Despite Franken's long history in the entertainment industry, you don't see him hogging the spotlight, do you? He's not out there running to the cameras to get attention. In fact, you hardly ever see him. Know why? It's because he's doing the work. A lot of what's involved (or what's supposed to BE involved) with being a representative or a Senator is immersing yourself in the issues. That means reading and educating yourself. That means briefing books, and reports, and numbers, and summaries of reports which include evidence, and numbers, and comparisons, and cost-benefit analyses. It's pretty dry and boring stuff.
Meanwhile, men like Cruz, who just so happens to be one of the new darlings of the right, run around making noise and trying to get attention like a stripper with a new boob job. Cruz is like the Dennis Rodman of the Senate.

Prominent Harvard Prof. Alan Dershowitz’s Comments About Ted Cruz Could Help His 2016 Chances
Apr. 7, 2014 11:03am
Prominent Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz offered words of praise for former student Ted Cruz in a new
interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer:
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas): “Off-the-charts brilliant. And you know, liberals make the terrible mistake, including some of my friends and colleagues, of thinking that all conservatives are dumb.
And I think one of the reasons that conservatives have been beating liberals in the courts and in public debates is because we underestimate them.
Never underestimate Ted Cruz.
He is off-the-chart brilliant. I don’t agree with his politics.”
But the retiring Dershowitz couldn’t similarly evaluate another Harvard Law alumnus:
There was also the Harvard Law student who couldn’t get into a Dershowitz class despite multiple attempts: Barack Obama.
“Twice because the computer kept him out,” Dershowitz said. “It wasn’t my fault.”

Mustang, you are known by the silly comments you make and the disreputable company you keep.
Ewwww!
no the blasé is not bias at all :
OUR MISSION
We believe Americans seek information, truth, and empowerment.
We believe Americans want to put principles above politics.
We believe that America was built on hard work, and that capitalism has lifted more people out of squalor, sickness, and slavery than any other system.
As a company we strive to do as Jefferson said: Question with boldness, hold to the truth, and speak without fear.
We do not color in the lines, nor play by the rules established by either of the parties or by the media that has empowered them with distortion.
We never treat our viewers or readers like idiots. We respect their desire to be informed so they can be useful and effective citizens.
We are not interested in left and right. We seek answers to right and wrong.
We are more than a media company. We are a community, a gathering place, and a source for inspiration & education. Our goal is to educate, empower, engage and entertain.
The Blaze is a verb. We are action. We are restoration.
We are proud to be Americans. We believe hard work is the foundation of a great country and a great company. We are driven by our values: faith, family, ingenuity, respect, and truth.
As a country and a company we recognize that we will get it wrong from time to time, but we’ll boldly correct our mistakes, learn from them, and come back stronger.
We answer to God and you. We ask for your feedback, your ideas, and your questions. Only through mutual respect and dialogue can we grow and build for the future.
Laus Deo
