Here's video of Al Franken -- who only recently made the switch to being a politician since spending some 40 years as a comedian, author, and then radio host -- doing what we very rarely get to see our elected representatives doing: talking good, grownup sense to a crowd of confrontational, obviously talking-point-fed constituents.
Watch this, and make a birthday-wish that all those non-comedian Democratic politicians will stop getting so damn tongue-tied when it comes to managing hostile crowds, and that they bring home some of Al's mojo.
