Heard the One About Al Franken Senate Candidate?

I don't like this. I am using this example because it is current, but what the hell does Al Franken's jokes have to do with his ability to represent the people of MN?
It is because of attacks like this that we get the opportunity every election to vote between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Attack what he thinks about issues, about votes he made (if he is an incumbent.)
The whole campaign process makes me sick, and I'm tired of it before it has started.
