Video: Franken cuts off Lieberman, puts McCain in snit

Minnesota’s junior U.S. senator, Al Franken, got to take a turn in the President of the Senate’s chair yesterday, and he made himself a YouTube hit with cheering Democratic blogs and jeering Republican ones when he cut off Connecticut Sen. (and former Democrat turned independent) Joe Lieberman during a Senate floor debate on health care yesterday. This in turn brought Arizona Sen. John McCain to his feet to decry the erosion of “comity” in the country’s most exclusive political club.

Politico has more on the kerfuffle, and here’s the video.
