I met Al Franken today...
At the dedication for the Clinton Library. I have my photo at www.davidwquinn.blogspot.com

And now I will shut up about the Library. However, the opening was great. I recommend everybody go see it.

8. Trust me...I know
If I could get Al to take another picture with me, I would in a heartbeat. I hate that picture, but it's the only one I have.

6. Lucky guy - I would love to meet Al Frankin someday! Loved his book...
Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 08:44 PM by TwentyFive
I'm still laughing at some of the lines...like his trip to Bob Jones University and his inflight meeting with Babs..."even Neil?" LOL

Very witty guy!

7. I bought the book..
in the Frankfort airport and read most of it in the United Red Carpet Lounge during a LONG layover. Just so you'll know, I'm usually just a grunt Economy flier but I'd cashed in some FF miles for this trip and I was definitely out of place in my jeans, boots and Sturgis T-Shirt. I got a lot of disapproving looks from the business and First Class fliers when I'd chuckle out loud (which I did A LOT) and they'd look at what I was reading. hee hee hee hee }(

I don't know about you guys but I'm in love with Katherine Lampher because of her laugh!!
