Oh, this can’t be because FReepers said he’d never resign.

So officially he will be a senator into 2018. I wonder if that resignation date in 2018 means anything as far as pension or health or other benefits for him.

I’ll believe it when I see it. And if he goes, it will be because he’s got a job as a lobbyist or TV personality that pays more than he made as a senator.

He may vote to kill babies, but his replacement has hands-on experience doing it.

I would like to see him stay in the Senate. He is a fantastic example of what the Rats have become as the opposition party. Besides, MN isn’t going to put anyone else who is any better.

At least until someone tells him (with a fist to the cheek), that "he isn't good enough, smart enough...and, doggone it, people just don't like him."

Pussified men like Franken drive regular men to brutal extremes just to escape any comparison.
