Script Of "History" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Inappropriate. Indefensible. Shocking. Uncomfortable.

(Text on screen: Star Tribune, 5/30/08; Associated Press, 5/30/08; Pioneer Press, 7/8/04)

All words describing Al Franken's work from leading Minnesota Democrats. His Democrat opponent's ad even says this:

PRISCILLA LORD FARIS: No matter how many millions he spends, it is clear that his history of pornography, degrading women and minorities, and his questionable financial transactions will continue to be the focus.

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Al Franken. In the words of other Democrats.

NORM COLEMAN [v/o]: I'm Norm Coleman, and I approved this message.
