To: Al Franken, Senate Candidate From: Mitch Berg, common schmuck Re: Profile in Courage Mr. Franken, It has to look bad now; your tax problems are becoming a pop-culture punch line to the point where even some of the people who drank your kool-aid are trying to toss you under the bus. This has to be the dark night of your political soul. But I urge you, Al - fight the tide! Take those who are trying to throw you under the bus, and body slam them like you did that senior citizen who was heckling Howard Dean. Rhetorically, I mean. Let’s face it, Al - you were “swiftboated” [*]! Because if you depart the race, what is the DFL left with? A dozey addlepated pseudoprofessor from a “peace studies” “program” (St. Thomas adopted the program because it didn’t fit National American University’s standards of academic rigor), and yet another lawyer. Norm Coleman’s a lawyer, for crying out loud; they’re practically kissing cousins! So you have to stay in this campaign, Al. You have to! Because…er, you owe it to the children! Only you have what New York needs. Minnesota. Only you have what Minnesota needs. Sorry. Anyway - stay the course, Al! The Strib’s hard at work gundecking all that “tax” folderol, anyway - you can ride this out, with a little help from your friends at You can do it, Al! That is all. [*] “swift-boat-ing, v. To tell inflammatory, incriminating stories about Democrats that happen to be documentably completely true. Cross-posted at Shot in the Dark. Comments welcome. |
