Al Franken Hearts Porn, Minnesotans Don’t
May 30, 2008
Al Franken’s latest role, attempting to play a grown-up, isn’t working out so well.
From Real Clear Politics: A Playboy article written in 2000 by current Minnesota Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken has caused a maelstrom of outrage — and not just from the opposing party.
…With just a week before the state convention, where Franken was all but assured of winning the DFL endorsement (which is often tantamount to the nomination), the endorsement could now be in question because of a sexually explicit article he wrote eight years ago on the future of pornography.
The Franken response: “The work was merely satire.” And some think his attempt to become Senator, just the same.
Really? I heart porn. I’m from Minnesota. You bunch of puritans!
Did these morons just figure out that he’s a comedian?
He’s a comedian for goodness sake. Half the people complaining probably look at porn or read Playboy magazines themselves. Al Franken just happens to be public with his preferences. Everyone has something to hide.
