Franken Continues Comedy Career During Campaign
September 21 - 11:57 AM

Comedian and U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken has blurred the lines between entertainment and politics by co-writing a political skit about John McCain for Saturday Night Live.

Franken's background has been a sore point in his Senate campaign for some time, as some of his more controversial comedy writing and skits have been publicized. Franken is challenging Minnesota Republican incumbent Senator Norm Coleman, who took the occasion to blast Franken for running what he characterizes as an angry, negative campaign.

I saw the skit and it wasn't very funny. Apparently Tina Fey isn't available for weekly return visits, so they're talking to older alumni like Al Franken. Will Chevy Chase be next?
