My thought was, oh joy, a political humorist.  Just what I need, more
political commentary this year.

Maybe next time we can vote on who they choose as a speaker.

Personally I'd much rather listen to someone like Gene Kranz, who can be
rented form the same source as Mr. Franken (and for $5K less even :-)
