1. That was excellent! And he said he learned that to pay his bar bill!

I couldn't do it. Props to Al!

[proud patriot]

[graywarrior]

3. OMG, that is awesome.

[Joanie Baloney]

4. Holy Crap!

That was great! he got a little pooped out around California, but a very impressive bar trick!

5. could Norm Coleman do that?

Sarah Palin?

[JayMusgrove]

17. Sarah can't draw Alaska, and Norm Coleman can't draw

his way out of a paper bag, or out of the debt he piled up with his court battle for that seat.

[bobbolink]

22. He should challenge them!

:applause:

Much better use of time and energy than.... "clearing brush" :)

[Political Heretic]

6. Love it!! K&R

[Hissyspit]

7. I remember that!

[tekisui]

8. Love it!

[indimuse]

9. very cool!

Go AL. :) KNR!

[jsamuel]

10. didn't he have an extra state in between Colorado and NV?

[progressoid]

15. Utah? I think he got the shapes a little off in his haste.

Wyoming was a little squished by Colorado.

But I wonder if he got Rhode Island in there?

[JayMusgrove]

18. I think it is called Utextacy

And Maine looked more like Hawaii. LOL

[angstlessk]

11. damn..on those kid's tests to name the states already shaped I get at least a couple

wrong!

[Downtown Hound]

12. Wow, can Bush even name the 50 states?

Much less draw them in under two minutes?

Go Al! That was awesome.

[JayMusgrove]

19. For Bush there are only 5 states: Texas, Washington DC, (not a state), Maine

Connecticut, and the state of confusion, oh, and the state of drunkenness.

[valerief]

13. Way cool!

[progressoid]

14. Al should do that on the Senate floor!!

Maybe wear that suit too.



And who tells Bork and Inouye jokes? Those were the days. :sigh:

[waiting for hope]

16. Wow - I'm just struck on

how young both Franken and Letterman look ... :)

[JayMusgrove]

20. That was over 22 years ago. I think.

The Ollie North hearings were when, 1987?

[waiting for hope]

21. Yes - and in 1987 I was only 23

years old. Guess I was a helluva lot younger too!

[JayMusgrove]

23. You are STILL a helluva lot younger than me! LOL n/t

[waiting for hope]

26. We are as old as we feel -

So I guess that makes me about 10 ... my kids help out with that!

[Captain Hilts]

24. I remember watching this live. It's terrific. nt

[mzmolly]

25. Dare I say that Minnesota has the most interesting Senators?

:toast: to my new State Senator, Al Franken!

[kath]

27. Hell, Chimpyshit probably can't even NAME half of the states.

[applegrove]

28. I saw Al Franken do that a number of times over the years. He's always

been a politico.

[eppur_se_muova]

29. I remember seeing that ... didn't remember it being so long ago.

Wyoming is gonna sue Al. :)
