You know he will cry.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Damn! I was hoping he would tell the Dem. Senators to take a hike and that he was staying.

[wyowolf]

Hope he doesnt weasel out...

[grobdriver]

Oh, good.

Just in time for Rush to ream him a new one, regardless what he says.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

As I understand it, Senators are allowed to lie while speaking on the Senate floor.<br.
Ask Harry Reid why he was never prosecuted ...

[Mr. K]

I hope he has a list of others he is taking down with him.

The rats are clearing the decks so they can ramp up the attacks on Trump and Moore.

[BenLurkin]

He will be replaced by someone even worse.

The suspense is killing me...

[robroys woman]

I wonder if he still likes himself.

[Ted Grant]

I thought he said no decidion had been made as of yesterday.

Also, addressing the Senate seems like a poor venue to resign.

Wait and see.

Al is falling on his sword. Who’s the Shakespearean character who did that?

Diaper Boy is probably wearing a size XXXXXL adult overnight hospital diaper this morning. He’s going to have a full pant load shortly.

Wish he’d stay, not resign. This has all been so entertaining!

Hopefully Perv Al’s temporary replacement will be a bigger fool than he is.

[tennmountainman]

AL, please don’t go. Hang in there buddy.

[LostInBayport]

It would a hoot if he dragged a full length mirror out there and had a Stuart Smalley conversation with himself, ending with a self-groping before the men with the white coats throw a net over him and drag him away.

Trump for sure. Last night Cnn had a new grope accuser that said Trump groped her on a plane once.
