Actually he's doing a great job so far. Do you know anything about his politics or stances on issues? Or just hate him because he's liberal? I mean, I'm liberal, but I like a ton of conservatives based upon their records and stances.
Do you actually think he knows anything about laws and the constitution?
Non of these politicians. Look at the people who write the taxes!!!! Everybody all of a sudden forgot or didn't even fallow the very own tax laws they wrote.
Well, any more than say... Ronald Regan? Politicians don't have to be experts on everything, they have to have sound judgment and an intrinsically honest nature. They make decisions based on the facts that experts in respective fields present. The principal doesn't have to know more math than the math teacher to be an excellent administrator.
@informationauth My dear, if you are going to make a comment deriding others as stupid, your point will seem more persuasive if you use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation. It kind of casts a shadow of a doubt on your credibilty when you use cumbersome, inarticulate language like 'makes look bad'. I can see how you'd be sensitive about people making fun of Bush, you seem to have a lot in common with him.
how about reagan's acting background? or how about his failed stint as governor of california...where he left the state is so much debt is still stuffers today?
Al Franken, Michael Moore, Bill Maher...Three mediocre comedians who take themselves far too seriously as politicians. Dealing with hecklers is their only experience at debate. They are all immature ass-hats.
There's nothing funny about Al Franken. His writing for SNL was some of the worst material the show ever did - real sleepers. The audience clapped wildly only because the torturous skit was finally over. He's an angry little putz who shouldn't be trusted with political responsibility.
What drives me crazy is the fact that most people who hate Franken do so just for the fact that he's a liberal who makes fun of conservatives. Either that or they don't understand the meaning of his satire. And also, for anyone saying that he's not funny or not a good comedian, that one ad was just quick, cheap humor that could fit in Letterman's show. Not to mention his work with SNL (as a writer, mostly), his books, and his radio show.
Let's stick to facts, folks, he didn't fail at TV (hugely successful writer during SNL glory years), his radio show WAS successful (the network filed for bankruptcy, not his show), beating Limbaugh and other cons in the ratings in several markets. He's smarter than most and knows the issues...
You've been trolling Youtube for months now. Don't you think it's finally time to give it a break? I'm really starting the question the quality of life of a boy who makes a profile for the express purpose of trolling and uses it everyday for 7 months.
if you are or have read this comment then you are cursed for life. You will have a terrible life and never get married (if you are already married you will get divorced). Only way to undo this curse is if you comment 5 videos with this exact message
Al franken is one of the few respectable pundits out there, he prides himself in being factually accurate, he rarely erupts in a screaming fit when he's arguing with someone like most right wing pundits, his political roots are based upon the personal experience of his parents having to raise 5 kids after his father died, welfare barely go them through. He's been involved with politics for many many years and he's more then qualified
He was a lousy comedian, and would probably make a lousy Senator. Like most of his ilk, he has a lot of criticisms, but no constructive suggestions. What a jerk.
Wow. That's pathetic. Jesse the Body, anyone? Nothing better than reaffirming you're a complete and thorough joke, Minnesota. Bush is a putz but Franken never makes you believe he's anywhere above that exact level.
Franken should run. Just not for office. He should run and keep running all the way to the Kremlin or The MEXICAN BORDER. They'll love over there. AYA! CHIWAWA!!! HAHAAAAA OHHHH MISSSTER FRANKENNN YOU SO FUNYE!!!!
Did ANYONE manage to watch "air Areica" for more than fifteen minutes without not wantting to put this pinhead out of his misery? It would be a mercy killing!!! I laugh more when I masterbate with a cheese grater!
I would not call him a comedian, he hasn't been funny since Saturday Night Live in the 70's. I guess he has nothing else to do since AirAmerica went down in flames. Hey maybe George Soros can donate to his campaign and lose more money on him.
Al Franken is quite possibly one of the only individuals who is valued for his failures rather than his accomplishments. I don't know how he did it, but I'm taking notes. I want to get rich and famous off failure.
If protecting people's civil rights, helping people live better lives, and saving people in disasters makes people like Franken, Penn, and Clooney losers we need more losers in America! And Fewer winner, war mongers like GW!
His ridiculous glasses make him look like a fool. It doesnt matter who you Americans vote in, you had 3 chances not to elect the idiot Bush, and you kept voting him in. So vote for who you like, I for one will be waiting to critisise your choice regardless of who your next president is.
good luck Al... read your books and if what you wrote is a glimpse of what you wish to employ as a politician, then the future of the nation is bright indeed.
The problem with Franken -- he's not funny as a comedian. They needn't defend his craft since his defining moment as an entertainer was playing a gorilla in Eddie Murphy's, "Coming to America." Perhaps his public-policy and leadership experience stems from owning a dog? Spare of Albert - Air America is a perfect fit. Out of sight, out of mind and out of range.
Not nearly as good as it could have been. Al Franken's running for Senate and all you got is Bush doing slapslick as your punchline? Write some more inventive comedy.
Al Franken can make a good Senator or President. It takes intelligence, wisdom about human emotions and a sense of giving to the people to have a sense of humor. Besides he is a political comedian -- it's like a movie critic becoming a movie director/producer.
If his principles and values are those that will elevate the United States and has the courage to get stand up to the Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, Big Oil and King Coal then he will be good statesman.
