Gary Hart on Al Franken

[rniel]

One gripe here. Your guest is making a point, maybe it would be good to not try to shoot down all the points he's trying to make. Hart was saying if Iraq erupted into a civil war we could have troops become sitting ducks, isolated and in serious trouble not being able to get back to a safe zone. Franken says, well we could helicopter them out and put them back into safe steel buildings.

1. I think Al was being sarcastic.

3. flew over my head then

He does that so much sometimes I can't even detect it.

[azmouse]

4. I think Al forgets that some subjects are serious

and he tries to make a joke out of everything.

2. Yeah ...

That's him being sarcastic, poking fun at the braindead rationalizations of the right ...

5. who looks stupid? the guy telling the joke? or the guy who doesn't know it

is a joke?
