Al Franken’s latest role, attempting to play a grown-up, isn’t working out so well.

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.
