Al Franken
Anybody who deliberately propagandizes with lies should be held up to scorn and ridicule.
Al Franken
My dad loved comedians, especially George Jessel, and he loved Henny Youngman and Buddy Hackett.
Al Franken

Al Franken
And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that's funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read, easier to understand, and often stronger. So there's all kinds of advantages to it.
Al Franken
Humor and seriousness are not in opposition to each other.
Al Franken
We owe an historic debt to American Indians. They have a unique set of concerns that haven’t been addressed and I’d like to stand with them. Also, I’d like to get their views on immigration.
Al Franken
The nature of the Internet and the importance of net neutrality is that innovation can come from everyone.
