Poor old Mitchy needed a waambulance today as Al Franken apparently made faces from the dais (the President's Desk in front of the Senate Floor) as McConnell was speaking. Franken was presiding over the Senate at the time.
Mitch McConnell was so distaught he scolded Franken after his speech and told him this was not Saturday Night Live.

McConnell grew increasingly angry as Franken made fun of him before a crowded public gallery and Senate aides lining the chamber walls. Senate aides said they were shocked that Franken would flout the decorum of the chamber during such a solemn occasion.
After McConnell finished his remarks, he walked up to the dais and rebuked him.
"This is not 'Saturday Night Live,' Al," McConnell said, making reference to Franken’s career as a writer and actor on NBC’s long-running comedy show, according to a witness who overheard the exchange.
Too bad there is no video of the event. Al Franken apologized to McConnell afterwards.
