Al Franken physically assaulted??
I just heard on my local news that Al Franken was assaulted and his glasses broken.

Anyone hear anything about that?

3. Uh, maybe he was assaulted. Maybe he did the assaulting.
He was dislodging a heckler and got roughed up while roughing up.

That's how I heard it. I expect this story will be told many many many times.

6. Wasn't Franken a fairly competent wrestler in his day?
I think this guy can take pretty good care of himself, and it sounds like he did.

7. He was interacting with a LaRouche-er
Tackling LaRouche supporters is a public service.

9. Holy Sheep$hit!
Edited on Wed Jan-28-04 08:03 AM by Hubert Flottz
Bob "NoSak's" violent attack and now our friend Al attacked by another rabid hatemonger political nutcase, who sounds very similar BTW, to "NoSak"!

Does this mean the Revolution has started and the pubbies want to hit us with the first sucker punch? Should we Lock And Load, Or Just Duck And Cover?

11. Franken broke out the spinebuster.
I'm hoping we'll see the sharpshooter, powerbomb, ddt or figure 4 leg-lock further on in the primaries.
