Al Franken has shown “remarkable discipline” for resisting the urge to make jokes
June 30th, 2009 by Rightwing Czar at 7:48 pmOh good: The chief qualification of Senator Doofus is that he resisted making jokes for two years when he very easily could have. Now that is the type of discipline we desperately need in Washington.
For more than two years he went to every county, every town, every Democratic-Farmer-Labor local convention — you name it — and never once made a joke of it all, or even made a joke of himself. It may sound like nothing, but it’s hard for a comedian in that situation to resist the temptation to turn his own ambition into a joke.
Poor Al. That must have been agonizing to resist turning your campaign for the United States Senate into a joke.
