U.S. Sen. Al Franken said goodbye to staff members and supporters in Minneapolis on Thursday night, in his first public appearance in Minnesota since being accused of sexual harassment.

Franken will officially step down from the Senate on Tuesday, with his successor – Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith – scheduled to be sworn in Wednesday to complete Franken’s term, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported.

The Democrat, a former "Saturday Night Live" writer and performer, said he didn't know what to expect when he first ran for office, “and of course, neither did Minnesotans.”

Franken’s departure will come about seven months after the publication of his latest book, “Al Franken: Giant of the Senate.”

One last punchline.

I knew what to expect....EMBARRASSMENT!

One clown down. So many more to go.

[a fool in paradise]

Accused?
Exposed!

LOL. I was in Barnes and Noble recently, and they had a huge stack of Franken’s books. Not too many buyers after the revelations about him.

It’s hard to get sentimental over a myopic, do-nothing dork.

[HLPhat]

He belongs in is entitled to be in jail.

[Kirkwood]

So what kind of pension is he going to pull in now?
Gone, but we’re still paying for it.

[Getready]

Well...the repubs had their Swarzenegger..what do you want if most people despite the oppurtunities are seriously ill-informed?

[MomwithHope]

Darn it....people like him!

[Grampa Dave]

One anti America and sexual predator clown down. So many more to go.

He must have been beautiful baby, but Baby won't you look at him now......

<'>Good night you slime, good night you slime
Some times I live in the country
Some times I live in town
Some times I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

They wrote songs about him....

Big difference between Franken and Bill Clinton is Clinton was likable where Franken just comes across as a smug, creepy and dorky jerk.

[EdnaMode]

Bye bye Al!

[Starboard]

One clown down. So many more to go.

Only to be replaced by other clowns.

To wit, Will Rogers once said: “I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.”

Cue up Smokey Robinson...

So what kind of pension is he going to pull in now?

A pension for eight and a half years service? Maybe around $22 or $23 thousand a year.
