As Democrats count the gains they expect in the Senate on election day, one of their top targets is Norm Coleman (R-MN). The likely candidate against Coleman — pending a primary challenge — is one-time funnyman Al Franken. Franken made an appearance at Carleton College the other day, and gained attention for mocking a college Republican who had the gall not to want his photo taken with Franken:
This description of the incident is not disputed by Frankens’ spokesman, who says Franken was tired that day. Further, it’s corroborated by the head of the college Democrats, who was present at the time. There’s plenty of evidence of Franken’s nasty temper even prior to this incident, as Captain Ed and Scott Johnson recount. Coleman has to be praying that Franken manages to survive the primary.
