Al Franken considers move to Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Comedian Al Franken, a Minnesota native, says he's considering moving back to the state to run against Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in 2008.
"It's a long way away, five years away," Franken told the Star Tribune this week. "It might be crazy. I might not be the best candidate. Part of this is seeing what happens next year and what direction things are going."
His possible bid for the Senate was first reported by Newsweek. When asked to respond to the story, Coleman said: "I have no comment. I don't do comedy."
Franken, a friend of the late Democratic Sen. Paul Wellstone, said he's being encouraged by his friends to run. Driving him as well has been his distaste for the Bush presidency, he said.
"I felt like after 9/11 this president had a chance. We were united in a way that I had never seen, and he had a chance to take this country forward in a spirit of mutual purpose and mutual sacrifice," the liberal humorist said. "Instead, he just hijacked it and used it to his own political ends."
Franken, 52, is the author of the best-selling Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.
