Al Franken on Drugs DFL Challenger

A: Well, first of all, I am on opposite Rush, and we are pledging to do drug-free radio.

Q: If you or someone in your family had a substance abuse problem, would you be offended if other people mocked it?

A: Yes, unless they were such a public hypocrite about it. When my friend Jerry Garcia died, Rush Limbaugh called him, “Just another dead doper. And a dirt bag.”
