Franken Family Values

[MineralMan]

Joe, Al, Franni, another Joe, Thomasin

Thanks Al! You are what the future needs to be in the Senate.

[MineralMan]

1. Wait a minute...What's Biden Looking At?

The perv. :rofl:

[rucky]

6. That's what Franni's wondering, too.

[alphafemale]

11. I spotted that, too. Then I noticed the "growing boy" that really needs a new suit.

That button is about to put someone's eye out!
:rofl:

[gateley]

2. Agree. nt

[madokie]

3. Quickly becoming my favorite

He came to work and it shows. Good on him and his family

[Goldstein1984]

4. Franken seems to be one of the good guys

The Republicans I'm surrounded by at work hate him. That says it all.

[wildflower]

5. Wow, Joe really looks like him!

(The Joe on the left)

7. If he was any good, he'd be the last holdout. Holding out until there was a P.O. just my 0.02 nt

[MineralMan]

14. OK. That's your opinion. You're welcome to it.

[Shagbark Hickory]

20. Just so we're on the same page...

I think he's a nice guy, real funny. And we're probably spot on, ideologically.
But we need some politicians that stand up for what they believe in and not cave in.
That would make him a great guy but not such a great politician.

[Snotcicles]

23. Yeah the most junior Senator has to do all the heavy lifting.

I think the assholes that have been there for twenty years should step up to the plate and earn their golden retirement packages.

8. I never would've dreamed when I watched

him play Stewart Smalley that he would one day become one of our best Senators. Odd beginnings for such an admirable career.

[Zomby Woof]

10. He started writing for SNL back in 1975

Been lot of dues paying in the trenches before he worked his way to the senate. Pretty amazing trek.

[LuvNewcastle]

12. He's a Renaissance man.

I doubt there's much he can't do if he sets his mind to it. I'm glad the people of Minnesota made the right choice; we're lucky to have him.

9. What a great family . . . they look so real n/t

[MineralMan]

13. They are real. I've met them all. Franni's a sweetie.

Thomasin is a really sincere young woman. Joe's kinda shy. Al is really very serious, except when he's not, which is fairly frequently.

[alp227]

15. Senator Franken's son looks like one of the characters from Gossip Girl

lol n/t

But anyway, nice photo. Why was the Franken family in the White House anyway?

[MineralMan]

16. Swearing in ceremony, I think. Was that the White House?

Anyhow, the place I stole the picture from said something about the swearing in.

[alp227]

21. Biden was there so i thought it was the WH.

Thanks for clarifying. The Vice Prez also is Prez of the Senate, too.

[MineralMan]

22. And, potentially, breaker of ties. Who knows? We may need that

one day soon.

[Snotcicles]

17. Careful Al, sleep with one eye open. nt

[hyphenate]

18. Now see, why couldn't Laura

Bush learn to dress like Franni? Beautifully coordinated, nice colors for her, and no glazed-over look in her eyes.

[MineralMan]

19. In person, she is right there. Open, honest, interested.

Together, they make quite a couple. The affection they have for each other is quite obvious. Sorta like Barack and Michelle Obama. They're very likable people.
