Wow. He was ... Hot ...

[PepeLepew]

Wow. Al was actually cut!

[grasyknol]

He's working away while W. was getting drunk.

[IndelibleVoice]

Franken had muscles!

[JScott]

Well from my understanding he wrestled in school.

[filo]

It kind of reminded me of Groove Tube or am I the only person who remembers that movie.

[BushBites]

Yeah, groove tube and tunnel vision were both movies I was too young to see but heard were really cool.

[KYlawyer]

Both great skit movies. There was a slew of them for awhile. The last one I remember from that era was Loose Shoes.

[fauxmccoy]

groove tube rawked -- i still have to watch it on occasion, but there are some decent clips on youtube. my fave was always the festive holiday loaf

Search for the AWESOME video of him as Pat Robertson on Church Chat... awesome.

[Pyfagorus]

I remember that. He really had that squinting smile down.

[verticallychallenged]

[norwouldi]

Thank you. He really nails the voice, doesn't he? Rolflao

Franken has always had religious and social commentary in him.

[prunebush]

Remember when SC Gov Mark Sanford kept making those weird comments about disappointing the "Tom Davises of the world"?

Here's one of 'em: Al appears here with his long-time writing and performing partner, Tom Davis.

We should get a comment from him as to whether Sanford's actions actually disappointed him.

[Dogwithoutaleash]

He's hot.

[DFL]

Al is big on visiting the troops and I bet he'll crack some good jokes there and make them laugh big time, troops love visits from Al !

[fedupwiththis]

Does Frannie know about this?

[Mike Barden]

Gee, i didn't know Commedienne's could run for the Senate. next thing ya know they'll wanna be Spock.

[Pyfagorus]

Gee, I didn't know it was possible to take an everyday word like "comedians" and make it into something so extra-super-fancy.

[real1234]

You're kidding? The whole republican party are made up of comediens.

[Uvula]

aaahahahaha

[BarackstarObama]

He looks way cool with long hair.

[JinMN]

Yeah.

[jamesmac10]

I haven't read all the posts yet but so far no one has mentioned the obvious. He has a hot body and I didn't even vote for him.

[JinMN]

Yeah hot I think he is hot now lol.

[jamesmac10]

Just to be specific I said "hot body". He still has a funny looking mug and his speech leaves a lot to be desired.

[ClassyCynic]

where's the skit of franken and davis on SNL, in which they face the audience dressed Egyptian-style, in some sort of long white 'skirts.' when they turn around, their butts are bare. The audience screamed. That was a laugh. I'm surprised it hasn't re-emerged, of late.

[rini]

Wow, Al had a body! and long hair!

wow.

[Axekick]

lol, you must be young... I could always tell just by looking at him that he was once athletic. Once you watch your friends age you begin to detect certain patterns and can often identify those who were once "built"

[libsechumanist]

Al was a wrestler in HS - had to be in shape.
