The baggage Franken brings to the senate race isn't his comedy writing career.It is his radical leftist politics.He has demonstrated himself to be unbeleivably hateful and vitrolic in his politcal comments for years.He is the typical Hollywood limousine liberal,unconcerned about the cost of his envisioned socialist utopia because money is not an object of concern for him.The real joke is the notion that this hack could make a credible senate run in any state.
