Stuart Smalley Goes To Washington

Stuart Smalley Goes to Washington

Minnesotans, this is your new senator!

“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

Truer words were never spake nor writ than that cynical observation of H.L. Mencken. The good citizens and the Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota confirmed their truth by electing and confirming Al Franken, aka Stuart Smalley, as United States Senator.

I had hoped and thought it was some judicial mistake or a reporting error but then I read it on USA Today so, regrettably, it can’t be an error even if the ruling was a gross miscarriage of justice: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-06-30-franken-senate_N.htm?csp=34

He’s just what the senate and the nation need in these critical times, an unfunny clown to complement the executive branch’s entry for the nation’s most outstanding circus performer, Joe Biden.

Lackluster, talentless comic, tireless abuser of American values, failed left wing radio talk show host Franken will represent Minnesota for the next six, long years in the hallowed hall of the “world’s greatest deliberative body,” thereby proving that H.L. Mencken was indeed a prophet in his own land.

When Democrat Franken first announced he would make a run for the senate seat then held by Republican Norm Coleman, it was widely assumed to be another joke by the media-hungry Franken but it turned out he was being serious for a change.

It was in fact a joke, a bitter jest that he would think himself qualified to be a United States Senator and believe Minnesotans would elect him.

The joke appears to be on us scoffers following months of recounts, protests, and Democratic Party chicanery that would have made Chicagoans proud. Their fellow midwesterners showed that dirty politics and ballot stuffing were not exclusive to Illinois and that the ”Land of 10,000 Lakes” could be as dumb and corrupt as they.

The Minnesota fraud that blossomed and grew exponentially was detected as early as November 8th, four days after voters cast their ballots: http://www.poligazette.com/2008/11/08/evidence-of-election-fraud-mounts-in-minnesota/. . . .
