Some years back on the Sunday morning talk show This Week, then private citizen Al Franken defended comments made by Bill Maher's at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, remarks that caused an uproar and cost Maher his show Politically Incorrect. As you may recall, ABC brought the hammer down on Maher (rightfully so) for suggesting that somehow it was 'cowardly' to use overwhelming firepower on the taliban. Mr. Franken either agrees with this idea or at least understands what Maher meant. (What? The Arab street would like us more if US troops went toe to toe with the taliban and not drop any bombs at all, putting the lives of our the troops at even greater risk? I don't get the reasoning behind that.)
So Minnesota, do you really want somebody who thinks that way representing you in The United States Senate? I'll tell you what I think. I think Franken wants the late Senator Paul Wellstone's old seat so he can wiggle around in it and make funny faces.
Like the old school gambler once said to me, "What a comedian."
