The political blogosphere was slightly atwitter Wednesday with a rumor that Al Franken might make an announcement next week about a 2008 run in Minnesota for the U.S. Senate. The speculation was spurred by Franken's comments Tuesday to CNN's Lou Dobbs that he and his family would be "deciding" the matter over the Thanksgiving weekend.

His campaign slogan would have to be something like, "Vote for me because I am neither Rush Limbaugh nor Bill O'Reilly. And you know how much I hate those guys - and you should too!"
Otherwise, he would have very little name recognition. :)

That's about as silly as the Viqueens thinking that had a decent football team this year.

Franken's ambitions aren't taken seriously because there's nothing in his background that makes people believe otherwise--AND THAT'S OK.

Al Franken? The washed-up old SNL guy? The guy who stopped being funny and therefore went from being a "comedian" to being a "satirist"? The guy Alan Colmes decked at a dinner?
Yep, sounds like the ideal candidate for the scumbag Democrats.

Do you think he can get Bill O'Reilly to work his campaign?

The local Air America channels must be looking forward to campaign advertising revenues from Mr. Franken.

Another moronic standup comedian as a U.S. Senator. Sounds like he'll fit right in. Maybe he can help Hanoi Boi work on his delivery.
