A Clueless, Callous Commander-in-Chief

Posted on June 24th, 2011

Posted on November 22nd, 2010

By Jack Cashill If United States Senator Al Franken — it hurts to say that — ever had a redeeming moment, it was in the role of Stuart Smalley, a character he created for “Saturday Night Live.” In the most memorable of Smalley’s “Daily Affirmations,” the lisping, wildly insecure psycho-babbler hosts Michael Jordan.
