LIBERAL MINNESOTA BLOGGER: “DOES FRANKEN GET IT?”

By Michael B. Brodkorb | May 23, 2008

Franken’s Playboy mansion fundraiser this week is more problematic. Many have defended Playboy as a fairly non-offensive smut magazine. I thought so too before my friendly discussion. My friend unlocked some parental controls on their television and pulled up Playboy TV.

Apparently, there is some pretty tawdry stuff at Playboy TV, including a “reality TV show” called Foursome in which couples, um…hook up. My friend went on to describe some other explicit programming. We’re naive to think that Playboy is merely a magazine now. Look at the TV show ‘Girls Next Door’.

Playboy [is] a pornography empire.

“Franken’s tax problems, satire, and other political missteps will impact his chances in November. Mike Ciresi, who left the US Senate race 2 months ago, trailed Franken by 1% in a recent poll?

Jack Nelson Pallmeyer is peaking at the right time. Beyond his progressive values and his work in the US Senate race, JNP has dominated in debates. He’s fully capable of defeating Norm Coleman in November, if given the opportunity.

This Playboy thing really bugs me. It really makes me question whether or not Franken really ‘gets it’?” Source: Blue man in a Red district, May 23, 2008

    “A Franken fundraiser at a Chicago Playboy mansion is tough to swallow for a progressive, feminist Democrat.”

    I imagine that particular fundraiser is rather proud of himself.

    The venues for the advertising of the Playboy Jazz Festival might be tougher swallows for a number of Minnesotans.
