#4 So I guess Franken will help keep the nutcases away from the President the next time he makes a public appearance?

BTW -- WTF is a "neocon rally"?

#8 Al must not have wanted to hear Dean sing the national anthem again.

#9 Al's been trying to goad one of the National Review guys into a fistfight. Now he's tackling people. Its all part of his attempt to prove that liberals aren't wimps.

I can't help but wonder how big this heckler was. I imagine he looked something like Saved By the Bell's Screech or Al wouldn't have risked mixing it up.

#10 time for a personal injury lawsuit - maybe Edwards would be willing to take the case.

#11 Maybe he's just been working out with Joe Piscapo and was overcome with roid-rage.

#12 WTF is a "neocon rally"?
Anytime a Conservative group/people gets together. Examples: Recall Davis Rally, President Bush Fundraiser, Gov. Schwarzenegger Rally, Two Conservatives talking at Starbucks, etc.

#13 Why isn't he in jail right now?

#14 Um, that was a Lyndon LaRouche flack. Anyone who hasn't been tempted to knock one of them down probably is one too.

Does anyone remember Robert Stack walking through the airport in Airplane? Yes, that's how I feel too. Okay, Franken shouldn't have done it, but it is an understandable impulse.

#15 Sounds like he's trying to get some free publicity for his upcoming radio show.

#16 Assault, yes, but Franken vs. a La Rouche guy in a straight fight? I can't decide.

Only if he doesn't go....

#18 Unconfirmed Rumor: just heard on the Hugh Hewitt radio program (reported by a caller) that the guy tackled from behind by Franken was 63 (!!!) years old. Hewitt speculates the only reason Franken isn't under arrest is because he is Al Franken.

#19 According to Rich Lowry (NR editor), he was trying to goad Al Franken into a fight while Franken simultaneously sent "I'll macho-man you out" and "don't hurt me" signals, citing age and a poor back. It may have been Lowry's own machismo, but he spent a disproportionate amount of the article on that, if not making it the whole point ...

#20 al-Franken is a lying liar.

#21 If Al Franken can kick your ass, you might as well go home and die.
