Re: Court rules unaniamously for Franken
Big smurfing deal, they can show all the "Crazy Al" ads they want and it won't change the fact that he is in office and will stay there for the next 5 years. It's just a bunch of sour grapes.

But they can raise funds from outraged righties to combat this Crazy Al caricature.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

I'm sorry, I'm losing track. Were we talking about the current reaction by the republicans or the 9 months of litigation after Coleman proclaimed "If I were trailing, I'd step back?"

Re: Court rules unaniamously for Franken
Out of desperation the RNC has to keep it's shriveled base agitated. Unfortunately in doing so they come off as whirling dervishes of anger, shooting at everything that moves.
Which only alienates the critical swing voters who are tired of that tired old bullsmurf.
Louder and smaller...
"and it's not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Re: Court rules unaniamously for Franken
I think it's funny that the GOP is making light of Al Franken being a former comedian, but the Republican Governor of the great state of "Cahleeforneea" is a former action movie star...

And we should never forget that the patron saint of the GOP was a B-movie star best known for co-starring with a chimpanzee.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Hey! That is totally uncalled for!
Nancy Reagan wasn't the prettiest gal in Hollywood, but she was no chimpanzee.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.

AFAIK Nancy wasn't an actress, but Jane Wyman certainly was.

Sure she was Rob.
By 1949 she was working in Hollywood, and she eventually made 11 movies, including East Side, West Side (1949), Shadow on the Wall (1950), and Hellcats of the Navy (1957), in which she starred with Ronald Reagan.

At least Ronnie managed to finish two terms as Governor of California. He didn't just quit part of the way into his first term...

Of course Ronnie didn't quit as governor. He was a quitter. Totally not concerned with fixing America.
