I read all three of his books.

Like you say:

Al thought we should be fighting back against this Fascist bullshit.

And then, out of nowhere, when Welstone was gone in the plane crash a repub sombitch took over his Senate seat....Al came unto the national stage and won.

And he won by so little of a majority he had to wait six frickin months to take his rightful seat.

Of course, six years later, Al won again.

I love this guy and I always have and always will.

I already know that he has carried on the traditions of Gene and Hubert and Walter.

I like Al Franken. I met him

I like Al Franken. I met him when I was an NBC page working on SNL back around 1975 or so. He and his partner, Tom Davis, were writers. I seem to remember Al was wearing his Wrestling letter sweater from Minnesota. I think one of Al Franken's greatest contributions will always be how he sustained so many Progressives when things were looking particularly bleak. "Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot", was the first effective comedic punch-back to the GOP Media Propaganda machine which had been eviscerating and mocking Liberals for years. When he first ran for office, I even donated a small amount to his campaign. (Which, considering my financial status was a big deal. LOL) But that means I now get emails from him all the time asking for money. Even so, I want more politicians like Al Franken.
