Had so much fun with Miss Garofalo in the last post, I thought it would be interesting to take a poke at her frontman Al Franken...she's the Robin to his Batman. He's the voice of uninformed liberal fans of public radio to her, um...well, I'm not exactly sure what she is but I sure did think it was funny that they were both captured on camera crying when Bush-whacked Kerry in the last election. Anyway, here is some more fuel to the partisan fire. Long shall it burn!
A few potable quotables from Franken's new book "The Truth" :
AL FRANKEN ON...
MORAL VALUES - "From what I understand, if you cut out all the passages in the Bible where Jesus talks about the poor, about helping out the least among us, you'd have the perfect container to smuggle Rush Limbaugh's drugs in."
GAY MARRIAGE - "George W. Bush wants to amend our Constitution to make it illegal for gays to marry. But evidently, he has no problem with terrorists getting married. America can't afford a president who is soft on terrorist marriage.Because unlike gays, terrorists can breed. "
IRAQ - "They told us that when we invaded, we'd be greeted with sweets and flowers.They left out the crucial modifier: "exploding." "
What do you think about this guy...pretty funny, eh? He's going to ruin the image Americans have of fat people being jolly (any offense to fat people was surely unintentionally intentional, I think?).

I literally ran into Al Franken few years back on my bicycle and knocked him down on the Hudson River path....thankfully I realized who he was before I apoligised, a heated word exchange ensued followed by a defeated, dejected and disheveled franken scurrying away like a little girl lost. On A side note..Gadfly do you remember when we were at Flannerys Pub on 14th and Franken came running in like a man on fire looking for the bathroom cuz he had to take a ccrap.
Oh yeah, I do remember that...Good memory Donkey. Too funny...It's almost like that Dylan line, "even the president of the United States sometimes has to stand naked"...Not exactly, but the way people are you would think that celebrities never have to drop trough now and again! In fact i bet that is where Franken gets his material...The thing that turns me on about him is that he is even sexier when he's just his own androgenous self. Hey Al, you don't have to dress like Pat for me...I like you just the way you are baby...
We (Or should I say I) were contemplating chucking a beer over the stall, but cooler heads prevailed. Moral of the Story...A pint of Guiness is worth more than that sorry sack of shit.
Amen...In fact a sack of shit is worth more than Al Franken. At least shit can be used for fertilizer or for monkeys to throw. Al Franken can't be thrown at anything and he certainly won't make my grass grow.
I wish I could run into Garofalo on my bike...
