Al Franken as a senator? Why not?

He's no crazier than some we have already.

Democrat Al Franken’s past work again complicated his present bid to become a U.S. senator, when Republicans on Thursday circulated 13-year-old quotes of him joking about rape while co-writing a skit for Saturday Night Live. His opponent issued a statement late Thursday night saying that while Franken was making a career out of “degrading and humiliating jokes,” he was prosecuting rapists in the Minnesota attorney general’s office, working with advocates for battered women as St. Paul’s mayor, and earning support in the Senate from advocates of rape and incest victims. “Al Franken is not living in the real world if he thinks the hurt he has caused real people throughout his career with jokes about rape and pornography isn’t cause for real concern among real Minnesotans,” Coleman said.
