Query: Is Franken trying to be funny?

If Franken is trying to be funny in this work of fiction, then I missed the boat. All I see is a lot of petty and pernicious name-calling. Franken has taken the political discourse of this great country to a new low as he continues to spew forth unwarranted profanity-laced venomous vitriol - the likes of which our country had not accepted in the past, let alone witnessed. His conniption fit on Howard Dean's campaign stage was apoplectic at best as he childlishly pilloried Brit Hume with his nonsensical tirade - while Howard Dean looked on admiring the whole chirade. Unbelievable.
