The news today that Al Franken wrote the anti-McCain opening on SNL this week should not surprise anyone. During his campaign for the senate in Minnesota, Al has apologized for his past writings and stated unequivocally that he is out of the business of comedy writing. Guess what -- he lied. Then, when rumors surfaced that he had indeed written the opening to this weeks show, he denied it through a spokeman. Guess what -- he lied. When it was publicized that he had failed to pay both taxes and workers' comp expenses in New York for many years, he paid the nearly 100,000 dollars owed and said that neither he nor his wife had any idea about this debt. Of course, then it came out that the state of New York had been trying to collect this money for years and had sent a series of certified letters to Franken seeking payment. Guess what -- he lied again.
The list goes on, but the point is the same. Al Franken is a liar who will say anything to try to fool the people of Minnesota into electing him to the senate. My guess is that he will fail.
After all, what is Franken's main qualification for the Senate? He is a minor celebrity. Not Paris, but maybe a suburb. In my view, the only senator in history with less going for him would be Incitatus.
