Of course, we're always glad to hear from Al Franken. I was able to see him last month as part of his Nationwide Tour Tour - and he was great, political and very funny - with only a microphone, a stool and 3 glasses of water, he performed for over 2 hours to a sold out crowd (Albany, NY) and got a standing ovation
