Franken to stay at Air America

Al Franken just said at the end of his show that he will not be running for Senate in 2006... he is still open to running for 2008 against Norm Coleman.

Al spoke about the need to honor his commitment to Air America, and while I buy that in part, I really think he wants a piece of Coleman, who is currently befouling the seat of the late and Al Franken hero Paul Wellstone.

On a more humorous note, Al was talking about the minimum wage in reference to some stupid statements Rush made, and said:

Rush gets his statistics from his butt; we get them from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Not as funny in print I perhaps, but my point is that Al running or staying is win win.
