Al Franken's sketchy habit at the Kagan confirmation hearing

Who knew? Al Franken has ratcheted back the funny ever since he got elected to the Senate, but he let a surprising bit of his creative side sneak out during Tuesday's confirmation hearings for Elena Kagan -- doodling a sketch of his fellow Judiciary Committee member Sen. Jeff Sessions, as caught here by an AP photographer. With those heavy brows, he makes the Alabama Republican (that day's toughest interrogator) look a little too Chris Dodd-ish, but still, not bad.

Sorry the Senator finds the hearings so boring. He's either falling asleep or drawing doodles.
Looks to me that I'm looking at a cartoon drawing a cartoon.

Jeff Sessions the "toughest" interrogator? Maybe idiotic or embarrassing, but toughest? gimme a break.

Franken moonlights as a court sketch artist. He is also an amateur dental hygenist. What a renaissance man...
