Look at just how boring these Elena Kagan hearings have been. So boring that Al Franken had to preoccupy himself with doodling Jeff Sessions, which is quite a good doodle at that. We’re hoping that the picture was only half-finished and was going to be a centaur Jeff Sessions getting shot with a crossbow by the ghost of Thurgood Marshall.

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) keeps giving me reasons to like him.  First, he told Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to STFU.  Now he tells Sen. John Thune (R-SD) to STFU.  Well, not exactly, but he tells him that if he is going to open his mouth then what comes out better not be a bunch of horseshit.

John McCain to the rescue

John McCainJohn McCain is making a habit of involving himself in stuff that has nothing to do with him.  Here’s a video of Sen. Al Franken cutting off everybody’s least favorite person/pile of human feces with lips and flabby cheeks, Joe Lieberman, after his 10 minutes of speaking were up.  Then the old man from Arizona stands up for all things RIGHT and JUST and says that he has never, in all of his 145 years of serving in the Senate, seen such an action.

Seconds later, Carl Levin reminds McCain that the same thing had actually happened earlier the same day.  He probably had forgotten because he’s old and delusional.  Video after the jump. (more…)
