A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to see Al Franken on his "Tour Tour" (Albany, New York). He performed for a couple of hours to a sold out crowd with only a microphone, a stool and three glasses of water. He talked a bit about his SNL days, but mostly about his time in the Senate. He told jokes, did impressions and said that when his committee was waiting, Dianne Feinstein would ask him to tell a joke and the others would argue about what it meant. And while he was still talking, he drew one of his famous maps of the states, said he'd sign it and donate it to a local Democratic charity. And at the end, the crowd was shouting for him to run again. We sure lost a great one when we lost him... *sigh*
