And from imdb.com:

Comedian Franken To Become US Senate Candidate
Former Saturday Night Live cast member Al Franken will run for the US Senate in Minnesota in 2008. A senior Democratic official from Minnesota confirmed the comedian has decided to run for office, but he has not made an official announcement. The 55-year-old has been calling members of the Minnesota congressional delegation to get their advice on his candidacy.  He announced this week he would be leaving his show on Air America Radio on February 14, and told listeners he would be making a decision soon on his run for office.  Franken will take on Republican Norm Coleman, a first-term senator who is among the Democrats’ top targets. In addition to his work on Saturday Night Live, he has also written several best-selling books combining humor and politics.

Al Franken for President. Now THAT IS a joke! Why is he doing this? First of all, the shoestring, underfunded, hate-mongering liberal radio talks show, of which he was the main attraction, has folded. Too much hate. I saw Franken's TV news bite where he's Mr. Sincere. And he's lost weight to boot. Getting in shape for the biggest loss in his career--running for President. His lack of credibility is readily apparent. While running down the Presidency and the country on his radio show, he also entertains the troops! He's not kidding me. And I don't think he'll kind anyone else. He's a loser. Go back to hate-mongering and running down the country, Al Franken! Fie Fay Fey Fum!
