Franken's 'Porn-o-Rama'

Poor Al. First it was the unpaid taxes, then it was unpaid workman's comp, now it's his 2000 Playboy article:
On Thursday, Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., called the sexually explicit article offensive and potentially damaging to Franken and other Democratic candidates in Minnesota. . . .
"As a woman, a mother, a former teacher, and an elected official, I find this material completely unacceptable," McCollum said of Franken's piece, published in 2000 under the headline "Porn-O-Rama!"
"I can tell you it's not playing comfortably in St. Paul, and I can't imagine this politically radioactive material is doing very well in suburban and rural districts," McCollum said.

A bit of background:

At one point in the Playboy piece titled "Porn-O-Rama!" Franken called the Internet a "terrific learning tool," writing that his 12-year-old son was able to use it for a sixth-grade report on bestiality.

That there's funny, I don't care who you are. He's good enough, he's smart enough and, doggone it, people like him!

Some of the raunchy excerpts here.
