What are they trying to say?
I'm sure they justify these comments by saying, "Well, the terrorists do it!"
Or Al Franken will run up and tackle you from behind while Janeane Garafalo slaps you sooooo hard!
This "press release" has Franken all over it. It's not in the least bit funny, while it strains mightily at something approaching "humor". Its got a strong whiff of girly-man macho bravado. And, its got an even stronger odor of desparation.
Either that or that Morford creature ghost wrote it from his cave at the SFGate.
