It was the headline that caught my attention.
7 Days: Franken on Franken, Air America, “Senator Maddow” & More
The article, found on Huffingtonpost.com, was the transcript of an interview with Al Franken. The interviewer, Mark Green, asked Franken who he thought would be the next Air America personality to become a senator. Franken’s answer was a bit of a surprise.
GREEN: Who do you predict might be the next U.S. Senator with an Air America pedigree? Reagan because of his somewhat recognizable last name or Bender, because he has the chops and the good looks?FRANKEN: Yeah, Bender lost a lot of weight, huh? Is that what you’re talking about? Well, I think Rachel. So, I think when you’re talking about the next Air America senator, it would be Rachel Maddow.
When I saw the teaser my first thought was that she wasn’t ready for the senate. After reading Franken’s answer I realized that she might be ready in the not-too-distant future.
Something to consider. Would you like to see her go into politics someday?
