U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-MN, will keynote the 2010 Jefferson-Jackson Dinner at the Richmond Convention Center.
Klobuchar, who became the first elected female senator from Minnesota in 2006, is following a string of political heavyweights who have delivered the keynote at the Virginia Democratic Party’s annual fundraising dinner in recent years. Former President Bill Clinton spoke in 2009 and then-presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008.
Thousands of Democrats from around the state will flock to the convention center on March 20 for the party, which was postponed this year until after the legislative session ends. The General Assembly session is scheduled to adjourn on Saturday.
Klobuchar, by the way, is expected to bring the funny.
Politico calls her “bring-down-the-house funny.” And in a statement, U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner said Klobuchar is not only “a great partner with me in the Senate on issues,” but “she also happens to be one of the funniest people in the Senate, and I can’t wait to hear her message to Virginia Democrats.”
Nobody consulted with our Democratic rank and file on this selection.
With many of our citizens out of work and still more having given-up ever having a decent job again, I don’t think a funny Senator is what any of us would have invited.
What will her routine be like?
“Oh, have you noticed? Our free trade policies and absurd environmental and workplace laws have driven corporations to ship all of your jobs to Communist China!” (Ha-Ha!)
“Your kids will never get out of debt and will probably have to sell their body parts just to pay the new health insurance premiums.” (Ha-Ha-Ha!)
Yeah, what a riot the Senator will be. Kind of like, Marie Antoinette, making fun of the French peasants as they starved.
