Fox host: Franken 'writing' McCain SNL skit can't 'possibly be legal'David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Monday September 22, 2008

The already convoluted story linking comedian-turned-candidate Al Franken to a Saturday Night Live sketch mocking John McCain was blown further out of proportion on Monday, when the hosts of Fox and Friends insisted that Franken had personally written the sketch in question.

"Not only is he running for Senate in Minnesota, he also had to phone in a sketch to Lorne Michaels," began Brian Kilmeade. "They've been friends for 30 years ... and they've both maxxed out on their contributions to Barack Obama."

"We've talked extensively on this program about how NBC does appear to be in the tank for Barack Obama," added Steve Doocy. "They've got this hit job on John McCain written by Al Franken, who is running for Senate in the state of Minnesota."

Since Brian Kilmeade can't fact check, let me take 10 seconds of my time to do it for him:

3. Poor lamb. He's out of his league. That's what happens when you promote dimwitted sportscasters.

Like Palin, of course.

4. Al used to do that bit on his radio show

It was a lot funnier on his radio show than it was on SNL.
