As predicted by many, it appears the meltdown of the most
emotionally unstable member of the United States Senate is
finally underway.
After being a good boy during the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation
hearings, the newly fraudulently installed Sen. Al
Franken (D-ACORN),
couldn't resist letting T. Boone Pickens have it for funding
those delightful Swift Boat ads that helped bury John Kerry's
presidential prospects.
The Politico
reports
According to a source, the wealthy oil and gas magnate and
author of "The First Billion is the Hardest" stepped up to
introduce himself to Franken in a room just off the Senate
Floor after the lunch ended
Franken, who was seated talking to someone else, did not stand
when Pickens said hello. Instead, Franken began to berate him
about the billionaire's financing of the Swift Boat ads in
2004.
According to a source, the confrontation grew heated.
Said Franken spokeswoman Jess McIntosh: "It was a lively
conversation."
This sounds like congressional flakspeak for a vicious
verbal brawl.
It's just the beginning. Sen. Smalley just can't help himself.
Post Script: T. Boone Pickens
