Mercy me Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 So, it seems that crime pays and if you get more votes than there were voters you can become a senator. The supreme court of MN has ordered that Al Franken be certified as the winner of November's election. How embarrassing for all of us in this country.

homeschoolmom Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 No surprise.... At least it took the first six months of his term to "prove" it was his... <sigh> Now to figure out who to have run against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well you guys did also elect Jesse "The Body" Ventura as governor...so who should be the next celeb Senator? I'm thinking California...but who? So many stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy me Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 It was so atrocious. I can't believe that the court sided with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm sure he's competent-- just not in the way I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think he's competent too; as well as boring, and elitist. So he'll fit right in with the other members of the Political Class. Ever heard him drone sleepily on and on on his radio program. It is perfect material for the floor of the Senate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deus te Amat Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 All my friends back home are excited. I just find it funny how uncounted ballots were suddenly "found" in the trunk of someone's car, and how an unusual number of absentee ballots were discarded this year.... Not to mention the number of zombie voters. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
