He’s Good Enough, He’s Smart Enough. . .

. . .And gosh darn it, he’s your new United States Senator from Minnesota! And by 225 votes, at that. For my money, of which there is very little, I’d take an entire Senate made up of ex-Saturday Night Live cast members.

[Editor's Note: Al may be certified, but those wily Repubs are gonna keep this tied up in the courts for a while. We'll be lucky if we see Franken in DC before Labor Day.]

I love how Franken’s opponent Norm Coleman chastised him for wasting time & tax payer money on a recount. Franken said that Coleman who feel differently if the shoe was on the other foot.

Apparently Al was right.
