AL FRANKEN: IN HIS OWN WORDS (Pretended to kill baby as a joke)
Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live ^ | July 12, 2008 | Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller

Amongst similar anecdotes:

Franken Pretends To Kill New Born Daughter At Baby Shower.

"AL FRANKEN: My wife came with her sister first and I was going to bring the baby. My other sister-in-law came with me. So I got a doll the exact size of the baby and swaddled it - I told Franny I was going to do this - and there's like thirty women, and I walk in and they're all going like, 'Ohhh . . . ahhhh,' and I was walking in and I hit the baby's head on this piece of furniture and I go up in the air and I come down with everything, everything, going into this doll, so that there is no way I didn't kill the baby. And the screams, the screams!

TOM DAVIS: The scream that came out of these women, it just made everyone's hair stand on end. They just witnessed this man kill his newborn baby. To this day, I've never heard a more terrifying sound than all those women witnessing this baby being killed by its father.

AL FRANKEN: And then my sister-in-law Carla walks in with the real baby."

(Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller, "Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live, as Told By Its Stars, Writers and Guests," 2002, pp. 157-158)

I don't recall this getting any mention when the SNL book came out. Seems to say more about the candidate then the Playboy story does.

That is one SICK MAN! I’m sure the shrinks have lots of nice names for a man who pretends to kill his own baby.

Can we pretend to kill Al as a joke? You know, except for the pretending part?

Aaahhhh, Al! You got me, you old goat. Hahaha With the baby, and the falling, and the head hitting. Good one.

Good Lord. And this is their representative that Conservatives don’t have a sense of humor? Do me a favor folks and stay unfunny.

I think the cultural divide is between those who believe that some things are sacred and those who think that nothing is sacred. Everything follows from this.

How in the name of G** have we gotten to the point where a self-glorifying moron like this jackass is famous, rich, and has a chance to be a senator?

Then support his return to SNL.

But don't support an assclown like this to be a senator.

No, funny is the screams of the bride and her mother as she watches me drop the wedding cake box and fall on top of it. She didn’t know we had taken the cake out already. Talk about screams.

Now that was funny.

Baby hitting head and dying, not funny.

I was walking in and I hit the baby's head on this piece of furniture

As much as I despise this worm, I think that was a pretty funny prank and would have loved to be on site to watch......

Sick humor, yea but so was Mr. Bill and Mr. Hand.

That Franken would even think of doing this stunt, and then carry it through, shows he is so full of rage he would kill his own child. Soulless.

The hilarious part is, that Franken's friends are all hard core pro-choice Democrats, so you have a situation where it is OK to kill a kid, just not in front of them though...

Most leftist funnymen have a common characteristic. They have a cruel streak and a desire to hurt innocent people.

One day someone will play a trick on him. If and when they do, the fury and vituperation that will follow, will surprise.
