I think Franken is an artist.. He's a satirist - he has a long career as one - he's a political thinker - a comedian - a superb communicator - and a clear incisive, thoughtful man. He has a bit of a Benjamin Franklin twinkle in his eye. He has command of the English language and he's not afraid to express his own opinion. Comedy itself is a high art that requires an incisiveness and honesty that very few of our senators can muster. I say things are better for his being there.

Al is a hack and has always been a hack. I would be totally shocked if he gets the idea that there is a certain decorum necessary to be effective in the Senate. Kudos if he gets it. I would just be shocked. You don’t really think of Al Franken as an artist do you? Al is a hack and has always been a hack.
