Met Al Franken Tues. night:

Went to a meet-and-greet for AF the other night at a house here in MN., I had a date and she'd been invited to it. He gave his standard stump speech, promising an end to all bad things and free healthcare for all, plus he's going to stop global warming.

He was quite funny, of course, with a lot of good old-fashioned Jewish humor, (it was a crowd of his oldest friends and HS classmates from St. Louis Park), he had me rolling with a jab at Bill O'Reilly and other jokes. His delivery is as good as it gets, IMO.

I got my moment w/ him afterwards and asked him how it could be fair to blue-collar working Americans like myself to allow tens of millions of Mexicans that have snuck into the country to stay and flood the labor market w/ low-cost workers. He did not have an answer, but he babbled something about enforcement at the workplace, etc... I asked him who was going to enforce the new laws he supports when the U.S. govt. cannot or will not make a good-faith effort to enforce current law regarding illegals in country. I told him that real enforcement was a joke and that he knew it, I knew it, so what's the point of BS'ing? He suddenly got in a hurry to leave for his next appointment, (stop on the checkbook tour), I had him stumped I do believe.

He is one hell of a nice guy and like most liberals his heart is in the right place, but hold onto your wallet Minnesota if this guy gets elected somehow.
