I knew Al Franken was no Rush Limbaugh in terms of moving the dial. But this is getting ridiculous …

After seeing the reaction to both TravelGolf.com’s Limbaugh and Franken interviews, you could only assume that Rush is even more influential than he boasts of being while Al intrigues people about as much as their pool guy.

Limbaugh catches Time magazine’s attention, brings tons of comments. Franken … well, there’s rumor that a paper from Lost Springs, Wyoming - population three - didn’t think anything Franken says is worth noting.

Seriously. You can still be the first to comment on Tim McDonald’s excellent interview with Franken, here. Just don’t be alarmed if you hear crickets when you open the story.

This all has given me new confidence in the human race. People really do seem to grasp what an utter snooze Franken is. As I’ve said before, this guy is a failed comedian who became political because he needed a niche to dreg up a career. He certainly couldn’t get by on being funny. Or interesting.

The Democrats need to recruit Chris Rock. Immediately. When Franken’s your voice, you’re lucky if a few guys in the mental institution tune into his radio show in their heads.

Franken professes to having been a caddie in his youth. But reading McDonald’s interview, you get the idea he couldn’t tell you who won the Masters.

I’d love to hear from someone he caddied for in the old days. Of course, that would be assuming that they didn’t keel over in boredom by the turn. And that’s a big assumption.

Dad was living such a full life. Until that Al Franken caddied for him. His heart must have just lost the will to keep ticking.
