Interesting, really. I don't recall ever seeing any slam-piece regarding Al Franken and his wife's battles with alcoholism, originating from conservative attacks. I can only speculate that conservatives, on policy, find it unproductive and cowardly to resort to personal attacks and slams of that nature.

I also recall vividly the evening that Clinton's mother passed away, and how Rush -- on tv broad cast -- publicly extended his condolences to the Clinton family, saying that his firmly-entrenched political views would never prevent him from sympathizing with others in pain.

Libs could take a lesson or two from this guy. But I won't hold my breath.

That's because our Rush has class and the libs/dems don't even know how to spell it much less have it.

That would be the same Al Franken, who as a head writer at SNL, would have been involved in writing/approval process of the Chris Farley "motivational speaker" sketches '..living in a van, down by the river.' all the while Farley was having a major RECREATIONAL drug problem, that he ultimately died from.

If Al wants to see real hypocracy, he need to take a clue from another of his sketches (Stuart Smalley) and take a look in the mirror.
