I met Franken in New york after 9/11 where I was on a Search and Rescue team.
He was on a USO type tour visiting the rescue workers. He was with a lot of pretty famous people that were getting a lot more attention so he sort of looked like a lonely puppy.
I made a bee line for him because I was a huge fan of his books. I sounded like an idiot because I was coming off a 12 hour shift after a week of too little sleep (not to mention I was a little star struck).
He was so genuine and humble that he earned a fan for life. I have a picture with him and it is proudly displayed in my home. I was so stoked to see him run for Senate and WIN.
Great video. Even my 10 year old daughter thought it was hilarious. I think she wants us to leave her alone some time.
