Gopher did a reverse Frankin.

He is now a political talk radio guy on a local show in DC...same station as Rush and Sean.

Whoa...Gopher was also a cum laude Harvard grad with a sense of humor:

Quote:

Born into a family of practicing Caucasians, Grandy survived a turbulent childhood in the tough Sioux City ghetto to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard University....

...At the height of his show business success Grandy abandoned the high life of Hollywood in 1986 to return to his ancestral homeland in Iowa to seek a seat in Congress. No one including members of his immediate family gave him much of a chance. Yet he prevailed in a closely contested election and went on to serve four terms in the U. S. House of Representatives where he earned a reputation as a thoughtful legislator and chick magnet.

In 1992 he challenged his state’s incumbent governor and narrowly lost a Republican primary the outcome of which was later discovered to be influenced by a little known group known as Al Qaeda of Iowa...

Wow - I thought Gandy faded away into the sunset like the Love boat. What an interesting life he has.

Oh my god. You guys have people here who actually quote Michelle Malkin as a source of credible information?

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Are you talking about the documents with Franken's signature or the person who put them up for everyone to see. Strawman arguement doesn't change the facts. Franken is a fraud. The article is quite well footnoted and a simple google search will give you much of the same info. Michelle did a good job of putting it all together.

Quote:

Far from being an innocent party with no knowledge of Air America’s money woes, Franken was a signatory to the agreement. The document, published here for the first time, exposes how Franken misled his listeners and the press about his knowledge of the charity loan.

How about this one:

Quote:

The Air America radio network's biggest star, Al Franken, and its former chairman, Evan Montvel Cohen, were among the signers of a confidential agreement last November that said the network would repay $875,000 to a Bronx nonprofit organization, the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club.

Not that it matters a whole lot, as Coleman is just obstructing now, but Franken has widened his lead as a result of Coleman's lawsuit.

yea, sad, isn't it? Especially since I know him and consider him a friend. :D

I do hope Jill was kidding. If she thought she'd be taken seriously with that kind of idea, she needs a thorough disabusing.

Disabusing? Is that like...spanking?

It's the opposite of databusing.

Does that require tools of some sort?

Ooo, you guys are such teases! No wonder I like it here. :)

Yes, Urbane Guerrilla, I was completely serious about my inability to take anything spewing from Michelle Malkin seriously. The notion that TheMercenary would hold her up as a credible source of unbiased research is as absurd as if I were to quote Michael Moore* and expect you guys to accept it without bursting into hysterical laughter.

*Sorry Moore fans, but I think he's the douche of the Left, and as big of an embarrassment to our side as people like Malkin and Coulter are to the Right.

I can see why you would not like her. Lots of people don't. But the stuff that was posted was factual and referenced. And yea, I like some of her stuff. I can't say I like much of anything by MMoore, but that is just me.
