Warning! Trolls are mocked and/or turned into puppets here! Do not troll these fine dry waters!
Of course, Al Franken is setting his cap for Norm Coleman's Senate seat, so he may not be interested in the veep slot.
This post will seem a lot funnier when McCain chooses Hillary for his Veep after Obama tells her to get lost.
On board the Icebreaker Mackinaw, one warning would be broadcast when we were entering rough storms (or I was baking):
"Stand bye for heavy rolls!"
Things are going to get nasty in this election, sooner than later. Stand bye.
It's Frankenstein, not Franken.
He'd accept the VP if whoever offers it to him will let him make all the decisions once the oath of office is taken.
Al Franken...control freak? He doesn't have a very good track record, but you're right-he likes to be "The Guy".
I was going to mention his tax problems, but I wanted to get it straight, so here it is, from his Wiki:"New York state officials stated Al Franken Inc. failed to carry workers' compensation insurance for employees from 2002 to 2005. Franken paid the $25,000 fine to the state of New York upon being advised his corporation was out of compliance with the state's workers compensation laws.[12] [13]
The California Franchise Tax Board reported the same corporation owes more than $4,743.40 in taxes, fines and associated penalties in the state of California for the years from 2003 through 2007 because the corporation did not file tax returns in the state for those years.[14] A Franken spokesman said that it followed the advice of an accountant who believed when the corporation stopped doing business in California that no further filing was required.[15][16] However, Republicans say that Franken made 32 public appearances between 2003 - 2007, including two on NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno taped in Burbank, Calif., for which Franken would have been paid the standard union fee as a member of the Screen Actors Guild.[17] On April 29, 2008, Franken released a statement noting that he will pay about $70,000 in back income taxes in 17 states dating to 2003. Most of the income at issue was from speeches and other paid appearances by the comedian-turned candidate, who said he got bad advice from his accountant, who told him to pay income tax only in his state of residence. Franken will seek retroactive credit from the states where he paid income tax that should have been paid in these 17 states.[18]"
So, I don't think he's an actual tax cheat, but he is too much of a buffoon to have a say in managing OUR money as a Senator.
The way he points his finger, blaming his accountant is, sad to say, very Senatorial.
