Franken basically tells Lieberman to STFU



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK



You have to understand a bit of US Senate procedure to fully appreciate this. No one, ever, objects to someone taking just one more minute to finish their speech. I've never seen it in 20 years in this town. It's funny as hell, and clearly Franken has had enough of Lieberman. These are the small ways that Senators can make Lieberman's life hell. It's a small thing, but you know Lieberman walked out as there pissed. (UPDATE: Reid's office says Franken was simply trying to keep the Senate on schedule. Uh huh. That's why Franken didn't say anything of the sort.)
