Sen. Al Franken?

Minnesota-born comedian-author Al Franken is considering moving home and running against Norm Coleman in 2008! Not only is he a progressive with a sense of humor (a rare thing!), but he's right on target with his assessment of the current political climate:

I felt like after 9/11 this president had a chance. We were united in a way that I had never seen, and he had a chance to take this country forward in a spirit of mutual purpose and mutual sacrifice. Instead, he just hijacked it and used it to his own political ends... I do think this administration has been dishonest with us. And it feels like [Sen.] Norm [Coleman] does what this administration wants him to do.
