LOL!! Translation: “Al, we got that seat in Alabama. We don’t need the moral high ground any longer.”
Frankin never had any intention of resigning. Just put on another BS comedy act until the heat cooled down. What a despicable turd.
And Hillary......she lambasted women who dared accuse her husband....but only b/c it threatened her political ambitions.
The Clinton are nothing but parasites.
Bill knew the women were telling the truth but he let Hillary confiscate our tax dollars to setup her Bimbo Eruption Team that operated against Willy’s women for eight years......on our dime.
I hope he stays he’s a moron and any one appointed will be as or liberal but not as tainted.
As much as I dislike Franken, he should not resign. He should set an example about due process and the rule of law.
The Media witch hunts should not have a veto on Senators or any elected office.
This is ridiculous.
Here we have PICTURES of his sexually inappropriate behavior and it’s being glossed over by the dems.
The mere accusation of a Republican of anything that even smacks of impropriety, the guy is tarred and feathered and run out of town.
The hypocrisy is just mind blowing.
Surprise surprise surprise
It was all a SNL head-fake.
Al Franken just groped the nation.
Any criticism of any Republican should have rung hollow after Kennedy and Clinton.
Enough is enough already.
Who didn’t know this was going to happen? Of course it was. That’s why his speech wasn’t a resignation speech.
And we read it here first. FReepers predicted this from the start.
Right on cue. A lot of people saw this one coming. Senatorial power and prestige are too sweet to give up lightly. (Just ask Ted Kennedy and John McCain.) That’s why Franken issued his non-apologies and non-resignation. His speech was a sham and folks knew it when he gave it.
The 4 senators who think this is OK should resign along with Franken.
Yes, please don’t reseign, Sen. Gropenstein!!!
After he feels out the voters, Sen. Gropenstein may even want to run again!
Agreed. Our slow but deliberate justice system also serves to shed emotion and cyclical fluctuations in hype and agenda from driving application of laws and ethics. It also lets the smell hang and linger on when it comes to the really bad players. That stays with the public.
Franken would be challenged in the Dem primary and lose. He is a dead man walking. The governor of MN has already announced that a woman, the Lt Gov, will be his replacement. She used to work for Planned Parenthood among other things.
No problem. They'll find one...
He probably gets more of a pension if he resigns after January 3rd...if he resigns at all.
...the vermin prefer with vigor, with great fanfare, the first woman president
I wish that were so. Politicians count on their constituents having short memories and shorter attention-spans.
The reason for the double-standard is that the Republican ‘leadership” always eats their own. Their are a cesspool of degenerates but like the nobility in England, the GOP likes the pretence of being holier than thou. The Dems can have a rapist in the White House, but the GOP turns on a Senate candidate over 40 year old allegations that are discredited. The ultimate hypocrites are in the GOPe.
