Friend of the Farm, Robert Saunders of ProcrastinationNation.blogspot.com, did a press pool interview with Al Franken Monday night at Vanderbilt University. It would have been better if he actually took notes, but here's his review of Franken's take on the newly warm and cuddly, repentant Rush Limbaugh:
Different folks asked about that in the interview and the speech. He was pretty funny about it. He said it was clear that Rush had gotten some of the standard addiction therapy and demonstrated about *this* much understanding of it. His serious comment was, "from the guy who said my friend, the late Jerry Garcia, is just another dead doper..." (There was more to it but that's what I remember.) Another quip he made, "Since Rush said drug addicts should get the maximum sentence, I hope that Rush asks for a maximum sentence in the worst Florida prison with a black guy who has heard Rush's Donovan McNabb comments."
(Ed--Ouch. Let me get this straight, Franken's the liberal?)
