Franken announces he will resign in disgrace


Remember many years ago on Saturday Night Live? Al Franken and Tom David did that recurring skit, The Franken and Davis Show. Like they were a comedy team with a TV show.

In one of these things, Tom Davis came out and told the audience that Al Franken had an inoperable brain tumor and was on his last legs and he asked the audience to laugh at all his jokes. Franken comes out, acts like his mind is gone and keeps using the same punchline on all the jokes.

After this was broadcast, SNL got a letter from a viewer. He had a friend who had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He wasn't trying to cheer him up exactly but trying to bring him out of his deep depression. He suggested they turn on Saturday Night Live. And that was when that Al Franken bit came on.

Franken was the comic genius behind that and the breast cancer skit.

To hell with him. A rich boy who went to an exclusive prep school which got him into Harvard. I understand why Democrats like him, but why do they like him so much?
