Landslide Al Franken
Landslide Al Franken joined the rest of the free world as he and his wife Franni came to town for the inauguration of Barack Obama as president.
They hosted a 1000 dollar a plate "inaugural brunch" as the officially certified almost senator, maybe, made his first visit to Washington since the election. Landslide Franken gave no estimate of the cash the 350-person fundraiser raised, where top donors were asked to contribute $12,300 for a joint recount fund with the Minnesota DFL Party.
It costs a lot of money. I'm not sure of the specific amount - Franken on the recount dogfight contributions
Mr. and Mrs. Landslide Franken, also met with wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for two hours Saturday, his second USO visit to the hospital.
Landslide Al had a meeting with Democratic leader Harry Reid in November, but has not asked Senate democrats to step in unless he has that election certificate that has to be signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty(R)
I don't have those kinds of conversations. . We'll see how the certificate process goes. But this is really for the Senate and the courts in Minnesota [to decide] - Al Franken
A spokesman for Norm Coleman tried to show the sunny side of the street.
If Al Franken's out-of-state friends think they are spending their money on anything other than an artificial lead, we've got some nice swamp land to sell them. This money will be used to try to short-circuit Minnesota election law. Nothing more, nothing less - Coleman spokesman Luke Friedrich.
Ahhh...the duel continues.
