John Moe, who I guess works for Amazon, defines Franken as follows:
Franken occupies a unique place in the modern political dialogue as perhaps the media's only comedy writer and performer who is also a Harvard fellow as well as a liberal political commentator. This unique and vaguely lonely position lends a charming quixotic quality to adventures such as a tense encounter with the Fox News staff at the National Press Club, a challenge to fisticuffs with National Review Editor Rich Lowry, and an oddly sweet admissions visit to ultra-conservative Bob Jones University (with a young research assistant posing as his son when Franken's real-life son refuses to participate in the charade).

So it is still comedy that he writes. Or is this guy mistaken?

'The only way to avoid getting crushed by absurdity, is to humbly include the absurd in our calculations.'
