Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.) publicly criticized ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) her party’s likely Senate nominee, comedian Al Franken, for a satirical column he wrote for Playboy magazine in 2000, telling the Associated Press his writings were “pornographic” and “indefensible.”
McCollum said that she found the article offensive and believes it will be a serious political problem for the party’s downballot Congressional candidates. McCollum had endorsed Franken’s primary rival, attorney Mike Ciresi, before he dropped out of the race.
"I’m a woman, I'm a mother, I'm a former teacher, and an elected official," McCollum told Politico. "This material makes me question the judgment of someone who would write this. And this person is now a candidate representing Minnesota."
Franken’s eight-year-old article, titled “Porn-O-Rama,” describes a visit to an imaginary sex institute where he takes part in sexual acts with humans and machines. The column included many graphic sexual descriptions.
