Disillusionment and Triumph

We are still recovering from the revelation of Ben Stein's going native and throwing his money at Al Franken for Senate. Professor Bainbridge and Brian Maloney add their thoughts as well, including evidence that Ben Stein's conservatism really isn't all that it was cracked up to be.

Dismay also registered by Squotty at Kowabunga. As one would expect from the official MOB representative to the Klingon Empire, his problem isn't with Stein, it's with the 4 grand going to Franken from Leonard Nimoy:

I always figured that Spock was Democrat, but I didn't realized that he was a far-left leftie who would support Al Frank-N-Furter. Egads Mr. Spock, how could you?

One more Franken supporter was in the news this week. Robert Smigel donned his dog puppet and prowled the red carpet at the Tony Awards for targets, with hilarious consequences (video here). For example:

I understand the ratings are going to be so low, Osama Bin Laden will be hiding on stage.

I once saw Rosie O'Donnell in Grease. Not the musical, she was trying to wedge herself through a door way.


A lesson Franken should learn. It's much easier to forgive people for their political sins when they happen to be actually funny.
