Senator Al Franken

From Breitbart.com:

Comedian Al Franken has decided to run for U.S. Senate in Minnesota in challenging incumbent Republican Norm Coleman, a senior Democratic official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

This could be fun. Unlike most loud-mouthed Bush-bashers, Mr Franken has a sense of humour. His books on US politics are hilariously written, although the fact checks may not always be thoroughly done.

In interesting thing related to Mr Franken is his unfortunate icon status in leftist circles in Europe. In Sweden, his books are published by Ordfront, a communist organisation best known for their defence of Slobodan Milošević’s genocide in Srebrenica. I’m not sure he would be very pleased if he knew what interests profit from his books.
