This is great!

Hours of soundbytes from his Air America liberal diatribes will make FANTASTIC campaign-ad fodder for Sen. Coleman!

Pass me that popcorn!

""Minnesotans have a right to be skeptical about whether I'm ready for this challenge, and to wonder how seriously I would take the responsibility that I'm asking you to give me,..."

"I'm losing track.

Which sign of the Apocalypse is this?"


I think its at the Third Seal:

'Lo, and thus will the Vermin emerge from the Sewer and converse with them who were Mad and with the Deluded and thereafter became their Prince and Master.....'

Great--just what the Senate needs: an obnoxious, pugnacious comedian. Isn't Jim Webb enough?

I don't doubt you, especially after they voted in Jesse "The Body" for Governor.
I hope Al's many jokes about his cocaine use become common knowledge on the campaign trail.
Him and Osama Obama can do lines in their gas guzzling Gulfstreams while calling Bush an alcoholic and Rush a drug addict.

Well, he's probably as intelligent as Barbara Boxer.

His opponents should use this as a campaign poster to show how loathsome, weird and pathetic this narcissistic ego maniac is.

If they will elect Jesse Ventura as a Governor, they will elect this idiot too.

I guess that since he's out of a job after Air America failed, he's gotta look elsewhere.

New people to cheat, new organizations to bankrupt.

Wait, I thought the 80's were The Decade of Me, Al Franken.

He wants a whole nother decade now?

"Maybe Franken is a perfect fit for most of the Minnesota voters"

Only the voters in the Twin Cities and "Da Range". Most of the rest of the state is pretty conservative. Where I live even the Democrats are anti-abortion, anti-gun control, anti-illegal alien and anti-big government. Rudy would be considered far left by even the Democrats.

Jane Curtin: Well, the 1970's are in their final month, and with some thoughts on this decade and the one we're about to enter, here's Weekend Update's Social Sciences Editor Al Franken.

Al Franken: Thank you, Jane. Well, the "me" decade is almost over, and good riddance, and far as I'm concerned. The 70's were simply 10 years of people thinking of nothing but themselves. No wonder we were unable to get together and solve any of the many serious problems facing our nation. Oh sure, some people did do some positive things in the 70's - like jogging - but always for the wrong reasons, for their own selfish, personal benefit. Well, I believe the 80's are gonna have to be different. I think that people are going to stop thinking about themselves, and start thinking about me, Al Franken. That's right. I believe we're entering what I like to call the Al Franken Decade. Oh, for me, Al Franken, the 80's will be pretty much the same as the 70's. I'll still be thinking of me, Al Franken. But for you, you'll be thinking more about how things affect me, Al Franken. When you see a news report, you'll be thinking, "I wonder what Al Franken thinks about this thing?", "I wonder how this inflation thing is hurting Al Franken?" And you women will be thinking, "What can I wear that will please Al Franken?", or "What can I not wear?" You know, I know a lot of you out there are thinking, "Why Al Franken?" Well, because I thought of it, and I'm on TV, so I've already gotten the jump on you. So, I say let's leave behind the fragmented, selfish 70's, and go into the 80's with a unity and purpose. That's what I think. I'm Al Franken. Jane?

"I want you to know: nothing means more to me than making government work better for the working families of this state, and over the next 20 months I look forward to proving to you that I take these issues seriously,''

TRANSLATION - I have no experience whatsoever.
