re: #90 Blind Frog Belly White

I wasn’t concerned with Franken’s age. But reading ‘The Giant Of The Senate’, he talked about how things from his time in comedy that were really pretty innocent came back to haunt him in the MN Senate campaign - like a brief mention of moments from a writers meeting for SNL, where people are throwing out crazy ideas trying to see what works*, so inappropriate things get suggested, things that would never see the light of day.

*I think people who watch comedy, whether scripted, or standup, seldom realize how much dreck gets tried out and then eliminated in getting to a final product.

Kind of like emails in a presidential contest.
