Readymade headlines: Franken caught lying about _________;
Dems BLAST Bush about ______________; Undocumented Worker at large for (fill in the blank crime). What else am I missing??
Yeah, Franken has made a career out of using the dumb-funny-silly personna useful to proliferate quite seriously offensive content. Meaning, he seems to fool enough people often enough that he's just a comedian, while using a certain comedic personna to deliver quite intense and irrational political content. I'm glad to read that more and more conservatives see and easily through his ruse. And it is a ruse.
Franken's entire career reminds me of the "Captain Howdy" demon from "The Exorcist": start off like an entertaining friend to the disenfranchised and lonely and then the hook is set.
