Comedian Al Franken grabbed the Democratic nomination Tuesday for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, setting up a showdown with Republican Sen. Norm Coleman that had been years in the making.
Franken, who gained fame as a "Saturday Night Live" cast member, easily beat six other candidates chasing the Democratic nod. Coleman trounced his only opponent, an expatriate living in Italy.

It’s embarrassing that a self-important, obscene clown like Al Franken could be a serious candidate for any office, let alone the U.S. Senate.

Why do have this continual sinking feeling that Norm hired Mark Kennedy’s ad writing team?

He does it every couple of years.
It he were to return and run in person, he’d be arrested. I can’t remember what he’s wanted for.....

Jesse Ventura is a model of dignity and decorum compared to Al Franken.

The Democrats seem determined to lift every turd they can find in the bottom of the toilet, and put them in office...
What the Hell have they been smoking?
Have they aborted all their children, so care nothing for the future?

You’d think the Ventura party would take votes from Franken not Coleman.
