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."

Ben you have stayed too long in Hollywood.
Franken will be nothing but a wart on Dingy Reids ass.
Ben - he is an anal pore of the highest degree.
yep! it is contagious
I’ve met Stein. He’s admitidly very liberal, except economics. Still, either pretty disappointing, or like some of us, we have friends that are liberal, and we can still get along very well.
Politics aside, I don’t care for Franken’s lack of class or poor decorum.
In other words, he’s a perfect match for these people who have destroyed my party.
Ben Stein is dead to me
He gave a friend of 30yrs 2G’s....he didn’t marry him! Ben’s still OK with me!
The Ferris Buhler tape has just been burned.
smart liberal = oxymoron
LOL!
No, for many years he was a very good guy. He apparently has let a long friendship with an old lefty cloud his judgement. Honestly, it is a crying shame.
agreed
agreed
He’s a disappointment to me also. And goner too.
Any one else starting to feel like the “conservative movement” was just one giant practical joke that the elites pulled on us fly-over-country hicks?
Maybe we are just the unknowing stars in a 30-year-long movie entitled “Fool Them Once . . . “
Good Bye, Ben.
It’s one thing to give money to an old friend. It’s quite another to say nice things about a jerk like Franken and to let your name be used to promote him. Ben, you are goofy.
