Al Franken vs Diana Furchtgott-Roth of Hudson Institute
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) questioned Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Diana Furchtgott-Roth about medical bankruptcies. Franken asked Furchtgott-Roth — who claimed that moving towards a European-style system of universal health care would increase bankruptcies — about how many medical bankruptcies there were in countries that have universal health care.

Oh man, the look on her face.
Awesomeness.
So now we have proof that Al Franken is a pompous ass.
I like how she tried to throw in a talking point at the end and change the subject from finance, after she started it.
Then Al Franken shoots down her study, and dismisses her red herring to conclude back on the original topic. Hilarious.

You say that is if it's a bad thing.
He definitely is a pompous ass, but he's my kind of pompous ass -- he's intelligent and knowledgeable, and he knows it.

He is a politician now, who not only ran for election but will one day run for re-election. Politicians are ALL a collection of pompuses asses!!!! It is their nature!!! Quit reserved intelligence doesn't get votes!!!!!
On election day you go into the booth and vote for the least assinine, we hope.

i don't think he seems pompous or smarmy at all. i think he seems angry, and justifiably so. i myself have been angry for many years at the kind of fear-based bullshit that this woman and her ilk are peddling.
