‘Daily Show’: Senator Al Franken?

Posted on Sep 28, 2006

Al Franken dropped in on Wednesday’s “Daily Show,” where Jon Stewart asked the comedian and radio host whether he would indeed run against Sen. Norm Coleman in the 2008 election.  Although Franken said he was still making up his mind, he added: “I’ve moved to Minnesota, I’ve been there since January 1st.  You don’t move to Minnesota January 1st unless you’re serious.”

Later, regarding Sen. George Allen’s “macaca” fiasco, Franken offered this sage comment: “You don’t want to go into the last month of a campaign where the only issue is not ‘are you a racist?’ but ‘how big a racist are you?’ ”
