The Only Way It Could Get Worse Is If Franken Was A Mime

Aelfheld of Gall and Wormwood fame, sent me the following note:

I understand that Minnesota property values are poised to plunge to levels not seen since the Great Depression on news that Al Franken "has purchased a home in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, gearing up for a potential 2008 Senate run."

Let me know what I can do to help.

After I stop laughing.

Dear Aelfheld: I only wish I had been able to offer similar comfort when your state Democratic legislators went into hiding at a Holiday Inn to avoid doing their jobs.  We'll never run out of material, will we?

Jesse Ventura, Mark Dayton, Al Franken...It's too bad the Minnesota state quarter has already been minted.  We could change it to a picture of Uncle Sam bent over in laughter with our new slogan, "The Laughingstock State."

The problem wasn't when the Texas Democrats skipped town - it was when they came back.

Given Franken's propensity for mixing it up with other people (Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham's producer, defenseless senior citizens), I can say I would make a better senator than Franken, and that's saying a lot.
