it's a grown-up kind of love
From the New York Times' recent 10 Questions For... Al Franken:
Q. 9. Why do liberals like you, Al Franken, hate America?
A. Liberals like me love America. We just love America in a different way. You love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world. That's why we liberals want America to do the right thing. We know America is the hope of the world, and we love it and want it to do well. We also want it to do good.
Franken's radio show debuts soon on Air America.

this is pretty hilarious coming from a guy as emotionally immature and childish as franken.
his show should prove to be a riot.
i predict that the laughs will be missed when the funding proping his show up either dries up or is withdrawn in exasperation at it's inevitable inability to achieve commercial success.

man bellefontaine, you are too funny! Please explain to me how Al Franken is "emotionally immature and childish", especially compared to Rush "All drug users should be punished harshly -- except for me!" Limbaugh.
