The GOP On Al Franken

Former comedian Al Franken will be Senator Franken after being sworn in on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 but he’s not laughing. He’s quite serious about proving that he is no longer a comedian and about his role as the 60th Democrat U. S. Senator, who is providing the historic filibuster-proof supermajority.

Scott Drake discusses the new balance of the U. S. Senate with Scott Wheeler, executive director of the National Republican Trust, the third largest conservative political PAC in the US, just behind the NRA.

As you might imagine, Wheeler isn't too complimentary of Franken or the process that got him elected.
