TWIN CITIES DAILY PLANET: “ISN’T IT IRONIC: TIME FOR AL FRANKEN TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | May 29, 2008
“I have a confession to make.
I never expected that the first boot to drop on Al Franken’s vanity campaign for U.S. Senate would concern his tax returns. I was anticipating something more along the lines of the dirt currently being circulated about the ‘Porn-o-Rama’ column he penned for Playboy back in 2000.
I haven’t read the columns in question so can pass no judgment on whether they are obscene and misogynistic, as the GOP is claiming. But let’s face it. The words ‘Playboy Magazine,’ ‘Porn-o-Rama’ and ‘credible U.S. Senate candidate’ don’t mix together well in the same sentence, even if, as Franken apologists claim, the columns were intended as satire.
But then, maybe it’s Franken’s candidacy that is intended as satire. After all, the man is a master of deadpan irony. A genius, in fact. Just ask him. Unfortunately, if the DFL goes ahead, as it seems intent on doing, and endorses this guy, the joke will be on the party.” Source: Twin Cities Daily Planet, May 29, 2008

“’Al Franken is a funny man,’ begins the ABC News Report on Franken’s Porn-o-Rama Playboy problems. That’s debatable. What really isn’t funny is the prospect of six more years of Norm Coleman in the U.S. Senate, an eventuality Franken’s narcissism is bringing a little closer every day.
Say goodnight, Al. Time to take your bows and exit stage left.” Source: Twin Cities Daily Planet, May 29, 2008

What the F is the Twin Cities Daily Planet?
I overheard a guy in the grocery store suggesting that he thought Franken should drop as well. Perhaps you should write an overblown piece about that as well.

Wow. THe TCDP is a local online news site that gets a lot of traffic among inner city urban lefty types. I would say it’s sort of an online version of The Patriot for liberals. To see it turn on Franken is quite shocking, especially I bet to the DFL grand control who forced aside Ciresi and Pallmeyer.
