STUART SMALLEY GIVES AL FRANKEN THE COURAGE TO RUN FOR CONGRESS

Comedian, author and radio talk show host Al Franken announced that he will run for the Senate in Minnesota against Republican Senator Norm Coleman in 2008. When asked why someone who has never held office thought he could beat an incumbent with far greater experience, Franken said, “Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me.”
