and doggoneit, he's finally Minnesota's senator.
It's hard to believe Stuart Smalley or Jack Handy or whatever witty SNL character Al Franken played will now be representing Minnesota in Congress. It's been 238 days since election day, and the crowd was more than jubilant today at a Franken rally at the state capitol. Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled to support Franken's 312 vote victory.
In his quest to become a senator,Franken has stayed away from SNL jokes and paraodies during the campaign. I understand, but I think they would've made some great campaign ads. The ads and overall race was pretty nasty, and I think all Minnesotans are glad the race is finally over. He did make a few quick jokes during his speech today, which gives hope that he'll be an interesting politican to watch and interview.
