You know come to think of it, and I truly mean this in as much of a "non partisan" purely objective way that I can manage, I really don't think Al is funny or bright. I didn't think the guy was funny before I heard that he's a liberal. Some people used to chuckle at the Stewart Smiley skits, I honestly never though much off them. I don't know if they were ever intended to be, but I never thought that they were "laugh out loud" funny. Speaking as objectively as I can, I don't think Frankin is really funny.
I also don't think Frankin is very bright. Again, I am being as objective as possible. When Scalia verbally back handed Al, I'll bet that Al really didn't get it.

Actually Franken, who went to Harvard on a math scholarship, is fairly bright....just not in matters concerning reason and logic. In short he's like most libs. I have a very liberal, viscerally Bush-hating brother-in-law who works for a major corporation and is an expert in financial matters. As would be expected, he did very well in math-related subjects throughout his academic career.
However if you had to listen to him rant, after he's had a few drinks (and often after he hasn't had a few drinks), you might assume that he was an uneducated moron. He gets everything wrong and is afflicted by the common liberal conceit that they are automatically smarter than any conservative. For instance he thinks that universities are controlled by conservatives. He is normally a very nice person... but also a very ignorant one...like most libs when they talk about politics or social matters.

Somehow I don't believe Justice Scalia said it for Franken to "get it".
It was simply to relate to those, with some intellect, that Al was a loud mouth moron that is still "not ready for prime time".
