Franken is STILL cracking me up!
Check out this article. The funniest part is the text of the letter he sent to Ashcroft. When you consider the other names, it just cracked me up!

I hope it brings a smile to you.

1. "Did a young woman ever think you were homosexual"
<snip>
In June, Franken wrote to Ashcroft requesting his personal story, adding that he had already received testimonials from National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and values guru William J. Bennett, among others.

In encouraging Ashcroft to submit his story, Franken asked the attorney general to reveal honest and personal details about his younger days.

"Don't be afraid to share a moment when you were tempted to have sex, but were able to overcome your urges through willpower and strength of character. Be funny!" Franken wrote. "Did a young woman every think you were homosexual just because you wouldn't have sex with her? Be serious! Were you ever taunted and made to feel bad or 'uncool' because of your choice? But most of all, be real. Kids can sense a phony a mile away."

Franken wrote his request to Ashcroft on letterhead from Harvard University's Shorenstein Center for Press and Politics (search) at the Kennedy School of Government, where he was a fellow during the spring term.
