'''Al Franken''' (also known as Stuart Smiley) is a radical [[liberal]] comedian and former radio host for the [[Air America]] network. Franken is best remembered as a writer and performer on the television program ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' and the star and screenwriter of the motion picture ''[[Stuart Saves His Family]].'' He announced that he would run for a [[Senate]] seat in [[Minnesota]] in 2008 as a [[Democrat]]. What some people perceive as Franken's rudeness, vulgarity, and his tendency to make outrageously offensive comments have led to questions about whether or not he will alienate himself from the important undecided swing voters<ref>http://www.startribune.com/587/story/1083904.html Star Tribune retrieved 6 April, 2007</ref>.
He has also admitted to using cocaine (see the book ''Live From New York'') and may be unpopular due to his unashamed use of the word "liberal" to describe himself. In fact, his radio show was originally going to be called "The Liberal Show" before being called, simply, "The Al Franken Show."
== Books by Franken ==
*''Oh The Things that I know! A Guide to Success, or Failing That, Happiness,''
*''Why Not Me,'' (a "journal" kept through the fictional "Franken for President" campaign)
*''I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough and Doggone it, People like me.'' (In Character as Stuart Smiley)
*''Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot (a satrical look at [[ad hominem]] attacks in political debate)
*''Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right'' (examining what he believes are inaccurate and misleading statments made by right wing pundits, particularly [[Ann Coulter]], [[Bill O'Reilly]] and [[Sean Hannity]])
*''The Truth (with jokes)'' (a look at how [[George W Bush]] beat [[John Kerry]] in the 2004 Election with what Al Franken calls the "Fears, Smears, and Queers strategy").
