Question:  Where did this come from:

Is this the first signs of the City Pages rightward turn? CP attacks Al Franken in what they claim is “a lighthearted story not meant to be a huge expose.” This is a perfect example of conservative framing: Al Franken should not be considered a serious candidate, we have anecdotal evidence that you should take at face value.  

Was it:  

1. Scrappleface, impersonating a rabid paranoid leftyblogger?
2. Dementee, impersonating a rabid not-too-bright leftyblogger?
3. Sisyphus, impersonating a rabid bipolar off-her-meds leftyblogger?
4. Ryan Rhodes, impersonating a seriously impacted leftyblogger?

Of course, the answer is “None of the Above”.  It’s from “MNBlue”, a piece entitled “First signs of the City Pages rightward turn?”  (Via MDE)

The world of competition is crowded with legendary rivalries; Man U and Arsenal; Chicago and Green Bay; the Beatles and the Four Seasons; Turkey and Greece; Tastes Great and Less Filling. 

But perhaps the most crowded, intense competition there is is the “Twin Cities’ Unintentionally Funniest Leftyblog” competition.

We may need to have a formal poll, one of these days, to pick a “winner”. 

MNBlue, though, has to make the short list.  Peopled by the likes of the permanently-shrieking longtime Saint Paul DFL dynastician and blood pressure patient Andy “Disarm the Law-Abiding!” Driscoll, the audibly-doddering conspiracy wacko Grace “the troops are a bunch of thugs” Kelly, and “The Big E” (where “E” apparently stands for “Easily Mocked”), it gives Sue Lenfestey and Cucky Stool runs for their money. 

Poll. 

Hmmm.

I smell a contest coming!
