Liberal blogs are buzzing about Al Franken's performance on the U.S. Senate floor, claiming that he "destroyed" Republican Sen. John Thune's contention that the Senate health bill triggers taxes before significant benefits. But the video shows a different story. During Franken's Senate floor speech, the Minnesota Democrat appears to be rambling, confused and shocked when Thune interrupts him to "yield for a question." Franken agrees to Thune's request and seems befuddled about Thune's point: The Democratic plan kicks in significant taxes almost immediately, with MOST of the Democratic healthcare plan "benefits" starting after 2013. Franken's performance was so dismal that the acting president of the Senate had to interrupt his rambling to remind him that he actually held the Senate floor. Other Democratic senators clearly wanted to assist the blustering Franken, with Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown leading the charge. Brown deflected Thune's critical point to discuss Medicare. The Franken performance suggests that "Saturday Night Live" finally has found its way on to the U.S. Senate floor.

Oh yea...Franken was REAL befuddled and confused... [snicker]
The "Senator" making the ONLY kind of "point" he's qualified to make. Franken: "He [Thune] just said....(duh)...that nothing we were paying for...starts until 1800 days from now...[it's] starting Day One....he doesn't want to hear it." Franken is a liar. Franken put words in Thune's mouth. Franken is confused. Then Franken made up his OWN "facts." Then Lorne Michael said "CUT!!" Franken also claimed MOST of the benefits of this multi-trillion dollar bullsh*t begin "Day One." HUH?? Lol, how much horsesh*t must we endure from this nitwit?
