I just watched a video posted on Celtic Diva's site that showed him discussing medical bankruptcies with some doctor from the Hudson Institute (?) who was testifying about health care reform. Actually, there wasn't much of a 'discussion' because Franken (politely but firmly) shut her down with some statistics that clearly proved that her entire premise (that the current proposed reform would actually increase bankruptcies) was WRONG. The more I see this guy, the more I like him. He is REALLLY smart, well-prepared, calls people out on their lies and doesn't take any cr*p from anyone. He is quickly silencing all those critics who mocked him as a SNL-comedian-turned-politician. Go Al!!! Can he PLEASE, PLEASE give lessons to some of his Democratic colleagues!!! http://divasblueoasis.com/diary/897/senate-democrats-this-is-how-its-done I just LOVE me some Al Franken!!!!
