Al Franken Draws Map Of U.S.--From Memory (VIDEO)

Senator Al Franken drew a surprisingly accurate map of all fifty U.S. states at the Minnesota State Fair recently.

The senator from Minnesota demonstrated his talent during a recording for Minnesota Public Radio. The video is set to music, so it's impossible to hear any "oohs" or "ahhs" from the audience.

This isn't the first time Sen. Franken drew the map for an audience. Franken showed off his cool party trick and auctioned it off during a 2007 Democratic fundraiser in Minnesota.

Big deal, Al. "W" could make more mistakes in a single minute than you make in a whole year!!

And he could be funnier than you (with all of your comedy writers) , all by himself, WITHOUT EVEN TRYING !

So THERE!

[Leper]

Hey, Al... Al... Texas seceded... stop drawing it.

[SuperSizeMe111]

Wow! A seal could do that.

[Feanor]

Wow, that's amazing... I can't even draw a circle.

[greenwlu]

Drawing 50 states? Big deal.

I've heard Barack can name all 57 states...

[PaiaGirl]

that doesn't even make any sense

[wyntka]

Obama did say that on the campaign trail, one of very few gaffs he made compared to McCain, or that other guy who was our last president.

[wyntka]

Big Deal?? Do you think you could do it?

Right wing blow hard. All bluster, no brains.

[ancientmarinader]

I didnt know the confederacy had that many.

[Michmod]

Al Franken is our coolest Senator. And I would be willing to wager he makes the top 20 in terms of grasp of the issues. Michiganders are are probably a little disappointed in the map, especially those from the UP...much more a conventional mitten... but other than that...

[nativesun]

impressive

[silencer2012]

They do say..... all retards have at least one thing they do best

[NoFooling]

May your sperm create an opportunity which challenges your small mind and narrow tolerance.

[silencer2012]

my mind is wide open.....I tune out ANYTHING that keeps the poor down

[AnAmerican]

So...tell us what yours is.

[PoliticiansRspineless]

Maybe he can apply at Rand McNally and get a real job. No probably easier to be a career politician.

[GomezAdams]

Al is awesome...I'm glad he made it to the senate. Most senators probably couldn't name all 50 let alone draw them from memory.

[booogiemann]

... and he drew all 57 of Barak Obama's States !!

[PaiaGirl]

what are you talking about? Is this some right wingnut inside joke?

[wyntka]

Obama did say that on the campaign trail, one of very few gaffs he made compared to McCain, or that other guy who was our last president.

[STATESMAN1]

Franken is awesome. While other politicians are geting shouted out, Franken gets to draw maps. Maybe he'll do a Stewart Smalley skit for us soon!

[charon]

Math is more important for many politicians than geography. Like, "How much is my 'No' vote worth to the insurance companies?"

[vooter]

So what? I, too, can draw a map of the United States, including state capitals (and largest cities, if you want). I can also draw a map of Canada, with the provincial borders and capitals in place. It's pretty sad that something like this amazes people--maybe you folks ought to look at a map every now and then....

[GoDogGo]

And you took the time to write about your superior talent, why?

Sorry, but I'm calling BS on you. And if you can, you have an exceptional talent. This IS a remarkable skill shown here and we should all value the geographic knowledge that Americans have so little of.
