Stuart Saves the Senate?
Al Franken is leaving Air America, recently rescued from pots of red ink. Will the Stuart Smalley auteur run for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota?
"I'm definitely giving it serious consideration, and I plan to make a decision soon and announce that, hopefully not on the same day that Barack Obama makes his decision and announces that," Franken said on his liberal Air America radio show.
Franken disclosed his plans on the same day that Air America, which filed for bankruptcy protection last year, announced that it will be sold to Stephen Green, the founder of a New York area real estate company. Franken will be replaced on air by Thom Hartmann, a talk show host based in Portland, Ore.
