Al Franken quotes
" And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that's funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read, easier to understand, and often stronger. So there's all kinds of advantages to it. "

Al Franken
" But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we're an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we're going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause. "

Al Franken
" But when you confront the right-wing media about their reporting, all they do is they get mad. "

Al Franken
" I also focus on Bush and his administration - who do a lot of lying - and how a right-wing media has allowed them to get away with a lot of stuff that, in a different media environment, they probably wouldn't be able to get away with. "

Al Franken
" I do personal attacks only on people who specialize in personal attacks. "

Al Franken
" I still do pure comedy - I recently did Prairie Home Companion, and I told a sweet, funny story that had nothing to do with politics. "

Al Franken
" I'm a comedian first and foremost, which some people think that doesn't give me the right to do what I'm doing. "

Al Franken
" I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog-one it, people like me. "

Al Franken
" I'm neutral in this race but I'm for freedom of speech, which means people should be able to assemble and speak without being shouted down. "

Al Franken
" If you hear, day after day, liberals are rooting against armed forces, that is eventually going to have an effect on soldiers and troops who are actually going to believe that and it's wrong. It's just wrong. "

Al Franken
" It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world. "

Al Franken
" Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from. "

Al Franken
" Newt Gingrich is the most unpopular politician in America. His favorable rating is only four points higher than the Unabomber. "

Al Franken
" The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover. "

Al Franken
" The next thing I am doing is moving back home to Minnesota and getting involved in politics. I'm looking at a run for Senate in 2008, but in the meantime I am focused on knitting together the progressive network in the upper Midwest. "
