re: #366 albusteve

Al Franken represents almost everything that is wrong with American politics…he is a liberal hack and far worse, people actually voted for him

He calls the scumbags on their shit. He’s exactly what’s wrong with politics, if you’re acareer politician. He’s an outsider. Isn’t that what everyone pretends they want? Someone who’s not exactly politics as usual? Someone who isn’t calcified with special interest money the way most congressmen are?

I can think of dozens of senators and congressmen who say screaming barking crazy things, and advocate for policies that reinforce their crazy. The bigotry they openly espouse, the conspiracy theories they let loose with in front of cameras.

Notice there’s a whole lot of talk on this blog about insane things the GOP says, and not so much about Al Frabken? Because he doesn’t say crazy things. He’s not actually a hack. he’s behaving more like a senator than most of the guys we have in there right now.
