Al Franken carries baggage!


Seen at National Airport in D.C. on Saturday afternoon May 2, Al Franken in person waiting at the luggage carillon to pick up bags.

Yeeks! A senator carrying baggage? Well, maybe it’s because he ain’t quite a senator yet so he lugs his own stuff.

Everyone knew who he was, and he graciously signed a book for an autograph seeker.

It was about three years ago that I saw him speak and sign books at the packed “Books a Million” shop in McLean and he cried, I mean he shed real tears, about Iraq. Most of the rest of us cried, too. (Don’t get me started about Iraq.)

Al, I hope you’ll always keep your head above water and continue to be part of us, the commoners, the voters, the people who matter, and resist "going out of your head" when you get to the Senate. Thank you.
