One Person Shows Up For Franken Event

By Wyatt Earp | August 10, 2008

Now how could this be? Al Franken is a honest, intelligent, concerned celebrity windbag who is seeking to be elected to the Senate.

There’s an old saying in politics that elections are won or lost one vote at a time.

On Friday, DFL-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken demonstrated how true that saying can be, when a round table on veterans issues at Brigitte’s Cafe his campaign scheduled drew only one participant.

Josh John, a St. Cloud resident who said he served in the Navy from 2000-04, had Franken to himself for an hour as he described difficulties he faced returning from his tour of duty and the help he received from his Veterans Services Office and the St. Cloud VA Medical Center. (H/T – SCTimes)

I would like to think that even the rubes in Minnesota would be smart enough to not elect this unfunny jackass, but I keep reminding myself that this is the state that elected Jesse “The Body” Ventura governor.
