Only one person showed up at Al Franken roundtable

What would happen if a political candidate advertised a roundtable discussion and nobody showed up?

That nearly happened in Minnesota where Al Franken’s campaign scheduled a roundtable discussion on veterans issues. One person showed up.

Franken (upper photo) is the DFL (Democratic Farm Labor Party of Minnesota) backed candidate hoping to unseat Republican Senator Norm Coleman.

Who is Al Franken? He is a former comedian who occasionally appeared on Saturday Night Live.

Franken was more recently a left-wing political talk show host on the floundering Air America, a radically liberal radio network started by George Soros in early 2004 with Franken as the ‘anchor’ talk show host.

The lower photo shows Al Franken dressed as a baby wearing a diaper. Would you vote for this man to represent you in the U.S. Senate?

When I first saw this photo of a diapered U.S. Senate candidate, some of my Sunday morning coffee nearly spurted out of my nose!

The funniest part of this story is that Franken may win in November. After all, Minnesota is the state that put former pro wrestler Jesse Ventura in the Governor’s mansion in 1999.
