Try this on for size: "Senate Majority Leader Al Franken."

Just sayin'.

Reid announced this morning that they won't try and seat Franken today.

Okay, I'll wait. But eventually: Senate Majority Leader Al Franken.

1. That's odd, Buzzflash says Reid is going to try.

See here: http://www.buzzflash.net/story.php?id=88202

Maybe not today but they are going to try.

2. reid? Pffft

he needs to just go away, with lieberman & "that bunch."

3. Majority leader and other such positions are given based on seniority

Franken will be one of the most junior Senators.

Nice thought, but not for another few years.

8. He will be the most junior Senator...

4. Fits Pretty Good If You Ask Me!

K & R!

5. Ridiculous.

sorry, that's just pie in the sky. And we don't even know how effective a Senator he'll make.

6. Where'd ya get that weed?

Must be good stuff..........

[EstimatedProphet]

7. That'll be hard to pull off without Franken having seniority.

9. Silly. I think he needs to be sworn in as a congressman first, and then

earn the position. This could take some time.

[Snotcicles]

10. They better not swear him in as Congressman. nt

[babylonsister]

11. Senators are members of Congress, no? nt

[Snotcicles]

13. Well I guess, technically. nt

14. Composition of Congress:

15. Yes, and a Cardinal is a member of the Catholic Church

and a Private is a member of the US Army, just like a General... :eyes:

When they're in the Senate, they're called Senators, not congressmen.
