Citizen Franken

Lessons on Love from America’s Most Notorious Jester/Prophet

(excerpted from original article)
Al Franken single-handedly smashed the stereotype of the humorless liberal. The former Saturday Night Live writer became one of the most important voices of the American Left with his best-selling books, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. With his new talk show on the liberal Air American Radio, he’s facing down his nemesis, Rush Limbaugh, on Limbaugh’s home turf. When Heeb magazine caught up with Franken after his stand-up act at “Not Quite Kosher,” an event for Jewish college students in Pittsburgh, the comic-cum-pundit was itching to get serious.
