      Doofus, bimbo and butthead discussing sanity......what a joke. This may as well be a Saturday night live skit. Anyone who heard Al Franken on his radio show knows of his logic and intelligence far outshines these moronic fox news parrots

      And people wonder how the fans listen and adore Rush and Savage?

      But those who remotely believe these Three Stooges* really need questioned about sanity.

        Comparing these morons to the Three Stooges only works when you compare them to Joe Besser, the worst Stooge of them all.

            No, Shemp Howard was pretty good. Joe Besser was an actor Columbia had under contract that they forced the Three Stooges producer to use. He was more well-known for playing Stinky on the Abbott & Costello TV show, and his most well-known "catch phrase" was "Ooh, I'm gonna give you SUCH a pinch!"

            He sucked as a stooge.

      Just how exactly is this considered..... news? By what or who's standard does Fox-Noise use?

      Sadly, some of the morons that watch this crappy show will undoubtedly take Kilmeade's word that Senator Franken has mental issues without any proof what so ever. Just the word of a half-wit and his little helpers.

      I would say that Senator Franken should sue these people for lying, but considering what happened to the two ex-Fox producers down in Florida a few years back... probably not the best idea...

        Is she a woman? Yes.

        Is she a Republican? Yes.

        Therefore, she MUST be insane.

          Michelle Bachman has a very distorted world view, and is consistent in betraying her profound ignorance in the media. Ironically, she's every bit as colorful and entertaining as a comedian or pro wrestler, except they tend to have a firmer footing in the real world than Bachman.
          She is borderline certifiable.

      I don't know these guys. I was stationed overseas for a long time and was forced to get a great deal of my news from Faux Noise, as it was the favored provider for the military channel, but since my return, I haven't tuned in. But when I do watch Fixed News, I am struck by the number of interchangeable bleached blonde hair helmets,faux tans and bright white veneers for the women and the pasty faced stiffs in dark suits for the men. How do people keep them all straight?

        DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL.
        At Fox that means I can't ask a question by myself and I won't tell you anything not written from a producer

          Quite true, in coming here, I have seen proof of Fox's legendary "talking points" on several occasions. Different shows use the same tedious accusations at different times of the day to hammer the Faux view home to the viewers.

      Kilmeade asked for a raise from Murdoch six months ago, he refused. He most likely will get that raise.

      Al Franken is an angry man based on the books he wrote!

      Only in the world of the Doocy-bag and friends would a guy who wrote Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and backed it up, be "angry." These poor people have no idea what they're doing but a very good idea of what they're saying. Fox and Friends viewers must be among the most misinformed viewers in the history of television. And on that network, that's quite amazing.

      I'm just sick of how Fox is covering this... they ignore the facts and the throw away "...some consider suspicious" is the behavior of a gossip magazine.

      They are treating this like the election was stolen from them.

      Why can't they simply say...

      1. At the end of the election the margin of victory for Senator Coleman was 215 votes.
      2. Minnesota law stipulates that if the margin of victory is less than 0.5% there is an automatic recount, which is what occurred.
      3. The recount swung almost 500 votes in the favor of Al Franken, giving him a 225 vote margin
      4. On Jan 5, the Minnesota State Canvassing board certified the recount totals.
      4. On Jan 6, Senator Coleman filed an election contest, claiming that 387 absentee ballots were improperly discarded.
      5. The 3 judge panel ruled in favor of Senator Coleman and said that 351 of the 387 absentee ballots should not have been discarded and were ordered to be counted.
      6. After the 351 absentee ballots were counted, Al Franken's lead went from 225 to 312.
      7. April 13, Minnesota courts confirms Al Franken as the elected Senator.
      8. April 20, Coleman appeals
      9. June 1, the case is heard by the State Supreme Court
      10. June 30, his appeal was rejected by a unanimous (7-0) decision.

      When I look at the facts, I think that this was an incredibly close race that came down to a handful of voters. But someone has to win and to hear these Fox reporters act like children makes me sad.

      From what I have read I can't believe anyone would dispute the legitimacy of the process.

      I want her to tell me who exactly who are the "some" in that throwaway line "some think is suspicious"
