NATIONAL REVIEW PICKS UP STORY ABOUT FRANKEN MOCKING STUDENT AT CARLETON
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 14, 2008
"And here’s one of the best parts of the story — it is the final line of the article: 'Fritz’s version of the encounter was backed up by Pablo Kenney, prez of the Carleton Dems.' Good for Pablo Kenney.
According to the above, Franken badgered and mocked a student — imitated a physical tic, imitated his way of speaking. And then refused to shake his hand. This is stunning. Franken is almost 60 years old. He went to a campus, met a conservative kid, who apparently behaved graciously (“Well, at least it’s nice to meet you”). Civilized people simply don’t behave this way.
What if a famous conservative figure had done this to a liberal kid?
As I said, the story kind of shook me up. I always thought Franken was sort of likable, whatever his political views. I used to enjoy him on television. Perhaps I am making too much of this. And I know he’s a comedian. But: His behavior at Carleton College struck me as kind of monstrous." Source: National Review, March 14, 2008
