Time for Anger Management Therapy

September 12, 2008 Posted by John at 7:13 PM

Norm Coleman's campaign has produced a new ad, "Angry Al." It highlights Al Franken's frequently hotheaded, profane and inappropriate conduct:

I think they got the still image near the end from this site. It was taken at the 2004 RNC. I also witnessed the confrontation between Franken and Michael Medved at the same convention that you see, briefly, in the ad. Franken can be a scary guy. When the news broke about the pornography--no, wait, "satire of pornography"--that Franken wrote for one of the men's magazines, his campaign manager said, "We think the voters understand the difference between a comedian and a U.S. Senator." I think that difference is becoming ever clearer to Minnesotans.

SCOTT adds: It's a funny kind of attack ad. The only person speaking in it (beside Coleman in the ad's mandatory disclosure) is Al Franken himself.
