He has repeatedly gone to Iraq with the USO and entertained the troops (and reportedly has kept his performances apolitical). He is, I think, one of the few really sincere people who say they support the troops even though they oppose the war." Concur. I saw him once on Letterman after one of these tours, and he kept those parts of the discussion apolitical as well. Still wouldn't vote for him,though. “That all said, I will repeat what I have said before about Franken.

Maybe in the reporter's neighborhood. That said, the thought of having Franken for my senator at the same time that I have Keith Ellison as my congressman is one that gives me nightmares.
