What a great resume...comedian best known for an obnoxious character named Stuart Smalley and the founder of an unsuccessful radio network which squandered millions and was involved in embezzlement charges. Sounds about right for a US Senator.

Franken sets Feb. 14 as last day on radio but promises a 'sort of valentine'

You and Air Communist going off the air is valentine enough! Your humiliating loss in a Senate bid would be a Great Thanksgiving present.

The people in Minnesota put al-Ellison in the Congress, I no longer trust them to do the right thing.

I just read that there was a bid on the table which would have made Air America solvent but it wasn't accepted because Franken is leaving. Has to be for a political bid.

Franken will do for America what he did for Air America.

No doubt with a personal visit to all three of them.

I only managed to dip into Franken show a couple of times,
both for a couple minutes. One time someone called in and
congratulated him on calling his show the O'Franken Factor
and Al replied that he was thinking of calling it FrankenSense
and Myrth, and then started telling a boring story about a concert his kids went to; then, just after the '04 election,
he had a conspiracy theorist on talking about how the election had been stolen. Franken's voice sounded like someone who'd been woken up in the middle of the night. Maybe it was a rough week for Al, who'd been hoping for a victory party in
Boston, but then I realized that's how he always sounded
on radio.

Just like MA who keeps re-elected in Kennedy and Kerry...

btw I was on a moonbat messageboard for laughs and people
were saying just as well he was leaving-- as they were
tired of his shtick, same old jokes, same old routines.
When even the moonbats tire of you, that says something.
