WASHINGTON - Comedian Al Franken has decided to run for the Senate in Minnesota in 2008, a senior Democratic official from Minnesota said Wednesday.

[Artemis Webb]

Liberal state. He'll win easily.

[cripplecreek]

Good. It will be a nice way to put the nutjob out there on display

[Clara Lou]

Let's see if Minnesota is in the mood for a proven loser.

[EagleUSA]

This must be a joke. Are the libs really THAT stupid ??

[dinoparty]

How will this man be able to fake the appearance of civility that is prevelant in the Senate?

[SandRat]

From which state?

The State of Dementia
The State of Delusion
The State of Denial
The State of Insanity
The State of Confusion
The State of Ignorance

??????

"Liberal state. He'll win easily.

I wouldn't be so sure. Coleman is a good candidate, unless he turns left to offset Franken's far left. I just hate it when a republican tries to out liberal a liberal.

No matter what, it should be fun to watch.

[Artemis Webb]

Remember MN is so far to the left that they don't even have a "Democratic Party". It is known as the DFL (Democrat-Farm-Labor).

[Ieatfrijoles]

Leaving AA on Feb.14. It takes a big man to step down when he's at the top. We salute you Frank.

[BenLurkin]

He's supposed to be a comedian but I don't recall ever seeing him do anything funny or hearing him say anything funny.

Can you be a comedian and not be funny?

[Fresh Wind]

Well, that's the first time in years that he's done something that is actually funny.

[Proudcongal]

Now that makes for a good laugh!

[unkus]

The more these people are exposed as Democrats, the better.

[CaptRon]

This might be the only really funny thing that Franken has ever done.

[Hildy]

His resume is of a comedian best known for a nerdy character named Stuart Smalley and the founder/operator of a failed radio network accused of embezzling millions of dollars. Wait..that's a perfect resume for a modern US Senator.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Run AIR-HEAD AMERICA into the ground......next, run for Senate.

With the quality of individuals that we have on the Hill now, why should we be surprised?

[Anti-Bubba182]

Jesse Ventura and now this!

"How will this man be able to fake the appearance of civility that is prevalent in the Senate?"

A Senate that tolerates a Ted Kennedy in its midst will not care one whit about the clownish acts this one will perform once he gets in. (Is there any doubt that MN will elect this one if he makes it through the primary?)

[Artemis Webb]

I agree that Coleman is a good candidate. He's a good man and a good senator. But the only reason he won was because the funeral for Paul Wellstone turned into a circus. I just don't expect a repeat performance in what is otherwise a safe Democratic seat.
