No Senate Run for Al Franken - Boo Hoo!

today liberal comedian and radio talk show host Al Franken announced he would not seek a senate seat in 2006. i'm sure America is relieved.

Franken is best know recently as the author of "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot", as well as a barely listened to radio personality on the Air America network.

but Franken came to fame as a comedian and once worked and wrote for, among other things, Saturday Night Live. his books pull no punches in his disdain for Republicans and others like minded. his recent attacks have included Fox News Channel and one of it's hosts Bill O'Reilly. obviously the spat between O'Reilly and Franken sold lots of books for both, but would anyone take this guy seriously as a senator?

sure we had Sonny Bono and now Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Al Franken has about as much creditability as Hillary Clinton on Health Care and Education. he has taken the party line of calling President Bush a liar to new heights, and just down right attacked people like O'Reilly and Limbaugh.

but, the American people have spoken. Air America is on life support, and no one's listening. i'm sure his people told him no one would be voting.
