Franken? Franken? Franken?

The increasingly populist Ben Stein throws $2,000 to old friend Al Franken.

NewsMax reports:

Stein, a former speechwriter for President Nixon, has contributed thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and to GOP committees, such as the National Republican Senatorial Committee _ charged with helping Republicans take over the Senate. Doesn't the donation to Franken undercut those efforts?

"Well, it does to a very slight extent," Stein said. "There is some contradiction there. But not all senators are as good as Al Franken."

I weep for the future.
