"He's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it, Minnesota likes him"

[SuperTrouper]

There you have it. Minnesota's new Senator, Al Franken. I think he will be a breath of fresh air and he will tell it like it is in the Senate. We are going to see long, unhappy faces when Stuart Smalley arrives in Washington; no more boring cocktail parties, Fox News will have to trip over themselves to cozy up to Senator Franken, especially Bill O'Reilly who must feel like a jerk after he spent so much time attacking our newest Senator. What a reversal of fortune, and doggone it, I like it.

Favorite sayings from Senator Franken's Stuart Smalley character from SNL:

"That's just stinkin' thinkin!"
"You're should-ing all over yourself."
"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt!"
"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me."
"I am a worthy human being."
"...and that's...okay."
"I don't know what I'm doing. They're gonna cancel the show. I'm gonna die homeless and penniless and twenty pounds overweight."

1. Welcome to the Senate...Sen. Al Franken! WOW!

I hope you're looking in the mirror right now and repeating: "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it AMERICA LOVES ME!"

P.S. I love you...and I'm in Wisconsin.
