 post, at least Franken has enough of a pair to actually go to Iraq, 
regulary, and support the morale of the troops there.  I think Franken is 
probably one of the weakest for getting the truth out, though his satire does 
have its' value.  If you want to know what the truth is listen to Amy Goodman 
and her Democracy Now show, or the Randi Rhodes segment of Air America.

I have coroborating evidence. You are the doofus for being taken in by
that leftist weenie gasbag. I have heard his radio show. I always hit
the switch when the laughing machine comes on grovelling and guffawing,
carping and whining. That imbecillic woman sidekick who gushes forth
with the same phony laughter spurt every five 
minutes, at the least provocation, usually nothing humorous. Franken
wouldn't know what to do with himself without her around; the show would
fall apart. Its the left analogue of the Rush Limbaugh show.

If he is typical of the answer the Democrats, The Left, The
Progressives, The Greens, etc., all the good guys, have in 
answer to all the rightwing-sponsored government-corporate collusion and
corruption, the mess we witness daily, the 
erosion of the fabric of our society and our culture, then there's no
hope for us.

I have two interesting friends in my neighborhood. One is an 82 year old
homesteading 3rd generation farmer and loyal 
Democrat who said that Hillary Clinton has more sense in her big toe
than George Bush has in his enttire body. The other 
is a Vietnam War Marine Veteran, who saw action, who is also a loyal
Democrat, who maintains that the Democrats are the 
friend of the soldier and stand up for the common man always and without
exception. Maybe I am too harsh about Franken 
and he may deserve another listen, which I will do. But these days
people in the public eye need to talk the talk and 
walk the walk. You're either part of the solution, or you're part of the
problem.
