You Stay Classy, Al

I can't believe anyone thinks this mope Franken belongs in the Senate. Mocking a college kid because he's a conservative? Grow up.

According to Fritz, things started out fine with him taking photos of fellow Carls (that's what students call themselves) with Franken. Then Franken's curiosity was raised about why Fritz didn't want to be in a pic.

He's a conservative, another Carl yelled out by way of explanation.

At that point, Franken reportedly began peppering Fritz with questions about supporting President George W. Bush and former President Ronald Reagan's tax hikes. Fritz told me he got tense and, as he does in those situations, started chewing the inside of his mouth, a gesture he said was mimicked by Franken; Fritz also thought his style of speech was mocked by Franken.

An aide eventually interrupted Franken's act, Fritz said, by announcing to the candidate that it was time to go.

Fritz told me Monday that he then stuck out his hand to shake Franken's. "Well, at least it's nice to meet you," the GOPer said he told Franken, who reportedly replied, I can't say the same.

There was no handshake, said Fritz.

The man(?) is a one trick pony and an ass to boot. Has he campaigned for anything? Or is he still running on BDS?

Unlike W he earned his way into an Ivy League school.

That's two Ivy League schools in Bush's case, you franken Democratic.

Yes...two Ivies and a prestigious prep school that he got into on someone else's merit...seems to be the pattern of his life...when he's sober.

And Frankenstein? (Why did he chop of the last syllable of his name I wonder?) A comic and comedy writer? Why isn't he in the race for POTUS? He seems eminently qualified to wrestle with Hillery.
