He's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it, people like him. (republicans not included) Al Franken is the secret love child of Malcolm X and Marilyn Monroe.
He and Obama attended a Madrassa togther.
But Franken was kicked out for making too many jokes.
When asked for comment, he noted “This can only be bad for me, Al Franken.”
The republicans need to face it. He's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it, people like him. (republicans not included)

But Al Franken was always a tempting target, which means he'll just continue serving that function. So you'll continue to hear Limbaugh make comments about Franken for the next 6 years, which will make the 10-20 percent of the country who listens to or agrees with Limbaugh laugh. But that's about it. When right-wingers say that he'll be a “very tempting target” they mean for people like Rush Limbaugh and his audience.

Weigel won't even call the state of HI to either get confirmation or – like me – to fail to get confirmation:
