Bill Clinton is always wonderful, whether it's The Daily Show or Letterman, once even watched Oprah when he was on, just to see him! Al Franken does so few interviews, these days, that I thought this was special.

I thought this was such a great interview, loved his radio show, used to watch it on Sundance late at night. I'm a longtime fan and know you are, too...

I'd marry hm in a minute if he were into bigomy. I'd do all the house work just to listen to him talk after dinner.

Seeing him again after so long (since he's rarely done interviews after becoming senator), I was reminded of how much I enjoyed him and how much I missed him and his humorous take on things. I'm happy to listen to him talking about pretty much anything. When he was doing his Air America radio show, I'd watch it on TV, later at night on Sundance. I should probably watch more C-Span to get my Al Franken fix...

I wonder if the Senator could tally up the amount of money this country spends on war, and then he might be able to figure out why he can't find any cooperation for creating an anti bullying environment for those among us who need it.

He really is as smart as they come, agree that he's no doubt underestimated since he's known as a comedian. And I'm sure he takes your point...
