WASHINGTON (AP) — Liberal Al Franken is good enough and smart enough to win some of conservative Ben Stein's money — and doggone it, Stein likes him.
Stein, an actor, writer and economist, has contributed $2,000 to Franken's Minnesota Senate campaign. The two men have known each other for about 30 years.
"I'm struck by what an incredibly capable, hard-working guy he is," Stein told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday. "He's a very smart liberal, he's a thoroughgoing patriot, and I would feel better with him in the Senate."

Puke.....I want to PUKE.....I thought Ben Stein had some sense. WRONG.
I have liberal friends. I would never give them money if they ran for office. Only a fool would do that.
very liberal? so why did he get this

“Ben Stein promotes the sanctity of human life everywhere he goes and is particularly effective when he speaks to college students at campuses across the country.”
Well, he is pro-life. He speaks for free for college pro-life groups.
it doesn’t make any sense!
That makes 2 people I've scratched off my good list this week:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry
Ben Stein
A fool or a fraud
From Wiki:
“A frequent writer, Ben Stein has authored books on several topics, including economics. He writes a regular column in the conservative magazine The American Spectator. He has also written for numerous publications including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Penthouse, Los Angeles Magazine and Barron’s Magazine, where his discussion of the Michael Milken Drexel Burnham Lambert junk bond situation, as well as the ethical dimensions of management buyouts, attracted heavy US national attention in the 1980s and 1990s.
He currently writes a regular column for the Sunday New York Times Business Section and for Yahoo! Finance online.”
What ever respect I had for Ben Stein just went to ZERO!
Look like Ben Stein is now Ben Over...sad
I have no problem with Stein donating to a friend’s campaign for the Senate, the test is, would Al Franken donate to a “Ben Stein for Senate” campaign. I doubt it.
Well look at that. Ben Stein jumped the shark.
Ben Stein - Gag me with a fork!
Good Bye, Ben..........................
LiberalSmog claims another senior citizen.
Ben just decided to act on the only lines that really make sense to everyone except WASPS: blood lines. Franken and Stein are Jewish. I hate to say it. It’s funny—one the one hand any WASP who helps a fellow WASP because he’s a WASP is a racist.
Any WASP who points out that a Jewish guy just helped another Jewish guy because he’s Jewish is ALSO a bigot.
I lose coming and going.
What a shame.
Yep, Stein has officially gone to the dark side. And, by the way, his economic predictions are not as perfect as his confidence would imply.
I mean the guy hosts a show on VH1 now called America’s Smartest Model. It is total crap..Ben...you are dead to me now.
First his opposition to our efforts in Iraq, now this - Ben’s slipping fast......
