Actors seem to make pretty good politicians. Why do I know who Al Franken is? I do. Just don't know why.

Because Franken and Davis "opened up" for the Grateful Dead on that same video where they caught Henry Kissenger bootlegging the concert?

It didn't work out very well in the case of Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger Clint Eastwood, or Jesse Ventura. Who were you thinking of? Gopher from the love boat? Sonny Bono?

None of these people were very good actors or politicians.

I for one welcome the lizard people as our Minnesotan overlords.

I wonder if Obama actually wants Franken in the Senate. Based on his radio nonsense our potential Minnesota overlord is just the sort of touch hole who will send partisanship over the moon.
