Al Franken Quote: “I don’t know why dishonesty has always gotten under my skin. My parents taught me to tell the truth, but come on, whose parents didn’t? Well, okay, maybe Trump’s.

Part of it may be that I’ve always been an incredibly literal person.”

Al Franken Quote: “The right wing has had a radio apparatus for years and years, so they’ve had minor leagues – they’ve had local rightwing guys who’ve become national rightwing guys, and who build slowly, and that’s how it goes. We haven’t had that. It isn’t like we have a farm team.”
Al Franken Quote: “Also, like Bush, Bauer is open to a little good-natured ribbing. Even about his religion.

Al Franken Quote: “Changing technologies, changing marketplaces, and even changing trends in anti-competitive practices have all presented challenges to antitrust enforcement.”

Al Franken Quote: “I also discovered how much I could learn from listening to other people’s stories – even people who at first blush didn’t seem like the kind of people you could learn much of anything from.”

Al Franken Quote: “I think the Internet has developed at this incredibly rapid pace because of net neutrality, because of the free nature of it, because a YouTube can start the way YouTube started.”
Al Franken Quote: “I believe people have a right to know what’s going on with their information and how it’s collected, how it’s stored and who gets it.”

Al Franken Quote: “Once you even acknowledge that there is a line, that there are things you shouldn’t be allowed to joke about, that there are words that can’t be said no matter the context, you’re selling out the very idea of comedy.”
Al Franken Quote: “Paul’s greatest contribution to the progressive cause wasn’t what he accomplished in the senate, although he accomplished a lot. It’s the way he inspired others to take action, and taught them to be effective, and gave them the confidence to stand up and shout about what they believed it.”
Al Franken Quote: “Yeah, but you need an experienced radio veteran who is a liberal advocate. And there just hadn’t been any radio that did that. And so they weren’t trained – they had developed all these bad habits of being objective and balanced and stuff like that.”

Al Franken Quote: “Well, I think that there’s a value to comedy in and of itself.”
Al Franken Quote: “If we don’t start caring about whether people tell the truth or not, it’s going to be literally impossible to restore anything approaching reasonable political discourse.”
