WASHINGTON (CNN) — It’s only his first Senate hearing, but Sen. Al Franken took the chairman’s seat at the Judiciary Committee Wednesday.
When Chairman Patrick Leahy experienced a technical problem with his microphone, Franken volunteered to switch places with the Vermont senator, and sit in Leahy’s chair. Faced with little choice, Leahy ambled down to the far end of the dais, and sat in the junior senator’s chair to finish his prepared written statement. Franken, meanwhile, sat in Leahy’s chair smiling from ear to ear.
