I wish Al Franken were my Senator:
Now maybe the teabaggers in this crowd were more inclined to listen to Al Franken because he's a celebrity. But the fact of the matter is that Al Franken, whom no one took seriously and everyone thought was a clown, had a serious conversation with people who were all prepared to disagree with him. He was prepared, he told them FACTS, he did it in a way anyone can understand, and while he might not have converted anyone, at least he made them think.
Al Franken may just be our next Lion after all.

Still, this is exactly how all health care debate ought to be conducted, with mutual respect and serious, thoughtful queries meeting with like responses.
Does that mean it's time to dust off my old "SELECTED, NOT ELECTED" bumper sticker??
