Biden added a special meeting to his schedule today: VPOTUS will huddle up with "Mr. Al Franken" before his ...

... dinner with Karzai and Zardari, his office announced. Biden is meeting with Al Franken to show the Obama administration is behind him, a senior White House official said.

"We want to show our support for Franken," the official wrote in an e-mail to POLITICO. "The process in Minnesota has been characteristically bipartisan, transparent and meticulous. Every ruling has been unanimous. We look forward to the state Supreme Court issuing its final ruling, after which we’ll be able to work with Franken in the Senate on the pressing issues facing Minnesota and the country.


Oh to have been a fly on the wall in that meeting....

1. Both Franken and Biden are suppose to issue statements later today.

3. Good..can't

wait:bounce:

[Cha]

2. Thank you, VP Biden for the support!

Poor Al..he looks like he could use a day at the Spa.

Specter needs to make a one on one apology to Al Franken soon to be Senator Al Franken.

And, I'd like to have been a spidey on that wall:)

5. A spidey spying on Bidey.

Sorry - I couldn't resist :P

On edit - can you imagine a conversation between those two? I bet they were laughing their arses off.

9. I'll bet they exchanged some dynamite material. (not that Joe's routines need any help)

ON EDIT - Happy to be Rec #5!!

4. Good. It's nice to see someone high up in the administration speaking publicly about this

enough is enough, already! It's time to seat Franken. He did win the election after all...

And one has to wonder if this meeting was planned before Arlen's f-up in that Times interview. Maybe his ridiculous statement had a silver lining and was a catalyst for the White House to finally get actively involved in ending Coleman's BS and hopeless stonewalling.

6. I'm just glad this administration is giving Franken support.

7. This is really good news!

From a distance, it has seemed that Al has been kind of on his own. I am really glad that Joe has taken him under his wing, so to speak.

Thanks for the heads-up! :hi:

8. Good

Seat Senator Franken!

10. Big smile :)

I can't wait for Al's first appearance on 'Meet The Press'!

[jillan]

14. Lol - I can't wait for that and to hear his first speech on the Senate floor.
