It probably was something meant to be funny- being blown out of proportion. Franken was a COMEDIAN after all. So the public knew exactly what they were voting for BEFORE he got to office. Plus I remember when Al Franken used to be a frequent commentator on AMY GOODMAN's- Democaracy Now Show- where he openly expressed his POLITICAL VIEWS of FLOODING THIS COUNTRY with IMMIGRANTS...... Comedian or Not- I could never vote for a grown adult man who put this image of himself out to the PUBLIC....

This is a Washington DC Congressman- Come On People- This Is Supposed to Be AMERICA - ONCE The Greatest Nation On Planet EARTH- & you send this to CONGRESS?????
