HereÂ’s hoping we can get Bill OÂ’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved and Rush Limbaugh into congressional or senatorial races somewhere in the country to counter-balance this likely win eventual win in Minnesota.

Comedian Al Franken announced Wednesday that he will run for the Senate in 2008, seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Norm Coleman.

Franken's announcement came on the final day of his show on the liberal radio network Air America. The decision by the former "Saturday Night Live" performer instantly makes him a serious contender and brings national attention to the race.

Well, for the sake of his ego letÂ’s hope that he is a more serious contender in the senatorial race than he was as a talk radio host.

And let me make this observation – if hosting a talk radio show constitutes credential that qualifies someone for public office, perhaps the GOP ought to run former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett for the presidency in 2008.
