The practical realities of politics have forced Al Franken to tone down the funny. So we remember the earlier Al Franken — from the Mick Jagger impersonation to the early Letterman appearances to SNL.
Late Update: I’ll add on my own account, painfully, he hasn’t just toned down the funny. The post-recount Al has been painfully bland in his statements and frighteningly monotone in his vocal stylings. This new dude’s pretty boring. So, to the funny Al of yesteryear, we salute you! – jmm
