THE DNC SHOULD CHOOSE BETTER FRIENDS

Everyone who's ever heard of "comedian" Al Franken knows where he stands politically. He's a lib--no big deal. But he's a special kind of lib and a special kind of "comedian" in that he gets to sub-host on Crossfire and gets lots of calls to go on those other annoying shout shows on cable. He writes lousy books, tells less than funny jokes and generally makes a jerk of himself on a regular basis.

Ok, most of that is just my opinion. It's my blog--you did come here for my opinion, right?

Well anyway, Franken's Lying Liars and the Lying Lying Pants A-Flying Chickens A-Frying Liars Who Lying Lying Tell Them (I may not have that title exactly right, but I'm close) book is now not only available at your local brick and mortar or cyber bookstore--no siree, you also can get it by donating a princely sum to the Democratic National Committee. That's right--fork over some cash to the people who want even more of your cash in the form of taxes, and they'll send you a book by a "comedian."

That "comedian" is one weird guy though. Henry Hanks has compiled a handy list of Franken's more, um, interesting moments. Like when he challenged NRO's Rich Lowry to a fist fight (interesting that he didn't challenge Jonah Goldberg, who's about 6'2"). Or when he went on an obscenity-laced rant against Republicans at a Chucklehead Dean fundraiser. And how about the time he wouldn't let CNN cut away to a break because what he, the "comedian," had to say was just soooo important it couldn't wait for the other side of another Flobee commercial. Or when he sent a letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft under false pretenses. The list of this maniac's odd, eccentric and downright bizarre behavior goes on...and Hanks has it. Check it out.

Then ask yourself: Should the DNC really associate itself with such a sociopathic moron?
