CNN reports: Comedian [Al] Franken considering Senate run.
He consulted with "Democratic lawmakers" in Minnesota. Franken mentioned one "pitfall" that they noted: "It's unknown how people will respond to a comedian running for the Senate. I need to figure out a way to let people know I'm extremely serious about Minnesotans and their lives."
Not that I'm a Minnesotan, but I'm wary of any politician who's extremely serious about my life. He doesn't even know me. Let him worry about his own.
