So ran a puff piece, promoted by yahoo. The yahoo comments finally provide some comic relief.

Do not understand why he is still a senator. And yet Bill Clinton did not resign either.

I don’t support Franken in any way and I especially
reject his politics. However, in terms of career
choices he is similar to Trump and so many other men
and even some women who decide to enter politics
as elected officials after careers in other endeavors.

We are seeing today that the behavior expectations of
politicians is different than other vocations and a
person’s pre political life is fair game and that is
as it should be, I guess. I don’t defend those who
may have had a morally dubious pre political career.
Many others who enter politics later in life were
morally upstanding throughout their lives so good
for them.

On the other hand, and this is the whole point of
this post: consider Bill Clinton. Here is a man who
spent his whole adult life as a politician. He always
knew that standards were higher in his chosen career
but he chose the moral habits of a dog for his
personal code of conduct and he got away with it.

It simultaneously disgusts and fascinates me.

The Senate needs to expell him.

Both count(ed) on being judged by a jury of their peers.

These men who look like Franken and go around grabbing woman’s breasts and fannies almost always seem to look like the old -”he couldn’t pick up a whore in a Cadillac with a fistful of 100 dollar bill type men.” We used to joke about those types in the 60’s, but; they are not funny when they use a powerful position/job to threaten and coerce.

It will be interesting to see if Frankenstein gets away with this. Tough to get the toothpaste back in the tube.

AL Franken is the de facto representation of the Democrat Party.

“I’ve met tens of thousands of people and taken thousands of photographs, often in crowded and chaotic situations. I’m a warm person; I hug people,” according to Franken.
*****************

Maybe he’s confessing to having groped thousands of people.

Was the slush fund-hush fund set up for members of the House only or House and Senate?

“Warm person” Good grief. In reality he is a hybrid between Biden and Alec Baldwin. Everything where it shouldn’t be and a hot headed Thug to the core.
