Looking forward to seeing him in the senate. Hope he exposes all the" pious idiots."

Al Franken

I don't know much about him as a comedian, but he is a joke !

newsman

the statement in the story "when asked if a comedian had ever been elected a senator. She couldn't name one to our Katherine Skiba". .......maybe not a comedian but it appears a number of clowns occupy both houses...

Murphy's "observer"

The observer who "said" "We can't expect America to win against its foes without someone in the Senate who can really tap his toes" wasTom Lehrer, and he didn't say it. He sang it. Didn't US nEWs notice that it rhymes?

Al Franken's Senate Bid

Watch out behind you Al. Jesse is coming up fast.
