VOTE FOR AL FRANKEN

(VIDEO) Comedian Al Franken contemplates running for office some day.

Minnesota born Al Franken became politically minded when he was just a boy growing up with such role models as Hubert Humphrey, a champion for civil rights before he was even born. As an adult Franken became a member of the Democratic Farmer Labor Party supporting Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone up until his death in 2002. Franken contemplates his place amongst other showbiz types who became politicians if he were to run for office.

When asked about his campaign song, Al offered this little dity.

“I’d be the first comedian. Sonny Bono I guess was a comedian but he was mainly a songwriter. He was a good songwriter, I Got You Babe and a couple of other things but really not a very good comedian. Well Clint Eastwood was mayor but you’ve got Schwarzenegger of course who is the big celebrity body builder movie star who ran around half naked shooting people. A little different than my career.”

“Vote for Franken and you’ll keep your take home pay. Vote for Franken on election day. He’s got the heart and the strength and youth. He’s never been beat because he tells the truth. This was actually Nixon’s song in ’48 I think. Vote for Nixon, vote for Nixon on election day and then they literally did this, ‘Dick, Dick, we want Dick.’ Vote for Nixon on election day.”
