We have a great liberal Dem in there now (4.00 / 2)

I hope Reid gives Franken some good committee assignments, and allows his seniority to start Jan. 5th, when he SHOULD have been sworn in.

Al Franken should not be behind appointees like Roland Burris, Kirsten Gillibrand and the Bennett guy from Colorado. In other words, he shouldn't be punished for Coleman's delay tactics.

Yeah (0.00 / 0)
