Sorry, but I have to agree with Sawz about Franken. He was 55 years old when he came up with the skit. While he may have gone through some sort of change, you do have to wonder why. Did he become "poltically corrrect" because he had polticial motivations.    Sure, comedy is subjective and I have nothing against dark humor and satire, but it is NOT unfair to consider everything about an individual before we form an opinion.

Also, it is not a question about his qualifications for public office - that is for voters to decide. This discussion was about "radio talk show whackos" and Al Franken WAS a whacko. All of these so-called political talk show hosts are nothing but amateur comedians and entertainers.
