Here is a so-called comedian trying to be taken seriously as a political commentator. What if, for example, Curly of The Three Stooges made such a career move, do you think he would be taken seriously? Of course Franken is not much of a comedian anyway, he kinda acts like a drugged out, brain dead type, and the nerdy look has been done to death. He's a wannabe comedian and politcal commentator and unsuccessful at both.
You just described his entire listening audience. Well, except for the 50 year old guy with long gray hair pulled back into a ponytail and a raggedy sweatshirt that has a big green marijuana leaf on it. The rolled up copy of "High Times" is optional.
"Here is a so-called comedian trying to be taken seriously as a political commentator. "
Jackie Mason subs on "conservative" radio WABC 770 in New York. He's not bad at all.
Howard Stern has been OK with political comments occasionally.
Franken even scores a few points by pointing out conservative mistakes. He's unlistenable because he rarely has anything positive or constructive to say.
