Their Master’s Voice
By Mitch Berg
How many Twin Cities leftyblogs jumped up and down and chattered like poo-flinging monkeys at the Franken campaign’s claim that, according to their double-dog secret internal count, were up 22 votes in the recount?
Many. A veritable phalanx of the dim, in-the-bag, deluded, chuzzlewitted and overexposed.
How many said “Hey, wait, this is Franken’s lawyer’s internal count, and we might not want to necessarily use this as grounds to throw another epic Broward-County-like tantrum to try to delegitimize any result that doesn’t go our way, undercutting democracy in the process?”
Few. Very few.

Let’s see, Franken is a former writer for SNL. SNL has made skits with Will Farrell playing GWB using the term “strategery” & Tina Fey playing Palin saying “I can see Russia from my house!” Neither were actually said by the real people, yet millions of slack-jawed collectivists swear the saw it with their own eyes.
I think Franken is resorting to the SNL tactic. Just make an obsurdly funny statement that lefties want to believe & they will… no matter how ridiculous the statement is. Trust me, Coleman will win & we are going to hear every moonbat in town tell us how Franken actually won, by 22 votes, but Colman stole it with connections.
