1988. A mere months until highschool graduation -- and though I probably should have been consuming keg beer en masse, I nerdily opted for Dr. Pepper and Saturday Night Live.
"Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!"
Sadly, that was then.
Now?
Al Franken evidently professes profound and 'insightful' knowledge, including (but not limited to) 1) George 2) Terry Schiavo and, shockingly, 3) Iraq.
I'm OK with that.
Not so into anyone capable of scrounging up a budget for a Costco bestseller, disdainfully mocking those in the political know-how, only to fall short on actual substance, all the while plugging their Senate run in 2008. A sampling:
"Health care should be universal."
"He gets impeached, convicted and starts drinking again that same afternoon."
"And Cheney has seven heart attacks."
Umm ... OK. Ignoring, momentarily, the completely inappropriate and almost embarassing mockery of the health of others -- thanks for the brilliant medical coverage thought.
Swirled peas, anyone?
