"This was Al's idea, of course," says Huffington of the publicity photo for Strange Bedfellows, the duo's planned Comedy Central spots from the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Franken, for his part, says he wants Huffington to help his credibility by doing all her coverage in a negligee.
