AL FRANKEN ON LETTERMAN
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 28, 2007
I'm staying up way past my bedtime to watch Al Franken on David Letterman's show. Check back later tonight for my thoughts on Franken's appearance.
UPDATE: Al Franken spent almost five minutes of his appearance talking about how the Republicans in Minnesota were using his jokes against him. Franken specifically mentioned Chairman Ron Carey's press conference held on the day he announced his campaign. You know Franken's campaign is in trouble when he has to go on Letterman's show to explain old jokes. Franken may be raising money from Hollywood liberals, but it's clear his campaign is becoming consumed by the reaction to his anger and his slash and burn partisan attacks.

Is it possible to go any farther out of your way to take cheap shots? Mike Hatch lost because he’s an asshole, Mike Hatch has nothing on Al Franken.

He got his predictable Ventura and Bush cheap shot in, good for the amature.

Al’s not scared of being in Iraq, but he has no trouble throwing his wife under the bus. Hey Mister Hatch, why is your new name Al Franken?

Amature, eh? Might wanna check the spelling on that.

AL FRANKEN ON LETTERMAN

When does Norm go on Letterman?

How do you report the in-kind contribution from Letterman on the FEC reports?
And if Al was paid to go on the show…….

Norm was on the Daily Show during the Democratic Convention in ‘04 shilling for Bush. And Norm (pot) was talking about Kerry (kettle) flip-flopping (black). Check for that in-kind contribution as well.

This is truly pathetic. It’s like when Randy Moss would only do interviews with ESPN because he was afraid of talking to a reporter who actually ask legitimate questions and hold him accountable for his actions. Al Franken is typical liberal coward…The DFL has fallen a long ways from Paul Wellstone if this stiff and Mike Ciresi are the best they can come up with.

I thought for a second Al was going to plug MDE.
I stayed up way too late as well. Al did a pretty good job I thought.
Unlike Mike Hatch, Al will get the votes of Minnesota Democrats in a general election.

People will really vote for Al Franken? Wow.
Otter, I find myself agreeing with you. (Shutter)

Don’t anyone dare tell any negative truths about not-so-funny Al Franken.
Because Chris will be sure to stop by and call you a Nazi anti-semitic jew hater if you do. That’s the way debate works in a nation “which is defined by our commitment to Israel(Norm Coleman).”

The difference is between Hatch and Franken is that DFL’ers will definitely vote for him. Pawlenty comes off as a very good politician and hasnt done anything MN would truely disagree with.
Coleman voting with Bush like 95% of the time, problematic. Him recently voting against the war spending bill because of a pull out date, problematic.
All the DFL has to do is paint Coleman as the conservative Republican that he is and then do some good damage control on Franken’s past and it is easy sailing to election.
