In the last few months, I've gotten a flood of emails from readers suggesting stories about Al Franken and his follies. This vein could be a rich one to mine, given Franken's years of motor-mouthing on Saturday Night Live and Air America Radio, and his collisions with taxing authorities across the country.
But I've let the Franken stories blow by, overwhelmed by their number. However, things changed last week when Franken's 2000 Playboy article -- "Porn-O-Rama" -- got stuck in my e-mail filter.
I know what you're thinking: Kersten's got one of those prudish, Jerry Falwell-style family filters designed to snare anything that would raise a slight pink on your grandmother's cheeks. Not so. Mine seems to screen primarily ads for male enhancement products and overly creative animal films.
Why then did my e-mail filter crash closed on Porn-O-Rama?
In his Playboy romp, Franken fantasized about oral sex delivered by a machine, as well as sex with combinations of females who fit the Playboy view of women as big-breasted automatons, panting at the prospect of servicing the likes of Franken. That's why they call it fantasy, I guess.
I wonder how many DFL officials will be able to pull Porn-O-Rama through their Internet filters and read it before the party endorses its candidate for U.S. Senate this weekend. I wonder, too, whether folks like Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Attorney General Lori Swanson, whose campaigns took money in 2006 from Franken's so-called Midwest Values PAC (yes, you read that right) will feel compelled to return those bucks on truth-in-advertising grounds.

The idea that there is a single adult human in America (who is not Al Franken or Al Franken’s mother) willing to vote for this roid-raging retarded braying jackass is astonishing.
Plenty, the same idiot’s who will be voting for Obama in November.
Unfortunately, as Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Obama illustrate, there are millions of those type of voters.
Son: ( sigh ) Yes, Dad, that's right.
Dad: So what were you doing with it?
Son: Dad, I swear, I wasn't reading the articles! I was only looking at the pictures!
I caught him being interviewed on some show and all he would say about this was “It was satire. I’m a satarist”. He refused to offer any explaination beyond this. He used the standard tactic of the left, to keep repeating the same answer over and over. “I’m a satarist”.” The interviewer let him get away with it.
“Midwest Values” - that some new oxymoron?
“Stuart Smalley” will end badly, just as he feared...overweight, broke, alcoholic and alone. Not even a droid will touch him. Maybe Randi Rhodes will send him a card.

Put barack curious george mcgovern at the top of the ticket and that’s one less Senate seat we have to worry about.
Al Franken is, after all, as the book title says, “A buck toothed moron.”
We shouldn’t be too surprised that the adolescent sexual fantasies of one of the least attractive people on the planet turn out to be unattractive. Let’s face it, though, the entry requirements of the U.S. Senate with respect to propriety are a sort of low bar to have to leap. But Franken can manage to fail that test, I have faith.
Satire is supposed to be funny.
When I think satire, I think Jonathan Swift, Aristophanes, The Onion, Parker and Stone, or our own John Semmens.
If Franken’s a satirist, he’s not a very good one.
There are accounts that Franken is a strong, little guy who is prone to bullying and ambush attacks. IIRC, he is a former high school and collegiate wrestler.
Obviously, he is not in peak condition today, but he likely would not be a weak, little toad.
My cousin is working for his campaign. I asked her how she can take him seriously, and she goes into a rant about Norm Coleman. To be honest, I can’t stand Coleman either and probably won’t vote for him, but I sure as heck am not gonna vote for that clown Franken.
Here’s one such interview he did this week......

No, but from my experience, “Southern Hospitality” is.
I’ve seen him walking around his movie set with his little headphones of, looking muy importante like a little Napoleon. Ugh.
