DFL U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken got a welcome boost on Wednesday with an endorsement from one of the more revered figures in the Democratic Party -- former Vice President Al Gore.

Calling Franken one of the party's "hardest working activists," Gore saluted what he said were Franken's "sharp wit and strong convictions." In a nod to the unconventionality of Franken's candidacy, Gore said the entertainer/author "definitely won't be your typical Washington politician ... .

Franken is no comedian, and Gore is no authority on anything.

Gore... warmly praised Franken, calling him "exactly the breath of fresh air our government needs."Warm praise causes glaciers to melt and polar bears to die, Al. And fresh air contains the deadly gas, CO2.

I didn't know the rabbit hole was so large; however, I am beginning to see that the whole country, if not the world has taken a fall with Alice into wonderland.
However, did we get people like Kerry, Pelosi, Murtha, Chuckie S., Obama, etc. in positions of power and policy making? Their antics read like the Mad Hatter's tea party.
It is fitting for Kerry to endorse Franken; they are cut from the same cloth--John is just a little richer--or married a little more advantageously.
