Open Letter to Al Franken

So Al Franken took out a heckler - either "hit him low" or "bear hugged and body slammed him". According to one account, he was in his sixties, and by all accounts Franken blindsided him.

According to other accounts, he's done a lot of tough-talking about the likes of Rich Lowry and some other endomorphic pundits.

Well, well. A tough guy.

So, Al Franken, tough guy and would-be senator from Minnesota - come after me next, OK?

Oh, you only haul off on hecklers? OK - you haven't had a funny bit since Stuart Smalley, and that only for the first couple of times. Your voice makes Fred Rogers sound macho. And - oh, yeah - you're a walking example of Little Fella Syndrome in action. Your talk show is going to make Jim Hightower look like Sean Hannity, in terms of numbers.

People who heckle Dean? OK - he's a whack-job.

Wanna go a round or two? I never did any high school wrestling - grappling with guys was never my bag (not that there's anything wrong with that), but worked in bars long enough to know how to do tonsil surgery with a pool cue.

So let's go, Al. Say when - or even charge me from behind, for all I care. Best make it works the first time, though.

Cowardly hypocrite.
