham apologized to a candidate for the Supreme Court.

For what?...for the pain of being called out for membership in what could be perceived as a racist organization. Apologized to him and his family for enduring such a thing.

Was it Sonia Sotomayor?

Of course not....it was Samuel Alito.

Now that is irony!

You can see it on the July 16 Jon Stewart Daily Show.

Proof that people take the Daily Show seriously.

You didnt answer the question though, you redirected then like you are redirecting now.

Question: So is it ironic or sad that a proffessional comedian is now a senator?

Answer: No better, nor worse, than a song-and-dance man as Senator (George Murphy, R-Ca.).

There where 2 choices in my question, you choose to redirect instead of answering. I didnt ask if it was better or worse that a comedian was a senator now did I?

Now this leads me to wonder if Mr Franken is the first proffessional comedian to hold a seat as a representative?

OH, I am cracking up here.


I had never heard of George Murphy. He's dead 12 years and had such an impact on CA politics people have forgotten him.


Seriously, Sonny Bono is rolling around in his grave tonight, both of you forgot about him.Toss out a novena or a chant or whatever you all do to purge your souls - he's not here to defend himself....


Is Jello still with us?

Sonny must have actually done something the lefties liked otherwise he would be trashed along with Mr Murphy.

Yes Jello is still with us, I think he might still be doing spoken word tours.

If she's been restrained up 'til now, I wonder what we can expect next week

Palin set to let the tweets 'fly'
Posted: 06:01 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) — Sarah Palin says she's ready to be unleashed.

The Alaska governor, who is set to resign her post at the end of this month, took to the social networking site Twitter Friday to proclaim she's looking forward to being a little less restrained.

"10 dys til less politically correct twitters fly frm my fingertps outside State site," Palin declared.

"I'll stay in touch w/whomever wants via personal twtr site; launch July 26," she also tweeted.

The former GOP vice presidential candidate announced earlier this month she would step down at the end of July instead of serving out the remaining year and a half of her term.

Palin later told reporters she intends to spend her days out of the governor's mansion traveling the country in support of candidates — Republican or Democrat — whose ideas she agrees with.
