He's funny...and a liberal, too.

Took a while. But finally, the U.S. Senate has a professional comedian. Satirist Al Franken. Really, many of the senators are comedians. Amateurs. They're funny without even trying to be funny. Franken will be sworn in next week as the junior senator from Minnesota, eight months after the election. The election was so darn close it took all that time to recount and for loser Norm Coleman to exhaust the multiple appeals process. Finally, today the Minnesota Supreme Court declared Franken the winner by 312 votes, out of about 3 million votes cast. I'm happy over the outcome. Not only because Franken is funny. He's a liberal, too. And the author of a book titled, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot." -Jim Broede
