Frankly I'd pay to see some of Al's cutting humor leveled at some of this his colleagues. It could help the public get involved in the proceedings.
Imagine if SENATOR Al Franken questioned someone like Bill O'Reily or Rush Limbaugh at a senate hearing! C-Span would get huge ratings.
Senator Franken: Mr. Limbaugh, you're not nearly as fat or as much of liar under oath, bully!
Rush Limbaugh: Why thank you Senator Franken, I appreciate that.
Senator Franken: You better buddy because now we're going to shred your butt now, you freakin' drug felon!
Okay, I'll settle for an effective Democratic senator but anyone that can say, "I'm the New York Jew who actually grew up in Minnesota", has to be revered for his wit. Lets hope he stick around and get to the age where he once again says what he thinks.
