Well I would, but I think that Al Franken is too busy to take your job just now.

No, you haven't. But you've spent your time bashing Al Franken in the face of much evidence that he's a very smart man. That makes you ... something different.

Franken's brilliance showed through on his dog for vets bill. Who but a harvard educated genius could conclude that dogs may be a man's best friend?

Wow, Al Franken's research interest is in AI? Maybe he could make himself a replacement brain for his defective one.

For those who want to test or brush-up on their knowledge of US geography, here's a great little quiz to test your knowledge.

It's a little sad that this is considered impressive, but speed drawing aside I could do that when I was 10. Not to say Senator Franken couldn't do it when he was even younger, only that any US adult should know the location of every US state.

I guess I'd be similarly surprised if there were a video of John Kerry doing long division or Harry Reid naming state capitals.

I can't draw a stick figure - so I was impressed by the video.

The man went to Harvard. You don't get into Harvard unless you are very talented. It goes beyond hard work. These people are gifted.

How about a video of Sarah Palin drawing the "country" of Africa?
