Al Franken...is this for real?
AL FRANKEN FOR U.S. SENATE
Is this already being discussed somewhere on the Cellar? If not, why not?

Huh?
Well, I'll be damned. I didn't know that. We had Cooter, and Gopher, and Sonny, and Fred Thompson. I guess Al can try it too. |

Sure, he's got the time. It's not like Air America really needs him these days.

and to be fair he was never a great comedian anyway. Maybe he can do better at this.

A senator from Minnesota? That seems a really unlikely state, to me. I don't know why.

Maybe he figures the voters of Minnesota are looking for somebody to restore the balance lost to Paul Wellstone's untimely death.

Wellstone is his inspiration, and he's looking to replace Norm Coleman, who was elected when Wellstone died.

Funny, I think I would trust a comedian more than a politician any day.
I haven't heard much about him running since the last time it was in the news, I forget when that was. |

Actors seem to make pretty good politicians. Why do I know who Al Franken is? I do. Just don't know why.

Because Franken and Davis "opened up" for the Grateful Dead on that same video where they caught Henry Kissenger bootlegging the concert?

It didn't work out very well in the case of Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger Clint Eastwood, or Jesse Ventura. Who were you thinking of? Gopher from the love boat? Sonny Bono? None of these people were very good actors or politicians.

I for one welcome the lizard people as our Minnesotan overlords.

I wonder if Obama actually wants Franken in the Senate. Based on his radio nonsense our potential Minnesota overlord is just the sort of touch hole who will send partisanship over the moon.
