Vice President Biden: Al Franken Is A ‘Leading Legal Scholar’ – Washington Examiner
Vice President Joe Biden described former Saturday Night Live comedian, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., as a “leading legal scholar,” presumably in the Senate, today.
……..
“He has been one of the leading legal scholars,” Biden said of Franken today, according to the pool report. He also said that Franken “is deadly serious” as a senator. He made the comments while recalling concerns that then-candidate Franken could not be taken seriously as a Senate candidate given his SNL work.
Franken’s comedic spirit got him in trouble on Washington. “This isn’t ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al,” Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had to remind the freshman senator after Franken made faces while McConnell spoke during the Supreme Court nomination process for Elena Kagan.
Kagan is now regarded as an able defender of Obamacare, which could be struck after oral arguments last month seemed to indicate that five of the nine justices regard it as unconstitutional.

Compared to Biden, most folks are leading legal scholars
Most?
Politics just doesn’t get much funnier than this.
If Stuart Smalley is a ‘legal scholar’,then I’m an astronaut with degrees in both nuclear physics & aeronautical engineering.
I’m guessing you’re neither an astronaut nor a university-level scholar… and that you probably couldn’t even do basic algebra if somebody put a gun to your head. Uh, not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you. You’re probably remarkably adept at solving the daily jumble puzzle in your local newspaper or something like that.
Just so you know, I don’t believe that I could solve basic algebraic equations either – after all these years – even if somebody put a gun to MY head. However, I’m a freakin’ genius when it comes to creative problem solving generally… and I also do funny voices.
basic math is no problem,I can build,repair or restore most anything from wood with ease though.Whether a fine antique furniture piece or a small building or barn.And normal small engine repair/maintenance I’m pretty comfortable with.Just dont ask me any calculus,speak to me in the Austrian language or tell me there’s just 50 states when we all know there’s 57 with uhmmm 2 more to go lol
