Why Al Franken Should Not Hold Political Office (with jokes)

OK, I'm not going to cover every reason why Al Franken should never, ever hold political office...I don't have that much time, and I'm guessing that you don't either.

First of all, I'm extremely uncomfortable with someone whose grip on reality is so loose that he purports to be funny in this David Letterman clip at The Political Teen. Or on this video ad for his new book over at Amazon. (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin)

But, seriously folks, let's take a look at the hatred this man has for ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH HIS WHACKED OUT IDEOLOGY! His brand of vitriol has no place in political office where you have to work with people with all sorts of political beliefs that differ from yours. Can you imagine day one of Al Franken in office?

8:00 am
Settle into new digs. Contemplate how much you hate @#$&!!! Bush.

8:15 am
Buzz secretary for chai with a splash of vanilla soy. Tell her how much you hate @#$&!!! Bush.

8:30 am
Call in to Air America (you won't have to wait long in the caller queue) to gloat and remind them how much you still hate @#$&!!! Bush.

8:45 am
Meet with local conservative and (throw chair) tell him how much you hate him AND (overturn desk) #$&@!!! Bush.

9:00 am
Phone interview with the NY Times. Don't forget to mention how much you hate @#$&!!! Bush.

Fortunately for America, and the good people of Minnesota, I have a sneaking suspicion that his political support would be somewhere along the lines of oh, I don't know, Air America ratings?
