Yeah I know it's kind of old news. But, I like watching him on the senate floor. He's a very strong speaker and very well prepared.

1. I want him cloned!

As always, Sen. Franken is thoroughly prepared, researched, and documented, completely fearless and completely unassailable.

Btw, for those that don't know the amendment passed 68-30

3. Thank you for the additional links.

Franken is incredible. He made mincemeat of the KBR guy, who looked like he wanted to disappear.

4. Thanks. Fascinating -- and I wonder

who the guy in the audience is, visible to the left of Ms Jones. Looks military and he moves around a lot and seems to be reacting to the questioning and testimony. Weird, like he has a dog in this fight...

5. Reminds me of George C. Scott's character in "Dr. Strangelove"

and the guy to the right of de Bernardo looks like a Monty Python cartoon by Terry Gilliam.

6. Turns out he"s her attorney... he has a dog in this fight, indeed!

Forget his name at the moment but just saw him w/ Ms. Jones on The Rachel Maddow Show.
