Al Franken has won the Minnesota Democratic Senator seat by 312 votes to Republican incumbent Norman Cole.
Cole is not going down without a fight, sending the vote count to federal courts so that even more taxpayer dollars head down the drain.
Are politicians the new celebrity? Other than Dancing with the Stars comebacks and Twitter-rama, the allure of Brangelina has lost its sheen with reality TV and Obamamania.
Franken had his last stint as a lame-duck comedian during the Presidential election.
Incidentally, it's impossible to find any video clips of Al Franken as Stuart Smalley on the Internet, which is disappointing. That's a remnant of pop culture the Franken team is erasing! And what's wrong with starting a career in politics at SNL? Surely it's important to have a sense of humor; just ask George Bush Jr.
