The federal government takeover has begun in every facet of the average American’s life. After this new health care is up and running in a few years Americans will be told what they can or can not eat.. Why? Because your health is an intrest of the federal government. Does that sound like freedom? This bill is not free and it is not better, any time government is involved in something there is extreme waste, corruption, and ineptness, hopefully it’ll be ruled unconstitutional by the Supre Court.

100% of that statistic is made up.
I miss his satire books:) I hope he will write more books bashing O’Reilly, Limbaugh, and other trash.
70 percent of us don’t want this bill. How is that Democracy?
I like Al. Not because he was funny, but because he is a good speaker and rep. Most people don’t want to take him seriously, but he manages to make his point and it’s hard to argue against him.
His sarcasm benefits him in this role.
Go back to saturday night live.
SNL plain sucks.
Universal Single Payer Haelthcare now!
Ralph Nader/Mike Gravel 2012!
I actually think everyone is laughing at Norm Coleman.
What a stupid analogy.
this man is a hero

Explain what is so hilarious?
Al Franken’s hilarious. This idiot actually takes himself seriously while all those around him are laughing at this fool.
Good points. There is only one thing I disagree with. He is wrong that this will avert a catastrophe. The catastrophe is already here. Over 44,000 people die a year because they lack money to pay for health care. The two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused a total of about 6,000 American deaths in 7 years or about 900 deaths per year.The American capitalists who run the insurance companies are 50 times more deadly to Americans than the so-called Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Fuck this lying ass hole, he lost his election,should not be there to even vote.
I didn’t know how good a Senator Franken would be, but he looks now to be very good & is always well-read on the subjects.
Let me guess you think that Acorn stole the election for Obama right. lol.
This is the comedian guy right ? Cause he’s fucking hilarious !
Franken is my senator, a pile of crap. His ties to Acorn may cause his recall.
Go Get em Al, you’re a hero!
420% increase in 8 years!
nicely done, Senator Franken!
UHC CEO Stephen Hemsley has $745 MILLION in stock options. 2007 pay $13.2mil; 2008 $3.2 mil.
CIGNA CEO Edward Hanway made $120mil in last 5yrs. Stock options = $28mil.
Humana CEO Michael McCallister’s made $10.3mil in 07. $1,017,308 in 08. Stock options = $60mil.
LARGEST GOLDEN PARACHUTE in history of corporate America goes to William McGuire of UnitedHealth 1.4 BILLION DOLLARS!
How many DENIED procedures does that take?
BLOOD MONEY!
The more I hear from Franken, the more I like him. He is an intelligent, well-informed man. The State of Minnesota is well-served by his being in the Senate, as is the entire nation.
Thanksgiving is coming up. One thing I’ll be thankful for is that we have pro-American liberals like Sen. Franken fighting for us.
@SvenKarrak
Yes, I comment on conservatives like you- with the intelligence level of a can of sardines.
Do you do anything other than troll videos and make retarded statements?
We have 60!
Wepublicans heads are exploding across America.Conservatives have the intellect of a bedpan.
