Knows a bit about geography

Minnesota Public Radio, via HuffPo, says this is real -- a party trick that Senator Al Franken has done before -- and that you'd hear oohs and aahs from the crowd were it not for the musical soundtrack. Seems to me there are just enough small errors to make that plausible. If you believe it's real, the details and proportions are pretty amazing.

[Added] More reason to believe: via KK and the "related" feature on YouTube, you can see Franken do this (not quite as well) on David Letterman, way back in 1987. (Jump to about 6:35 if you don't want to watch the whole clip, but it is worth watching.)
