Franken on Class Warfare

Franken on Class Warfare

What a lovely sentiment:

Al Franken, in trying to discredit the Rep claim that the Dems approach to taxes ("Only the RICH will pay more taxes!") is class warfare, recounted the charming story of a peasant revolt in France in 1350 (according to him).

In this Grimm tale, peasants stormed a castle, cornered the knight who lived there with his wife and children, stuck the knight on a spit, roasted him, and then forced the wife to eat pieces of this "entrée" while the kids watched. "THAT'S class warfare," said Franken. (approx. 12:45 PM CST 04-041-04)

Even Franken's co-host seemed appalled by this story. I could hear it in her voice.

Immediately after this, the cut to commercial and then went on to other topics when the resumed.

Maybe that was bright production by their tech guy, maybe it just so happened before a commercial break. I am guessing the first since this show is brand new out of the box.
