That's awesome.

Senator Al Franken draws all of the fifty states from memory.

I just don't have the words to describe the pure awesome that is that video clip.

Seriously, there are representatives who can't NAME all fifty states, much less draw a map of the entire country.

And, yet, people still didn't want him to be elected.

He's good enough, he's smart enough and, gosh darn it, I like him!

Thanks! It's really too bad I moved out of MN before he became senator.

Wow.

I saw him do this years ago on an SNL news segment. It really is a huge talent!

being able to say "Senator Al Franken" is pretty awesome all by itself. :D

OMG, THIS!!!

[identity profile] foenix.livejournal.com 2009-09-07 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Damnit.

Another person that makes me look around and go "What have I DONE with my life?!" ;)

But wow!

That is awesome.

Apparently, he's done it on TV 20 years ago...

First of all, is the background music the Animaniac's 50 states tune?

Secondly, Sen. Al Franken is quickly becoming my favorite politician of the current Congress.

No, the Animaniacs 50 States song was set to "Turkey in the Straw." Which I now have stuck in my head.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana / Indianapolis, Indiana / and Columbus is the capital of O-hi-o...

That is pretty impressive. WOW.

[identity profile] hellziggy.livejournal.com 2009-09-08 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, that's my Senator! *grin*

I doubt Norm Coleman would have been able to name all 50 states, much less draw them!
