Al Franken: Producing
built 657 days ago
Al Franken is a victim. He has been unwittingly duped into believing that he is profound. He is the Johnny Huang of the left. It started with his success as a comedian. He was pretty funny as the SNL one man satellite hook up guy and did a pretty good job in Trading Places. Once the success went to his head, he started to believe his own press.

Sidestepping the cut-basketball issue, Franken still has a wrestler's build, but more to the point he has kept his grappler's mentality. As he enters the Palace Theater, 860 defiant Dean supporters have filled the seats. They're on edge, eager to prove to Peter Jennings, Tim Russert and the rest of the national media that have ranged thickly around the perimeter that their man isn't done yet. Onstage, Martin Sheen speaks first, then Dean's demure wife, then the suddenly embattled former governor of Vermont himself. Sometime after Dean begins taking questions from the audience, a manic-looking heckler starts to heckle, accusing Dean of ''covering up for Dick Cheney.'' He gets louder. A couple of spindly members of Dean's security team approach him uncertainly; he swings his arms and keeps shouting.

On Monday, Franken announced that he is quitting his radio show on Feb. 14, and he told his audience that they'd be the first to know of his decision. But Franken has been working the phones, telling his political friends he's ready to declare his candidacy.
