Title: Comedian Al Franken Apologizes to Ashcroft
Small Quote:
[Letter from Franken to Ashcroft] "In the letter, I indicated that I
wanted your story for a book about
abstinence-only sex education entitled 'Savin' It!' I claimed that I had
already received testimonies from

Parting comments: 1) I do find Al amusing.....at times.
2) Apparently Al doesn't practice diversity with respect to
(perceived) actions by his philosophical opponents.
Cheers,
