The Rolling Stones: Under My Thumb (Video) ft. Al Franken

Ladies and gentlemen, you're next Senator from the fine state of Minnesota, Mick Jagger!

It seems too perfect that as soon as Al Franken's long, winding road to the Senate finally comes to fruition, the blogosphere gets a hold of a hilarious video of the former S.N.L. member prancing around in tights doing a Mick Jagger impersonation. Of course, it's not exactly a new thing for Minnesotans to elect politicians who previously spend their working hours in tights.

We welcome the newest member of the Senate, on the condition that he doesn't turn Iraq into another Altamont (too late?). [Talking Points Memo]
