    Would love to here about some of those crazy, after hours, cocaine fueled SNL parties that Franken got into. Probably better anything Trump Jr. has got up too.
    But seriously Al, you better hope that Winfield Adcock doesn't find out about this.... I mean he could destroy your reputation!

    I'll have to agree. I was thinking what I would do if I were him and I just realized that I'd change parties.

    That'd show em.

    I don't think he has. He says he will, but he hasn't.

    I expect he will hang on, and on, vote after vote.

    They won't. Taking the moral high ground here is stupid for the Dems. Hate to say it, but it's true. Dems need to be as nasty as those GOP bastards, period. Sucks.

    I don't see how the Dems could do anything different... if they're going to demand resignation from Republicans Moore and Trump for this behavior they have to be consistent even if that means losing one of their own.

    Seriously, the only difference is this came out after Franken is in office. Moore if he wins it is part of the package they voted for.

    Hypothetically speaking, if the world's best brain surgeon did exactly what Franken is supposed to have done should he or she quit their job?

    I don't think so, just stop being pervy.

    I get that, but it won't work. That's my point.

    I agree, it super sucks, I liked Franken's politics but I don't know how the Dems could let him stay and still speak up about Reps.

    I thought Franken a disgusting fellow before any revelations of his actions came forward. Pretty much the reason I do not think the guy will actual resign. Just talk about it. That would be consistant with his character.

    He's resigning. He announced it. I don't think he is a disgusting fellow. Ge is good man who made poor decisions. He was a damn good senator. Its unfotunate he has to go, but that is all that is left to do.

    I know nothing of the guy other than what he has been accused of with the 14 year old girl. That will do it.

    Well I didn’t think Al was that kind of guy. This really sucks. I’m wrong, but I’m glad the Dems showed moral convictions and demanded the same of their own as they do of others. It’s how actual progress is made.
