What do you know about Norm Coleman tha makes you think he was more qualified other than his having an "R" after his name. I agree with Franken's stance on the major issues. He will be a good Senator.

BTW...Americans voted for the star of "Bedtime for Bonzo." Unfortunately, that turned out to be a fiasco. I think Al will do a great job though.

Laugh all you want, but you'll only look the fool for doing so.

Al Franken did, indeed, graduate from Harvard in 1973. It even says so right in The Harvard Crimson. Now laugh at that source.
