He (Franken) would have made a better "Commander-in-Chief." Do not let Obama fool you, with his smooth talk and "scare-tatics." He is obviously no George Washington nor Winston Churchill nor... Confucius.

Republican Party is Done, Gone, Finished.
Filibuster for us. The Duds and Incompetent have been Eliminated.
Freedom has Come to America.
We no more have Idiots Running our Country.
We have no more Criminals in White House.

CELEBRATIONS, CONGRATULATIONS, JUBILATIONS.

Well, now I know! Have a nice day!

Somebody may want to ask the Iowa Democratic Party about the last time he was a guest speaker at one of their events.

SAD and sorry GOP! So glad he finally got accepted. Now the GOPers can finally do what they've been doing for 8+ years; sit and do NOTHING but complain.

Sure am hoping that this Steak Fry can celebrate some Progressive victories on Health Care... The end of DOMA and Single Payer or at least Public Option.

May the sun shine bright on Indianola that day.

PS: to Randolph Carter "Steak Fry" is IA speak for a great outdoor GRILLING experience. Ranks right up there with a IA Pork Producers Hog Roast.

mmmm....steak....

@ Randolph Carter

What a wonderful world it is for President Barack Obama (SMILE)

Another so called "celebrity" elected official – because we see how well the others have worked out – Clint Eastwood, Jesse Ventura, Sonny Bono, et al. Arnold is one the few that have had any success. I do not like the idea of this guy, whose life experience is writing jokes, as a senator. To me, this shows that people do not take elections or elected officials seriously.

Just as I thought would happen, the Republicans are saying Al Franken stole the election in Minnesota. See Greg's comment above. The Republicans can not seem to grasp the fact that the country has clearly stated they support the Democratic party. Speaking of stealing elections – remember the presidential elections of both 2000 and 2004 - now if you are going to steal an election, that is the way to do it!! With news just released that Barack Obama is the most admired head of state in the world, I am waiting to see how the poor-loser Repubicans spin that information....... Go Al and congratulations on your win.

Funny how people seem to overlook that Franken has a degree from Harvard in Political Science.

Good for you Al. We are sure you'll be a great addition to the Senate.

Now the Dems have a full set of teeth to take a bit out of all that scary talk stuff that the party of pachyderms profess.

Even now the best the Repubs can muster is to worry about the Metric system.

Good luck Al.

It's easy to make fun of Franken, or diminish him because of the silly nature of his comedy, but I think he handled the recount process with class and patience.

He seems like a decent and humble guy, and I hope the people of Minnesota give him a chance, even the ones who didn't vote for him.

Well Greg, how exactly did he steal it? He did get the majority of the votes. Even if it was by a very slim margin, he still won. And if I'm not mistaken it was his contender that took the matter to court... and lost. So please enlighten me as to how it was stolen.

They need the court jester like AL.

Just one more liberal goofball bellying up to the trough!

Steak Fry? Seriously? What is wrong with these people? Steak should be grilled rare to medium rare over really really hot charcoal. Period. And no steak sauce, blech! Dang, now I'm hungry for a steak. Have a nice day!

I am sure he will invite his team of lawyers that assisted in stealing his new congressional seat.
