Al FrankenYou didn't think former comedian Al Franken aspired to be a U.S. senator for Minnesota just to parrot the Democratic line, did you? Heck no! He's in the bicameral legislation to rattle some cages and — if time — cage some rattles.

Without divulging any of the fun or juicy quotes that the blogosphere devours like a farmer's omelet, five separate people confirmed to Politico that Franken really gave White House advice giver David Axelrod the business during a closed-door Democrat senator powwow.

Isn't this always what happens? Health care was their No. 1 priority. It was their "Stairway to Heaven." And with no final deal being passed, coupled with Scott Brown comin' to town, health care is polymorphing a tense issue and a sensitive subject. It's turning into their Coda.


Oh, and Franken is also taking shots at NBC. You gotta love a senator who's not afraid to confront big business, even when those business had you wear this:
