Al Franken Quotes
And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book thats 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 theres all kinds of advantages to it. - Al Franken Quotes
But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: were an adjunct of the Republican Party, and were going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause. - Al Franken Quotes
I also focus on Bush and his administration - who do a lot of lying - and how a right-wing media has allowed them to get away with a lot of stuff that, in a different media environment, they probably wouldnt be able to get away with. - Al Franken Quotes
I do personal attacks only on people who specialize in personal attacks. - Al Franken Quotes
I once asked the most fabulous couple I know, Madonna and Guy Ritchie, how they kept things fresh despite having been married for almost seven months. Its a job, Al, Guy told me. We work at it every day. - Al Franken Quotes
I still do pure comedy - I recently did Prairie Home Companion, and I told a sweet, funny story that had nothing to do with politics. - Al Franken Quotes
Im neutral in this race but Im for freedom of speech, which means people should be able to assemble and speak without being shouted down. - Al Franken Quotes
If you hear, day after day, liberals are rooting against armed forces, that is eventually going to have an effect on soldiers and troops who are actually going to believe that and its wrong. Its just wrong. - Al Franken Quotes
Its easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world. - Al Franken Quotes
Its the Power of the Almighty, the Splendor of Nature, and then you. - Al Franken Quotes
I知 good enough, I知 smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me. - Al Franken Quotes
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless its a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from. - Al Franken Quotes
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. Theyre about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover. - Al Franken Quotes
The next thing I am doing is moving back home to Minnesota and getting involved in politics. Im looking at a run for Senate in 2008, but in the meantime I am focused on knitting together the progressive network in the upper Midwest. - Al Franken Quotes
The point is that there is tremendous hypocrisy among the Christian right. And I think that Christian voters should start looking at global warming and extreme poverty as a religious issue that speaks to the culture of life. - Al Franken Quotes
The right wing has had a radio apparatus for years and years, so theyve had minor leagues - theyve had local rightwing guys whove become national rightwing guys, and who build slowly, and thats how it goes. We havent had that. It isnt like we have a farm team. - Al Franken Quotes
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But Ive had to learn a little bit about it. Its not rocket science: You get ratings, thats good. - Al Franken Quotes
Theres no liberal echo chamber in this country. Theres a right-wing echo chamber. I want to create a countervailing echo chamber. - Al Franken Quotes
To make the argument that the media has a left- or right-wing, or a liberal or a conservative bias, is like asking if the problem with Al-Qaeda is do they use too much oil in their hummus. - Al Franken Quotes
We need to be pro-science; we have to go back to science. - Al Franken Quotes
Well, I think that theres a value to comedy in and of itself. - Al Franken Quotes
Well, a lot of politics is communicating with people, and obviously comedy has something to do with that. Ive been a producer and led people. Also, being a comedian, youre under pressure. - Al Franken Quotes
When the president during the campaign said he was against nation building, I didnt realize he meant our nation. - Al Franken Quotes
When you encounter seemingly good advice that contradicts other seemingly good advice, ignore them both. - Al Franken Quotes
Yeah, but you need an experienced radio veteran who is a liberal advocate. And there just hadnt been any radio that did that. And so they werent trained - they had developed all these bad habits of being objective and balanced and stuff like that. - Al Franken Quotes
Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks. - Al Franken Quotes
