Lorne Michaels isn't the writer here. If you're not politically correct, you're history.
What`s it gonna take to wipe that smile out of your face? I`m being serious here!
Reid: "You're new around here, Franken – so serious up and leave the comedy to the real stars... Like Wilson and that clown with the open mike in California! We've got work to do around here!"
Lets settle this with a draw the fifty states contest.
In the most calming tone Al Franken says "I thank you for your passion", we need to have more of these conversations, but get your hands off of me and get out of my face, NOW!!!!

Are those flakes on you shoulder?

Franken: (WOW! I guess they do get riled up).....hahaha!!!!!
You're late Franken! So, wipe that smile off your face and get to work.

Are you the turkey that ate my turkey sandwich?
Only you can prevent forest fires!
"Hey Franken, it must be this that has got Joe Wilson all excited for some reason as all I hear him yelling around here tonight is 'NEW TIE!"
Reid tells Franken: "It's because you are good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, People like you!"

"...A bipartisan tie for only $9.99? YOU LIE!"
"Are you sure you are a senator? I could have sworn I have seen you on TV before..."
Sen. Harry Reid urges some guy named Stuart Smalley (at left) to dispense with that annoying "Sen. Al Franken" character.
You're young enough to be my intern… er…son.
Hahaha Harry responds, "But don't screw it up!"
To quote Lisa, "You're out of shape, Al. I'll kick your ass."
Reid: He says he going to point his finger like this, and yell something.
You got that right Harry!, and for that I give you a free copy of my book "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot."
