If This Be Treason

For a guy whose radio show draws too few listeners in D.C. to register with Arbitron, Al Frankin sure got mouthy on the Letterman show. (Transcript courtesy of News Busters.)

Al Franken: “Right. So they wanted to smear the guy who came back with the report, and so they out his wife and said she sent him there. This is essentially, you know, George H.W. Bush, the President's father, was the head of the CIA and he has said that outing a CIA agent is treason.”

Letterman: “It is treason, yes.”

Franken: “And so basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed."

Oh that Franken. I remember when he was funny. But then again, I am an old man. A very old man.
