In case you were wondering...

Al Franken's still got it. The new senator, member of 4 unions, with National Labor Relations Board nominee (long held by McCain) Craig Becker:

Franken: This is an unusual hearing. I’m new the Senate, but it’s unique. Only other board hearing was for a chair. This was at the insistence of one member who held your nomination. Did that member submit any questions to you?

Becker: No.

Franken: Really. He, or she didn’t submit any questions over all those months. Huh. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Harkin: Are your dues paid, Senator Franken?

Franken: Uh, for three unions.
