Why should you care if your the evidence for your statement is fabricated? I guess that I overestimated you.

Me thinks Dex's opinion of Al Franken has less to do with the image you take umbrage with than you think it does.

I also think that whether the image is real of not has very little to do with a persons opinion on policies of someone else. That is likely the reason why Dex could care less about the accuracy/legitimacy of the image. I am fairly certain that Dex would disagree with Al Franken regardless of the image in question.

However it's still a funny image. I knew where it was from when I posted it. I was an SNL junkie in a previous life (on a related note: the new cast sucks donkey nuts compared to the older "classic" cast).

But since I don't live in MN I'll defer to others who do live there in terms of what they like/dislike about him. Much like I'll pay little heed to the complaints about Sheila Jackson-Lee from someone who lives in Washington State and had never lived in Houston.

I would. Frankin is a worthless piece of shite. Unlike Wicked....I live here. I get to see what he does from the front row, as opposed to puff pieces in HuffPo. Just when I thought that Wellstone was the biggest clown my State could produce, here comes Frankin.

To compare him to Pawlenty is a laugh. T-Paw pulled us out of the largest budget deficit in State history. That is how he (a Repub)earned himself two terms, and if he would have ran, he would have easily won three (in a Dem leaning State). I'm not a huge fan, but at least he has done something other than be a failed talk radio host, or the most unfunny guy on SNL since Joe Piscopo.

He's not good enough
He's not smart enough.
And gosh darn-it, many people just don't like him. No matter what someone who lives in Kennedy/Kerry country thinks.
