Feeling Minnesota

Michael Kinsley has a nice piece up on Slate about Al Franken. He asks, in this age of the never-ending quest to find the next thing to be offended by, whether some of Franken's old jokes will kill his chances of winning.

Me, I'm as sick of feigned outrage as I am of anything these days. But you probably already knew that.

If every politician's past ruined their chances of winning, there would be no politicians. let the past be the past -- after all, they're just jokes.

That kind of reasonable thinking means you have no hope of winning an election in this country, either.

Why do you hate America?
