| Description | With debate winding down on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, and freshman Sen. Al Franken presiding, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor Thursday afternoon to deliver his closing statement against confirmation.
One GOP staffer described Franken as “murmuring under his breath, shaking his head, chortling, gasping, and turning around in his chair.”
McConnell, fuming at the end of his remarks, walked up to Franken and said “This isn’t Saturday Night Live, Al,” – a not-so-subtle reference to Franken’s show business past, when he played the fictional self-help guru Stuart Smalley. |
