Last night at around 8 p.m., Al Franken, who is here on behalf of Air America, got into a shoving match with Laura Ingraham's producer. The two men argued about whether Franken had agreed to go on Laura's show and then reneged. The producer started to walk away, but Franken chased him, yelling insults, and the altercation followed. Here is a photo:

As I recall, this isn't the first fight Franken has been in in recent months. Maybe the strain of trying to prop up the Kerry campaign is starting to tell.
