Franken: No joke
Newly-sworn in Senator Al Franken's first formal appearance at a Senate Democratic meeting was apparently no laughing matter to Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Franken was a writer and comic on "Saturday Night Live," and as of about noon Tuesday is Minnesota's junior senator.
After a closed-door session with fellow Democrats Tuesday afternoon, Reid announced with a sly grin, "Senator Franken gave me a few jokes he thought I should share with you, but I didn't like them. So I'm not going to do it."
