THIS IS RICH

The GOP hypocrites are upset that Al Franken will be a senator and have the gall to accuse him of partisanship when they cheered Caribou Barbie for implying that liberals and Democrats weren't "real Americans."

GOP sees Franken as top public enemy

Marty Seifert, the Republican leader in the Minnesota House of Representatives, said Franken’s long record of antagonizing conservatives would make it difficult for him to connect with voters who supported Coleman.

Prominent conservative Rush Limbaugh, who Franken mocked in the title of one of his books, has already jabbed Franken on his radio show, telling listeners in December that Franken “won’t quit [the Senate race] because he doesn’t know how to get a real job…He’s a pathetic figure.”

Republican activist Joe Repya, a retired military officer who considered running against Coleman in the GOP primary, said Franken is “viewed by both sides as a mean-spirited, carpet-bagging, foul-mouthed sexist supported by Hollywood money.”

I've read two of Franken's books and each one is a humorous and honest expose of the fundamental poverty of conservative ideology.
