What is more inappropriate than using a 20 year old photo is believing that people will view this 20 yo photo of Franken’s -act- as reality. We should also chastise any public use of sarcasm and satire because people can’t think for themselves anymore, apparently. For those of you who this post applies to… this post was *sarcastic*.

Um, Dave S., how familiar are you with this site? Because it could easily be argued that the Minnesota Independent has been one of the most pro-Franken media-outlets around. Please do not make liberals look like they have absolutely zero sense of humor. Al Franken is a comedian. Stuart Smalley was in fact, a pretty interesting character. Using a picture of him in no way is a bad reflection on Franken.

I totally agree with Dave S. I’m waiting to see a 20 yo photo of Coleman used in an article.

It is totally inappropriate to use a old photo of Al Franken in character on Saturday Night Live in this article. Did you use Bush cheerleader photos every time you ran a story on the former president? Do stories about California’s governor show the naked Terminator photo? Al Franken is a newly-elected US Senator and should not have 20 year old photos used by your news organization to belittle him.

It seems to me most of the people of Minnesota believe Franken won and they’d appreciate the head honchos, State Supreme Court types and others, to allow that Senate seat to be filled. At some point, it becomes illegal to deny the people the Senator they elected. Dragging this out endlessly is at best silly.

So, currently Minnesota only has one Senator? All of the children are above average? Franken wrote a couple of books with academic foot notes in connection with Harvard. What has Coleman published? I can only assume that Minnesota is “below average”.
