Al Franken In Tights On "Solid Gold" (VIDEO)

digg Share this on Facebook Huffpost - stumble reddit del.ico.us RSS

Chances are you've never put Al Franken and "sexy" in the same sentence. Well, it's time to re-evaluate. Check out this priceless YouTube clip of Franken and his then-comedic partner, Tom Davis, impersonating Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on "Solid Gold" sometime in the 80s. Watch Franken as he runs, gyrates and prowls across the stage. After taking in his energetic two-minute and forty-second performance, I challenge you not to admit that Franken looks hot, young, toned, virile and, in short, sexy. (Special thanks to Gary Pini of Paper Magazine who turned me on (no pun intended) to this video.)

Washington is afraid of him on both sides of the aisle. Fear the spandex! FEAR IT!

Al you are so cool. When you get to Washington do an impersonation of John Ashcroft singing 'When Eagles soar.' Puleeze!

The good news is that unlike Reagan, Ranken seems unlikely to confuse his third-rate career as an entertainer with holding elected office.

But is Minnesota ready for a Senator with a nice butt?

Republicans are just jealous because they've never had much fun in their lives. (without involvement of a closet or some guilt )

OMG this REQUIRES that Franken return to SNL after he gets seated, just once.
And maybe we can try to have Kissinger at 30 Rock for the occasion too.
Too funny.

actually, one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and one of Franken's all-time funniest moments was on a Weekend Update segment on SNL, where he announced he was suing General Foods for using his name and likeness on the Frankenberry cereal box. He pulls out a box and, by god, it looks exactly like him.

The difference between Franken and the other senators...Franken will know when he's acting like a clown...the others..not so much...

I was reading a book on SNL not too long ago, and they were talking about Henry Kissinger being in the 30 Rock for a news interview or something, and the SNL people having to stop Franken from going down and giving Kissinger hell.

Thought it was interesting that he was that passionate about politics 30 years ago.

So if Caroline Kennedy busts out a Janis Joplin impersonation will her stocks improve?

Actually, it probably would. It wouldn't make her seem more substantial, but it would at least make her seem less remote.
