The morons at Fox News are suing Franken for using the words "fair and balanced" in the subtitle of his book. That alone convinced me to put in a pre-order at Amazon.

"Franken is neither a journalist nor a television news personality," according to the complaint. "He is not a well-respected voice in American politics; rather, he appears to be shrill and unstable. His views lack any serious depth or insight."

They got his description dead on, though.

"Al Franken: Desperately Seeking a New Career"

Hmmm..Who do I believe is more trustworthy...

The president of the United States...

Or a no talent, Saturday Night Live Hack who knows how to type...

Christ, the guy does not even deserve the title "Humorist".

Don't you have to be funny to be a humorist?

Maybe "Antagonist" or "Whinysqueakist".

Oh wait...I've got it.."Irritant".

Al Franken is hilarious!

Too bad the Republiclowns don't have a sense of humor.

We have a great sense of humor.

We knew Bill Clinton was a joke, and got 8 years of laughs from his zany antics.

Now stop kidding around and nominate someone we can vote for in '04.

So true, banana. Even parody and satire are lost on them.

Yep, Republicans just don't laugh. They prevent funding for school lunch programs and as a matter of fact, they eat children at any given opportunity!

Their humor is very, very different from yours...but look whos laughing now, you PUTZ!

Franken is about as funny as a a case of testicular cancer.

That guy sucks as a quality human being so he has to try some other way. He is truly a creation of the quality/honesty vacuume created by the Klinton Regime.

HAHA, that's a good one.

Hey Rip, now that you Repubs have control of the government, why don't you *do* something with it?

Al Franken was funny when he used to do his remote newscasts on SNL's Weekend Update.

I think John Stewart is a much more annoying Democratic wannabe-funny mouthpiece though. He turned a really funny show into a pathetic POS trying to get laughs from the same boring political **** every night.

Raub, not to hijack this thread, but what does D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F.? mean?

Franken was never funny. He did more to destroy SNL than any other living human being.
