The announcement that Al Franken will soon become Sen. Al Franken, representing the state of Minnesota, is not sitting well with a number of right wingers – especially those on the far right (like Glenn Beck of Fox News).
BECK: This is like having me in the Senate. … it shows that we’ve lost our minds.
First, Beck has to have had a mind, at some point, to have lost one.
Second, Franken (unlike Beck) has a track record of bring successful as a politician, a track record of being funny and a track record of being sane.
Beck fails in all of those categories.
