In 2004, Al Franken told the sign-language interpreter working at the Republican convention that he should have communicated to Al-Qaeda how to sneak into the White House to assassinate President George Bush.

FRANKEN: “You what would have been a really funny, stupid thing to do? Would have been, like, Al-Qaeda friends of mine, I’ve scoped out the place, the way to get the President is to come through the Kitchen, which is downstairs.”

After finishing his joke, Franken lets out a huge laugh…”HA-HA!”

Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey had this to say about the tasteless joke back in 2008:
