Reid Urges Quick Certification of Franken

It’s only a few minutes old, this news that the Minnesota Supreme Court, at long last, has ruled Al Franken the winner of last November’s Senate election. But Democratic leaders in Washington are already celebrating.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) just issued a statement calling on Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) “to respect the votes of his constituents and the decisions of his state’s highest court.”

He should put politics aside, follow his state’s laws and finally sign the certificate that will bring this episode to an end.

There’s good reason behind Reid’s call for urgency. Senate Democrats might number 60 officially, but with Sens. Edward Kennedy (Mass.) and Robert Byrd (W.Va.) both out indefinitely with illnesses, party leaders can use all the help they can get for the tough legislative battles that loom this summer.

I HOPE YOU PEOPLE IN Minnesota ARE HAPPY THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN YOUR STATE DECIDED THAT YOUR VOTES DIDNT MATTER AND ESSENTUALLY STOLE THE ELECTION. THEY COUNTED AND DOUBLE COUNTED THOUSANDS OF VOTES AND THREW OUT VOTES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COUNTED.

YOU PEOPLE IN Minnesota DESERVE THIS IDIOT AND I WILL CELEBRATE THE DAY THAT YOUR STATE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WHEN HE IS DONE WITH IT.

TODAY IS THE DAY I BOYCOTT Minnesota.
I WILL NOT BUY A SINGLE PRODUCT THAT I KNOW IS BUILT THERE.
I WILL NOT VACATION THERE.
I WILL LAUGH AT PEOPLE THAT I MEET THAT COME FROM YOUR STATE.

Minnesota IS OFFICALLY A JOKE TODAY.

I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD.

YOU ELECTED A COMEDIAN TO MAKE SERIOUS LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS THAT AFFECT YOUR FAMILY.

HOW PATHETIC YOU PEOPLE TRUELY ARE.

FOOLs FOOLs FOOLs AND NOW YOU WILL BE LED BY A FOOL.
