Al Franken Puts Himself on The Line

Teh Washington Post does a long article on Al Franken's Minnesota Senatorial campaign, No Running Jokes Here.

"So after a lifetime of making people laugh, Franken tries to sound deadly earnest -- even, in truth, a little ponderous at times -- as he seeks the Democratic nomination in Minnesota, his home state. Since February, when he announced his candidacy, he's been crisscrossing the state in a hybrid SUV, speaking at dozens of spaghetti dinners, picnics and meet-and-greets, all with a singular mission: To convince people that his evolution from wacky satirist to talk-radio pundit to serious statesman is real and complete."

Now when will Coulter and Limbaugh do something similar?
