Hopefully he'll have time to scope around for someplace to stay after he's sworn in.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Al Franken is traveling to Washington, D.C., later this month — but not for the reason you might think.
A spokeswoman says Democrat Franken and his wife, Franni, will attend the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama on Jan. 20.
Franken is awaiting a court challenge over whether he'll be able to claim a U.S. Senate seat. A state board certified that he won the election over Republican Norm Coleman by 225 votes. The pending challenge prevents Franken from getting sworn in as senator.
