I saw the photo and wonder if the "-stein" association is what should have popped into my brain.
 
Cool, now they just need to elect Darrell Hammond and Will Ferrell so we can enjoy more Celebrity Jeopardy SNL sketches.

Shuck on it Trebek, shuck it long and shuck it hard!
 
Now, all we have to do is elect Anne Coulter, slather them both in oil, and... profit?

Well they don't have Bush or remnants from his administration OR Pailin to make fun of. Best give them something or we face another industry looking for a bailout!
 
At least Franken won his notoriety as a politically oriented entertainer, unlike some other entertainer/politicians: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono, etc.

I would prefer any democrat to any republican in the senate right now. Not that I am a democrat -- I just loath the reps.
 
I would prefer to bail the SNL cast out instead of the rimjobs that got the money this time around. At least I laughed without tasting bile.

Oh come on, Conan was totally biased anti-Thulsa Doom propaganda.

Total hack job on him.

Wait, are you saying that because Arnold and Reagan didn't act in overtly political movies they are less worthy of becoming elected officials?

Are you forgetting all the time that Reagan spent as the president of the Screen Actors Guild, where he fought to keep communist sentiments out of the union (and contrary to some histories there were a few people that actually wanted to promote a Soviet USA). Then he was spokesman for General Electric, in which capacity he visited small towns in U.S. to meet people and to promote conservative political positions (free enterprise and limited government). Then he gave a Obama-esque speech at the Republican Convention for Barry Goldwater. And from that he launched into his campaign for Governor of California where he served two terms. He was a write-on candidate against Richard Nixon for the 1968 Republican Presidential Nomination. And he ran a serious campaign against Gerald Ford for the Nomination in 1976. Then he was elected in 1980 as president. Between him being governor and president he had a political radio program.

Schwarzenegger wasn't quite so experienced but he started out doing anti-drug public message in 1985, attended every Republican National Convention since 1988, was appointed to chairman of the President's Council on Physical fitness and Sports in 1990, in 1993 he was a Red-Cross ambassador, and in 2002 he personally crafted and sponsored Prop 49 (for after-school programs) which passed. And then he ran in the Recall election for Governor of California in 2003.

Sonny Bono got fed up with the local bureaucracy when he tried to open a restaurant and in response he successfully ran for Mayor of Palm Springs where he served from 1988 to 1992. He ran but lost for U.S. Senate, then he ran for U.S. Representative. Sonny actually had the smallest jump to office.

I'm not saying that I agree with all of their positions but each actually did a reasonable amount of preparation for public office (and as much as Franken). They may not have been the most experienced but the sad truth is that the best people for the job don't usually end up in public office. Anyway there are plenty of elected officials that got there because of their political connections and not because of their ability and experience. At least most entertainer/politicians that get elected aren't total dufuses in part because voters in some ways are more discerning when they come from that background. I am happy as long as we don't see entertainers jumping straight from celebrity activists (who usually think they are above criticism) to President of the U.S.
 
Awesome :lol:


There was an article I read on military.com a while back that was hilarious involving Franken.

I will have to find it for the details but it was something along the lines of him speaking at a military base on issues relating to veterans and only one guy showed up. Had a picture of him sitting up on stage with one guy in front of him amongst dozens of empty tables.

I have a hard time taking him seriously so I do not really care either way.

That happens with a lot of events held for the military like that. It boils down to troops not giving a shit about a majority of the actors,writers,etc... that the military gets to come.

When I was in Iraq the biggest turnout we had was Diamond Dallas Page, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and some comedians. Mainly because everyone was so tired of the place and wanted new stuff to do besides work their asses off and try not to die.

We had some old country singer that wanted to have dinner with some troops here at Ft. Hood and only a handful of troops showed up. I felt bad for him, but I didn't even know who the hell he was.
 
Michael Moore and Ann Coulter should be forced to fornicate. Think about it this way.

A) Michael Moore would probably kill himself after the act, at the very least he'd sink into a deep depression and shy away from the public eye.
B) Ann Coulter would probably be killed by Michael Moore during the act, at the very least she'd sink into a deep depression and shy away from the public eye.

Win-win far as I'm concerned.

Hell no, if anyone Michael would be the one who was killed. Ann the man would tear that shit up.

He would not be able to sit down for a week.
 
My money is on Annie. She'll grow her clitoris cock and give peritonitis to Michael by tearing his rectum.

What is a clitoris cock, you ask?

Why search Bible Black in google images, I say. **NOT WORK SAFE**

**unless your boss considers a chick that has a vulva and a cock that grows out of her clitoris acceptable internet policy.
 
Odd, that never came up during orientation, nor can I find anything about it in the employee handbook. For clarity's sake, I shall brooch this topic at our next meeting. The boss will no doubt take notice of my thoroughness and follow-through on whether or not images of chicks with dongs AND beef drapes growing out of their hoo-ha is acceptable workplace policy. Somebody's got to do it.

I'd put my money on Coulter too.
However if she were covered in Krispy Kremes or submerged in butterscotch pudding. Advantage: Moore.

That reminds me of one of my favorite P&T quotes.

"Christopher Hitchens is to the Catholic Church and Mother Teresa what Micheal Moore is to a ham sandwich. Relentless,unstoppable, and without fear."
