About a half hour ago, Sen. Joe Lieberman was making remarks on Medicare on the Senate floor when his allotted time expired. As is standard practice in the Senate, Lieberman asked the chair for a few minutes of additional time to conclude, “without objection.”
But the presiding officer, one Sen. Al Franken, said no. “In my capacity as Senator from Minnesota, I object.”
Lieberman laughed. “Really? Okay, I don't take it personally.”
This must be part of the new atmosphere Obama promised to bring to Washington.

Franken has always been an idiotic liberal. His radio shows were all "in your face" exchanges and his points of view have been radical to the point of socialism. I have no idea why the usually level-headed Minnesotans voted for this guy. They must have hated Coleman very much.
