Al Franken Is Good Enough to Draw All 50 States

Email This

12 Comments

Being among the 89 percent of Americans who are able to identify the United States on a world map is a skill that we should demand from all of our senators. But now show-off Al Franken has gone and really raised the bar on geographical aptitude in the upper house by drawing an accurate map of all 50 states from scratch.

Boy, what a genius. First an ex-wrestler and man who is open to 9/11 being a hoax and now, Mr. Stuart Smalley. Thank you for continuing to make a mockery of our political system by voting these economic illiterate candidates to represent you, Minnesota, further proving people should be required to have a certain level of political knowledge before voluntarily exercising their right to vote or stay home.

I remember seeing him do this on SNL back in ~1992. He did it much faster and more crudely, and was predicting which way each state would vote for the election. It was an amazing thing to see, still is. His predictions were pretty accurate too.

Not to take anything away from that great feat, but his Carolinas could use a bit of work. According to his map, Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas are in NC.

How do we know he didn't have an image that he could see through the paper as a guideline? In either case, I'm glad he's spending his time on the important issues.

About the only thing you had right in all you said, was your name. Yes, Brewers do rule, but other than that, you need to go back to basics, boy and stay within your own state. What we had here, was a Republican Senator, Mr. Coleman, that specialized in taking vacation trips on lobbiests' expense accounts. He did little for our state other than to make it a mockery amongst all but Republicans. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, but I do vote the way I feel, rather than some party line that only serves to serve itself. Go home Junior, and play in your own backyard.

The clown can draw a map so I guess that means he really isn't a left wing, America hating a-hole after all????

That's a neat little parlor trick, but what does it have to do with his legislative abilities?

WOW IMPRESSIVE. I will bet that some of the Senate and House members could not name or show you where some states are located. I also be that Franken can name all the state capitals.
