Why Not Me? The Inside Story of the Making and Unmaking of the Franken Presidency is a satirical novel by comedian (and future United States Senator) Al Franken, detailing his unlikely candidacy to become the President of the United States in the 2000 Presidential Election. The book was published in 1999.
In the novel, Franken bases his campaign on the issues of eliminating high ATM fees and the deregulation of banking laws (which would benefit insurance companies). Through various illegal and unethical activities, he eventually manages to fluster his Democratic rival, Al Gore, and wins the Democratic nomination. Franken is elected due in part to massive feuding within the Republican Party. However, a serious gaffe committed by Franken during his inauguration speech causes Franken to become manic depressive, causing him to display strange and dangerous behavior. After the embarrassing contents of his campaign diary are disclosed, Franken is forced to resign from office.
You're standing right in front of me
With a purpose I can't see
I wish I knew whats on your mind
But thats a key I'll never find
I wanna know what I did wrong
I really waited for so long
To be alone with you again
I bet your game will never end
And everybody knows your name
You're driving everyone insane
I saw you flirting with that guy
It made me jealous don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But when all you said and done
You wonder who your date would be
I wonder, Katherine, why not me?
Tonight is dark and you are gone
Again I'm wondering on my lawn
I guess I'll never know the truth
About the secrets from your youth
And if you played me all those times
I kind of thought that you'll be mine
But when I realize your world
You're just a happy little girl
And everybody knows your name
You're driving everyone insane
I saw you flirting with that guy
It made me jealous don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But when all you said and done
You wonder who your date would be
I wonder, Katherine, why not me?
Katherine why not me
(Katherine why not me?)
Katherine why not me
(Katherine why not me?)
You know I'm glad that you're my friend
I hope this story never ends
But there are times I nearly cry
You make me weak I don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But If you'd like to have some fun
Wherever you might want to be
Just say Katherine, why not me?
And everybody knows your name
You're driving everyone insane
I saw you flirting with that guy
It made me jealous don't know why
I know I'm not the only one
But when all you said and done
You wonder who your date would be
I wonder, Katherine, why not me?
