In one of the more unexpected political matchups of the year, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is going head-to-head against liberal pundit Al Franken — for a Grammy.

Clinton, the Democratic senator from New York and former first lady, was nominated for a Grammy Thursday for the audiobook version of "Living History," the best-selling tome on her time in the White House.

She has already won a 1997 Grammy for the audiobook of "It Takes a Village." Now, she'll be competing with Franken, talk show host Bill Maher, actor Don Cheadle and poet Nikki Giovanni.

"That's tough competition," said Clinton, noting her husband, former President Bill Clinton, also was nominated for a Grammy.

"I'm glad he's not my competition," she joked.

The former president is nominated for an audiobook he recorded with Mikhail Gorbachev and Sophia Loren.

"Living History" has sold nearly 1.5 million hardcover copies. It is expected to be released in paperback next spring.

Clinton said recording the audiobook was "very, very hard work... It's done so precisely, you have to be careful about breathing too hard."
