Why Do They Do This?

Why do they allow jerks like Al Franken “shut down” his betters? I’ve seen this before, where a JUNIOR Senator is allowed to sit in the chairman’s seat in congress and crap on better senators than he could ever hope to be. Junior senators should not be allowed to take a turn in this position until he/she has been in the Senate long enough to become a REAL senator. Lieberman handled it well, being used to being crapped on by Democrats, since he “whupped” them in the last election. I’m surprised he even CAUCUSES with them, considering what they’ve done to him. I don't like Liebermann's politics, but I like HIM. He's got gonads. I love to watch him give Democrats "what for." (Media Research Center)
