Out . . .


. . . of proportion; a frequent condition of things in the political arena . . .



(from Al Franken: Giant of the Senate by Al Franken)
". . . New Ulm, (MN) was founded by German immigrants. . . (and) boasts an enormous monument to Arminius, the Germanic warrier who led the slaughter of twelve to fifteen thousand Romand soldiers in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. . . . locals call the . . . statue "Hermann the German". . . while addressing a small crowd one fall afternoon in 2007, I'm standing in the shadow of a massive monument to Hermann the German. And I had been in comedy for thirty-five years. So what immediately occurred to me was: "Now, I grew up in St. Louis Park, and we had a much smaller statue than Hermann the German here. Ours was called 'Stu the Jew.'" But I didn't!  I didn't say it!. . .  it would get written up not as "Coleman Takes Hilarious Franken Joke Way, Way, Ridiculously out of Context," but as "Republicans Slam Franken for Blaming Holocaust on New Ulm.". . . "
