True.

But it's also because Twitter is "the sound of the guns".

I'm over there most of the time.

That coincides with the NYT thinking that Hickory should not have lost.

Notice Moore fought his allegations while these others are not?

Yeppers. :)

“Al has to leave whether he wants to or not. The people want him out.”

And Franken will obey the people’s will!!? It is to laugh!

He’s not going anywhere since he has no private sector skills. From the Senate to middle aged unemployment? No way, Jose.

I really don’t like Frankenstein but it seems to me in most cases whenever a woman claims she was sexually harassed the man is automatically assumed guilty without due process.

NYT Op-Ed: Franken Shouldn't Have Resigned

Franken hasn't "technically" resigned - he just said he was going to in the future (and you know how a dem's word is).

I think crap like this article is exactly what he was looking for.

Could not agree more! I would have LOVED to watch the donkeys squirm when asked about Fish Lips still being in office.

I hope Al does stay, at least he’s not a baby killer like his replacement.

Franken SAID he was resigning.

He’s still there.

...Congress doesn’t have good procedures for dealing with harassment accusations.

Sure it does. And, from what I gather, it's topping out at about $15 million.

Now that a woman liberal dem has been appointed to replace Franken it will be tougher for him to back out of his announced retirement which he probably planned to do if Moore was elected....but she can of course offer Franken one free grope to keep his word and retire.

I wonder how his pension will be affected by waiting until 2018?

NYT reasoning: “Moore is out of the way, you can drop the act, Al.”
