Al Franken as a US Senator


First of all, he is from Minnesota, and you have to say that with a Minnesota accent. yah sure. Second, he has been married to the same woman his entire adult life. Third, he is fiscally conservative, did not support Pres. Obama's bailout (he though GM should sink, likewise AIG, the whole rotten mess). He supports our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan (has entertained them on numerous occasions). He wants to be a voice to replace Sen. Wellstone, who was a liberal. But Franken is not predictable, will vote with Democrats, but has publically said he will keep low profile, seen but not heard since he has the least seniority of any senator (he is last senator from 2008 election to be inaugurated). He says he has a lot to learn. He needs to prove he is intelligent, solid Democrat to his own party, and prove that he can work with Republicans (even though he wrote a book entitled "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot," which he is, and the book was very funny).
