Goddamn, how much did taxpayers pay that worthless POS groping liberal to do nothing???

He won a rigged election by 300 votes.

Dems will just another Demonrat from MN in the Senate, it's not like Franken will be replaced by a Republican.

1. The author of the piece uses a 2014 article for the 141 figure. So fail right there.

2. Doesn't mention most of the time he was there, the GOP held the "do nothing" majority.

3. From the 214 article the slimy op-edder used: Al Franken’s record, sized up – Twin Cities

"Getting a real read on Franken’s record — or any senator’s record — isn’t easy, said Steve Smith, professor of social sciences and political science at Washington University in St. Louis.

“This is probably a more difficult time to evaluate a legislative record in the Senate than I’ve seen in 50 years. The total output of the Congress is so exceptionally low, because of the deep divide between the House and the Senate, that the leaders of both parties — let alone rank-and-file members like Franken — have largely given up on pressing forward with major legislation.
...
“I think that sometimes you can get a provision in a bill that has tremendous effect,” he said.

The prime example is a bill he introduced in September 2009 requiring at least 90 percent of health insurance premiums to be spent on claims and improving the quality of care. That provision, with a slightly lower percentage, was incorporated into the Affordable Care Act.

This was the signature achievement of his term, said Kathryn Pearson, an associate professor of political science at the University of Minnesota.

“Having a major piece of legislation in the (Affordable Care Act) is a significant accomplishment and especially at the time for a first-term senator,” she said.

Franken got a national diabetes prevention program into the ACA as well.

And included in the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act were two provisions he authored..."
=========
He did indeed have some laws passed, even with the wretched current POS GOP congress
(and cosponsored 452 bills and resolutions, top three of all senators)

Don't bother. The tards bleev what they are told to bleev, and parrot what they are told to parrot.
