Al Franken's Latest Gaffe

DEMOCRAT Al Franken is not a quick study. Unfortunately, he is a U.S. senator.

DEMOCRAT Franken screws up AGAIN.

Is DEMOCRAT Franken trying to fill the void left by gaffe machine Joe Biden?

If so, he's doing a terrific job.

DEMOCRAT Franken isn't capable of presiding over the Senate.

From The Hill:

Franken, the most famous member of the Senate freshmen class, has logged dozens of hours as presiding officer of the chamber, a duty often given to new senators to help them learn arcane procedural rules.

Franken suffered another embarrassing moment Wednesday morning when he mistakenly recognized Sen. Tom Udall as the “senator from Utah.”

Udall quickly corrected Franken by noting that he’s from New Mexico.

“Oh, God,” Franken boomed into his microphone. “I’m sorry.”

“The senator from New Mexico,” Franken said, emphasizing “New Mexico” to make up for his mistake.

The exchange was less awkward than the kerfuffle Franken sparked last month while presiding over the Senate.

Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) scolded Franken on the floor for allegedly mocking him.

Republican aides said Franken gesticulated and made faces from the chair while McConnell delivered a speech on then-Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.

Bottom line: Franken is not good enough, he's not smart enough, and doggone it, he's an embarrassment.

Mr. Franken has a real mean streak; it's a weakness that hurts Minnesota and our country. So sad.

It's surreal that Franken is a U.S. senator. It's like a bad joke.
