Al Franken is stabbing Kerry in the back.

 

He's ripping on the global test remark, his stance on Iraq and lying about the Vietnam medals.

 

He called Bush supporters 'delusional'

Ummmm... BOB I expect YOU of all people to recognize sarcasm considering your the big SNL afficionado on this board

 

Franken was using all of the extreme right wing crap as a joke. Notice how he said "Kerry should've have said he would ban the bible... especially in the christian communities. Maybe the atheists..."

I know the bible thing was a joke but he sounded serious when talking about Iraq and Vietnam

Oh yeah, and fuck young people. You craven pieces of shit who try to pretend that you matter when you don't fucking vote.

Why the fuck should I have voted for John Kerry, if not for the "Lesser of Two Evils"?

 

I'd say that for being a candidate closer to my views.. he flat out surrendered today.

 

Young people won't vote for someone who has no real spine.

 

You can register all the god damn people you want, but if you don't give them a choice, they will sit on their asses.

 

The views of most young people are not adequately met by the current Democratic party

so he sounded serious when he said "and he probably shouldn't have shot himself in the leg and lied about it to get his medals" ?

You guys had a bet? My last board bet didn't go so well. Instead of giving me the fifty dollars and changing his avatar and sig to match DerangedHermit's, Kotz just vanished off the face of the earth.

I didn't hear that part- I'm on 4 hours sleep you know. Cut me some slack

It's alright... I'm just letting you know. I never listen to Franken (or any pundit for that matter) but I tuned in to see the reactions. Franken isn't bashing Kerry but the guys on before him were. Kind of ridiculous... "I feel betrayed" they kept saying over and over again

Franken is so far out on the lunatic fringe that it isn't even funny.

 

 

His tendency to do the outrageous to guests of NBC while working there was a severe CLM (career limiting move) and has been listed as a reason why Jean Doumanian took over SNL in 1980 and flushed the show down the toilet. (Franken was Lorne Michaels' choice to take over but Al decided to be an ass and did a skit disparaging the embattled head of NBC. That stunt kept Lorne from being involved in naming his successor.)

His ripping on Fred Silverman was hilarious.

 

He's a real funny guy- Why Not Me is hilarious

I should've just got trashed last night. I'd probably feel a million times better right now.

Damn straight.

 

If you bitch about Bush and didn't vote, you have ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

The Silverman bit WAS hilarious.

 

 

However, his tendency to abuse guests on other NBC shows like Spiro Agnew on the Tom Snyder show and Henry Kissinger, who was trying to get tickets for his kid to see SNL, were just mean-spirited.

More personal opinion:

 

keep politicians the hell away from running the elections

 

since most states have their Secretary of State, a politician, who runs elections

 

Too much potential for major problems on both sides

A partisan Secretary Of State is still better than an entrenched civil servant...

 

At least a Secretary Of State can be removed if the people aren't happy with their work. Civil servants are entrenched somewhat permanently unless they do something illegal or insubordinate.

I was thinking more along the lines of making secretary of state a non-partisan office which has some bars to prevent people who are holding elective office (or have held it within a certain time frame) from running for the spot.

 

Just having it be an appointed position wouldn't do much.

 

Having Secretaries of State endorse candidates in elections that they're running is just unethical. I'm not saying they would do anything, I'm just saying it's unethical.

Nope, you have to vote to have any right to complain about the government.

You can complain (like I am - a NYer that voted for Kerry), just so long as you voted.

 

No vote = no right to complain.
