Comedian and Future Senator Al Franken With a Hilarious Performance at the 1996 WHCP

Comedian Al Franken, a Clinton fan who at one point refers to himself as "the president's water carrier," delivers a hilarious performance with mostly Republican targets. Franken makes impressions of Al D'Amato and Strom Thurmond. Some Dole jokes. A Bill Bennett joke. A Christy Todd Whitman joke. Buchanan jokes. An Enid Waldholtz joke, etc. Almost all delighting this crowd. The future Minnesota Senator made a "joke" about Newt Gingrich, his daughter, and menstruation. Soon after, Gingrich encountered Franken and told him that, were Gingrich not a public figure, he'd have punched the comic out.
