"SNL Part II: On The Air", from the paragraph titled "High Times":

"... One of SNL's early masterpieces , a sketch called "The Final Days" that chronicles Nixon's downfall, was written by writers Al Franken and Tom Davis while they were on LSD. ... But it was just this kind of humor that made Saturday Night so popular with the youth culture."

Many voters in Minnisota must have participated in the same sort of "chemical exercises" to believe Franken would represent them well... or maybe they just want to escape reality.

Acid makes you stupid. Case in point: Al Franken.

Actually it can induce schizophrenia. Case in point: Al Franken...

[Army Air Corps]

Imagine Franken having a flashback on the Senate floor.

[null and void]

In that parliament of fools who would notice?

[pbear8]

OK, I misread the headline, I thought Al became Mormon.

[null and void]

Close. He became a moron.

“Why do you think they call it dope?” *ping*

I have nothing against people who have tried LSD. That being said, I resent those on the Democrat side who try to create an alternate reality by manufacturing vote after vote just because they are liberals and think that they have the Machiavellian right to do so. Machiavelli cuts both ways.

Ah ha! I guess that would be a ‘flashback’.

"Imagine Franken having a flashback on the Senate floor."

Under the current leadership they'd probably give him a committee chairmanship - Ways and Means or Judiciary.

[henbane]

Al trips out to many places after an acid drop.

Here's one of his journeys into la-la-land.

Will Franken be able to keep what is left of his mind on the Nation's legislative business?

Is that the photo he uses for online dating services?

[there are lots of “alternate ya-yas” to be gotten, out there]....;]

The famous Al Franken-Spiro Agnew story in Tom Shale’s book “Live From New York” (Source: http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=ySMXLky50NkC&dq=live+from+new+york+tom+shales&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=iLRQrEQ9ww&sig=0jWb_k346HlyHhZCl6JOJJkW5w4&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPT186,M1). Al Franken’s thought-process and MO have never changed, nor has his keen ability to get the facts correct. Franken is a legend in his own deluded mind.

---

Al Franken on Al Franken: “I heard Spiro Agnew was going to be on Tom Snyder’s show so I just wanted to meet him and harass him a little...I sat down in the next make up chair as he was getting made up and I said something like, ‘You called student protesters bums and aren’t you the bum...because you took money?’ And he just said, ‘I never called them bums. That was Nixon.’ [Franken says he fumbled with a tape recording that never worked and looked stupid] ...And then I also felt stupid because I checked it out and I was wrong: Nixon had called students bums. At least I got to say to Agnew that he was a bum.”

Lorne Michaels on Al Franken: “When Al went down to the F’ing sixth floor to berate Spiro Agnew, Chevy [Michael] O’ Donohue and I were like, ‘Al, what F’ are you doing?’ Al took the ‘nattering nabob’ speech personally...The people that made the most noise about artistic integrity were the first to buy the Mercedes, and the more people railed about things when you examine their lives 25 years later—well you know.”

IMO, Al Franken has a certain reputation among his peers and former friends that is unflattering. Unfortunately, the real Franken is pushed aside by panting liberals because “he’s their spokesman against Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly, and Fox.” But deep down in the dark reeaches of every reporter’s mind is the nagging truth that Franken is a likable soul. Franken is the Michael Moore of writers—he sucks at the craft but he can hurt careers because he’s connected politically. As a writer, an actor, and as a human being Franken is a laughing stock. And drugs didn’t help broaden his capacity to care and love nor did the twelve step programs.

I truly feel sorry for Minnesota residents and the people of the United States if Franken steals the election. And oddly I feel sorry for the DNC. Why? Just read the Shales book; you’ll wish you never gave him power.

MEant to say...deep down in the reaches of reporters mind...Franken is an unlikeable soul...

Imagine Franken having a flashback on the Senate floor.


Would it be anything like Senator Byrd's speeches? I swear the man is tripping on prescription meds and dementia.

When Sen. Byrd wears green, he could be the spokesman for McDonald's Shamrock Shakes.

Know a few people that dropped copious amounts of acid and now suffer from severe OCD, tourettes syndrome, and various paranoid schizoid episodes.

It’s unnerving and not fun to be around. Plus their view of the world is so altered from reality that they have episoded where they can’t handle simple problems. In short they panic and make Matterhorns out of ant hills.

Good times.

[Army Air Corps]

And people in Minnesota want such a person to represent them in the Senate. Lovely.
