Al Franken Sets The Record Straight About His Hot Aides

Today Democratic Senator from Minnesota Al Franken was a guest on the FM107.1 show “Ian & Margery”. During the interview, Ian asked Senator Franken about a recent posting on the website Buzzfeed titled, “Al Franken’s Hot Aides“. The text on the Buzzfeed posting reads:
‘ One of the perks of being Senator of Minnesota is that you get to surround yourself with attractive women. I think it’s in the state constitution or something.’
The conversation between Senator Franken and Ian and Margery Punnett of “Ian & Margery” went something like this:
Ian Punnet (IP): … (do you have any) comments on having the hottest aides in Washington Senator Franken?
Senator Franken (SF): I have a great staff, and many of the men on the staff are very good looking.
Margery Punnet (MP): … that’s par for the course in Washington. It is the land of good looking young people.
SF: I’m 58 and most of my staff does look better than me.
IP: Maybe that’s part of it? In the photos they’re standing next to you?
SF: Yes, the contrast. Usually they are behind me so they also get the benefit of a soft focus.

DC is not the “land of good looking young people.” New transplants learn quickly the unofficial motto of the city is “The Hollywood for ugly people.” It’s an open joke among Washingtonians, especially those on The Hill. Fantastic city and people otherwise.
