Just Another Nut….
…in the mix of Dhimmicrats. Yeah, he’ll fit right in.
Al Franken announces his plans to run for senate in 2008; and I mean why not?
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Al Franken announced Wednesday that he will run for the Senate in 2008, making it clear that the comedian and author of “Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot” wants to be taken seriously as a political figure.
Franken said he would seek the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and immediately acknowledged the doubts voters may have about electing a former “Saturday Night Live” performer.
“Minnesotans have a right to be skeptical about whether I’m ready for this challenge, and to wonder how seriously I would take the responsibility that I’m asking you to give me,” Franken said in a video on his Web site.
“I want you to know: Nothing means more to me than making government work better for the working families of this state, and over the next 20 months, I look forward to proving to you that I take these issues seriously,” he said.
It only makes sense. Yes, he’ll fit right in on that side of the hill up there in D.C. Hell, at least he’s going to try and do something he believes in, I reckon. Where’s Jeanine Garofalo, George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, John Mellencamp, and those damned ole 5-grammys-up-their-butts-Dipsy Chix?
Refreshing! That is what Al Franken is, what, with putting his money where his mouth is campaign. Yeah, that’s right, I’m cheering him on! You go big Al - go get ‘em in Capitol Hill.
Damn, I think I just talked myself into supporting his efforts. Hmmm…
Hey Al, I do believe you have a good chance of getting this job. Isn’t Minnesota the state that hired Jesse Ventura for Governor? Yeah.
