Al Franken: Insufferable Jackass

Al Franken, claiming he was "set up" makes a fool of himself by refusing to speak with John O'Neill on the Michael Medved show.

Unfortunately, I was milling about and did not witness this, but it was the talk of the day.

It's good to see that Al Franken still has the same terrific sense of humor that kept him from being a cast member on SNL for 20 years.

Ace, what the hell are you doing blogging right now? Shouldn't you be drinking cheap vodka and flirting with Wonkette?

The USS Abraham Lincoln hasn't had as many sailors inside. And, it gets disinfected more often.

You know what's the best thing about the web? The slandering. 24/7 baby.

NPR beats up on "conservative bloggers" at CPAC

I just suggested on PW that a "Franken" be made an aggregate unit of measure as in "a Franken of assholes." A "Franken of jackasses" works nicely as well.

Posted by: gail on February 18, 2005 09:51 PM

It could also be the smallest known measureable amount of a substance, as in "Franken sense".

I met John O’Neill for the second time at CPAC, and he is truly a super-nice guy with a good sense of humor.

Altough my visit to CPAC was regrettably time-limited, I had a great time meeting folks like Ace (My wife, SarahW had clued him to be on the lookout for a “town crier”, Senator Norm Coleman (gracious, very friendly guy, and he ripped ol’ Koffi Annan a new one on Thursday night), John O’Neill of course and Admiral Hoffman and wives, and I got to be on Bob Barr’s radio show, and had a nice chat with Bob and Mrs. Barr. The highlight for me, of course, was getting 10 minutes at the lectern Friday morning to present Patrick Henry. Everyone was so nice and complimentary to me after the speech. I hope to go again next year and be able to spend more time and meet more people.

You know, lauraw, we prefer to call them "seamen" rather than "sailors." So properly read:

The USS Abraham Lincoln hasn't had as many seamen inside.

Posted by: Smack on February 19, 2005 03:51 AM

You are quite right. But I didn't want to go overboard.

Posted by: lauraw on February 19, 2005 10:35 AM

Franken won't debate O'Neill. Heh. I haven't called anyone a chickenshit cocksucker in a long time. What a chickenshit cocksucker.

"It's good to see that Al Franken still has the same terrific sense of humor that kept him from being a cast member on SNL for 20 years."

surviving 20 years with those cutthroats means Al has some bodies in his basement.

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
