Daniel Robert Epstein: Al Franken

We need AL! I never really followed Al much, and never listened to Air America. Then one day I saw a vid clip and realized that I could probably get more information from him or his books than I could with the sanitized media coverage. That lead to reading all of his books. I'm not saying in Al I trust, but I'm saying that with Al's questioning and honesty in Al "I trust more".
He certainly has reinforced my notions that we never see things like we should, and that we need to have a better view on how things are, not how we're told they are. I learned long ago when I was overseas to relay on non US based sources for a fuller picture. I rely on Al to keep all those that cross his path to stay on their toes.
Thanks for the interview SG, you made my morning.

I know it only marginally, tangentially has anything to do with this interview, but I never miss a chance to post this...

I originally came here to sing the praises of Al but this is fucking hilarious.

I would take Al Franken over Norm Coleman in a heartbeat.

Rad!

Can't wait to see his movie!

Stewart Saves His Family was probably the most compelling political docu-drama of the 20th century. I can't believe what an accurate description it gave of our current quagmire in the mid-east.

Gotta love Franken. His books are always hilarious, and his radio show is top notch. Can't wait to see this movie.

Awesome! Great interview!

Great interview.

Great interview. I'm looking forward to voting for Al.

Cool. Looking forward to the movie. This is the first I'd heard of it...

I loved Al on the old old SNLs when I was in my early to mid-teens and went to see Al Franken & Tom Davis open for the Grateful Dead - they were great. As are his books.

Can't wait fo the film. And he should run for office.

I think I frightened him at SFO.

Nice to see this interview bumped up again

+1. That's a pretty low bar though. I met Al once. He's really nice. Charming & funny too.

Cool interview. I love Al. Hell of a guy. And my dad hates him. Which is always a plus in my book.

I cannot believe it is almost January and we are still waiting to hear who won this.

Al is pretty much a waste of skin......ha

FUCK Al Franken. Unfunny bastard of a comedian...and lying sack of shit politician.

A year and a half after this thread has had activity, this is what you bump it for?
