Remember he did reach out to minority communities during both his runs for Mayor. (Part of the way he did that was by hyping up the anti-gay card).

I'm saying his proposed skits about rape, his jokes about drugging women, his comments that the only people who like getting abortions are rape victims, his joke that "no one like a gay-bashing joke better than (Al)," his satire about phone sex with Asian women and his reference to Republicans as "right wing mother fu$*ers" and "shameless dic*ks" are offensive and a few reasons why Al Franken isn't the strongest candidate for the DFL this year. Danno,

I’m not saying Al Franken is sexist. I’m saying his proposed skits about rape, his jokes about drugging women, his comments that the only people who like getting abortions are rape victims, his joke that “no one like a gay-bashing joke better than (Al),” his satire about phone sex with Asian women and his reference to Republicans as “right wing mother fu$*ers” and “shameless dic*ks” are offensive and a few reasons why Al Franken isn’t the strongest candidate for the DFL this year.

It is good to see my reasoning is backed up by people with better political minds than myself. I posted on myDD a take down of the two polls without checking here first.

Just another one of those things that makes one go: "hmmmmm.....wassup with that??!?" From Rasmussen, just last week:

Election 2008: Minnesota Senate

Minnesota Senate: Coleman 48% Franken 45%, Ventura a Wild Card
Friday, June 13, 2008 Email to a Friend

The recent flare-up over an old article Democratic nominee Al Franken wrote for Playboy magazine has had little impact on the Minnesota Senate race, with incumbent Republican Norm Coleman holding on to a narrow 48% to 45% lead.

OK, last Friday, Rasmussen says Coleman “narrow lead”, but somehow, according to Survey USA (after the weekend), Coleman’s blown the doors off and is now stomping Franken.

Just another one of those things that makes one go: “hmmmmm…..wassup with that??!?”

He is a total sycophant, who occasionally exhibits the ability to think for himself. A good legislator, who actually looks out for the WHOLE constituency he serves, ALWAYS thinks for himself. We need some new blood in that seat, even if we don't all love who it is.

It really shows that both Franken and Coleman are poor candidates. It will be an interesting race, nonetheless!

There were no jokes performed involving that. There were brainstorming sessions for jokes for SNL, that involved some material like that. It's a little different. If the idea for a joke had been about murder (which, there have been plenty on SNL actually performed), I don't think that we could get way with calling Al homicidal. It's just easy to call him sexist, because it's impossible to prove one way or another. mnpolwatcher:
