Al Franken Defends Minority Hiring Record

In a letter to the National Review posted Friday, Air America host Al Franken responded to a piece that noted the hipocrisy of Franken’s criticism of minority hiring practices yet “apparently couldn’t find any non-white research assistants for his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them … or writers for Saturday Night Live when he was an executive producer there … or researchers and producers for Air America.” The piece, by Catherine Seipp, refers to Peter Schweizer‘s Do As I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy.
