The folks at NewsMax launched their response to Al Franken's announcement that he was running for Coleman's Senate seat with the same sort of wit as exhibited (and panned) on the sample of Fux's 1/2 Hour News Hour.
Hoping to reprise such classics as 'Kerry, the dishonorable hero' (SwiftLiars, 2006), their offering consists primarily of quotes from either his many books or his show. Most lines leave me wondering why that line was worthy of mention, like:
"When you encounter seemingly good advice that contradicts other seemingly good advice, ignore them both."
— Franken's book "Oh, the Things I Know"
"No child left behind is the most ironically named piece of legislation since the 1942 Japanese Family Leave Act."
— speech at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2003
"There's no liberal echo chamber in this country. There's a right-wing echo chamber. I want to create a countervailing echo chamber."
— interview with the Chicago Tribune

And such is the conservative grasp of irony and hypocrisy.
