Contractors *DO* (did) have immunity, dumbshit.

Look it up. Unless you're too stupid to do so.

 EH> Franken is a joke and so are you.

Franken is one of the best senators in the Senate, but Norm Coleman
tried any and every stunt to keep him out.

Do I like Franken's comedy? No.

But he has you *LOSERS* throwing temper tantrums, without using his
comedic skills.

Now go whine to your cult gurus who molest little kids.
