Al Franken--Not Funny, Not Smart



Al Franken was a guest on Conan O'Brien tonight.

Working at Air America must have altered Franken's diet. He looked like he gained a ton. Doughnuts, maybe?

He was hawking his new TV show on Redford's Sundance C
hannel.

Franken claimed he rides his bike to work nearly every day. It must be an awfully short ride. He certainly didn't look like a health nut. I hate to think how fat he'd look if he didn't ride a bike daily.

Of course, he was political, showing a clip of McCain on Meet the Press.

Franken said he used to like McCain, until he supported Bush in 2004. He brought up push polling, supposedly done in the 2000 primary by the Bush campaign to smear McCain.

Franken said that the tactic was only used by the "dirtiest people in the world, which would be Karl Rove."

No one laughed. O'Brien's audience didn't seem to know who Rove is.

Overall, Franken was not funny, not smart, and looked overweight.

I'm not surprised.
