Al Franken beat Norm Coleman, proving that patience and a sense of humor can warm up even Minnesota. Or maybe Norm just looked a bit too much like Ken, as in Barbie kicked him out of the Dream House when he started doing Hair Club for Men commercials and selling Amway. Anyhoo, I’d mostly tuned out the tight race between the two because I was certain that Kathyrn Harris has a cousin or an eviler twin in the Twin Cities who works in the election commission or dates a judge or something. But then, lo and behold, CityMouse was feeling a little snotty in the whiskers and asked us for jokes and/or sundry funnies to cheer her up. I offered this, which I heard from my brother-in-law, G.W., who in his BIG BIG heart and bigger grin reclaims those initials for good:
At a recent Al Franken rally, he led the crowd in this chant:
What do we want?
Patience!
When do we want it?
Now!Godspeed in feeling Al better.
And wouldn’t you know it, Al waited it out and got the win … for now.
