My name is Senatorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Rock!!!

[bref]

Fun fact: Caitlyn Jenner is also thinking of running for senate.

Looks like Republicans are the "celebrity" party now.

A transgender republican senator?

 

[irish_thug]

Inb4 he wins and mandates whale tail into the dress code for his female staffers

Come on. That has to be the one conservative policy you could get behind.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

Damnit.... i thought this was going to be The Rock.

Oh well...

[Lord Commander Palis]

Oh lord, Palis

Spoiler

The Rock/Kid Rock 2020
"Make America ROCK again!"

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

I remember years ago I was watching a Kid Rock behind the music and he had this black girlfriend that got pregnant. His boys basically had to step in like a year into the kids life to convince him that it wasn't his because it was too dark. Turned out to by a Maury situation. Is that too much of a cuck to win over the republican base?

Definitely close to cucklord status. I don't think i could support something so beta.

 

[Philo-Publius]

No.

Fuck that.
He's an idiot, and being a Senator isn't some damned game

 

[Rational Poster]

No.

Bachelor of Arts...not a law degree...

 

[hillelslovak87]

Born in 1971, still calls himself Kid, and has mastered the Bret Michaels strategy in order to cover up baldness.

Your point?

He majored in GOVERNMENT.

Do you not understand that many majors fall under the Arts degree?

Government is considered a "liberal art"

Per usual, you are full of shit. He majored in "General Studies."

Al Franken and Tom Davis (1952-2012) went to the same private high school in Minneapolis, and later worked in Brave New Workshop, a satirical theater group. Franken graduated from Harvard with a degree in general studies, and continued doing comedy on the side. Franken & Davis eventually brought their comedy act to New York, where they were spotted by Lorne Michaels, who hired them to write for a new show he was planning for NBC, Saturday Night Live.

I got mine from Wikipedia, yours is some site I've never seen and looks like it's from 1999.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Al-Franken

The encyclopedia says he majored in political science.

 

[Cake4Breakfast]

Did he sample from other more talented senate candidates for that poster, like he did for all of his hits?

"Dude, I will mix Warren Zevon and Lynard Skynard and the redneck potheads will think I'm a musical genius."

Harvard magazine also confirms "General Studies."

It was almost inevitable that Blake’s Jewish wrestler and honor student glided into Harvard, graduating cum laude in general studies. But his real field of concentration was comedy. In Minneapolis, he’d worked up an act—some improvisation, some sketch comedy—with his Blake classmate Tom Davis. By Franken’s senior year at Harvard, Davis was sleeping on his couch.

Well, it seems pretty obvious no matter your source he was a pretty exceptional student at Harvard.

Is that a bad thing to graduate in the top25% of your class at Harvard?

Is that better or worse than being born with a silver spoon like Kid Rock and still not managing to go to any college?

"General Studies" = no professional direction. Plus, some people have gotten into Ivy League schools by doing some pretty unorthodox things. I am doubtful Franken has contributed much in the way of authoring new legislation.

Sponsoring or co-sponsoring a bill is basically the equivalent of seconding a motion. That is not the same as authoring legislation.
