I doubt many FReepers ever had any intention of crying for Al Franken, Brent. But thanks for the advice.

[Salamander]

Not with a gun to my head...

[Cowboy Bob]

Sen. Al Franken, Comedian of Minnesota

Shouldn't that be:

Sen. Al Franken, alleged Comedian of Minnesota

[Pontiac]

Don't cry for Al Franken, who is rich and famous and has liberals feeling badly for him, despite all the accusers. Today's situational ethics didn't permit him to stay in the Senate and get the Kennedy treatment.

Well he wasn’t a Kennedy. He wasn’t Democrat Party royalty.

He wasn’t the Lion Liar of the Senate.

[Dragonspirit]

Nananana heyheyhey goodbye! Time to drink a cold one to the defeat of the former disgraced senator. Congrats Minnesota your long national nightmare is over!

That's a pretty dramatic decline from the heights just nine months ago, when the Post was preparing him for the White House.

Not to worry Posties, I understand Matt Lauer is looking for work. If he doesn’t work out there is Anthony Wiener, Eliot Spitzer, and even Harvey Weinstein. The list just keeps getting longer and longer.

*loosely to the tune “don’t cry for me Argentina”*

“Don’t cry for ole Princess Franken, truth is we never loved him.”

[Secret Agent Man]

He has not yet resigned.

He is not going to. He will say hes staying after Moore wins.

sorry, I don’t see how any one could have ever voted for public office a man dressed in a diaper posing as AL did many years ago. i don’t care if it was some joke or comedy skit or whatever. The guy has a screw loose somehow and not worthy of being taken seriously as a politician nor as a mature man.

You can't change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret.

- Al Franken

[trebb]

Nah - he was strong-armed into making the “gonna retire - somewhere down the road after the fix is in” so Chucky must have some crap on him - all so he could do the choreographed “It’s so unfair Trump is in the WH and Moore looks like he’s gonna be in the Senate” fake moral outrage bit.....

[Buckeye McFrog]

I personally suspect that Dem leadership cut a deal to get him to step down. After a quiet period his career in Hollywood is going to suddenly and mysteriously resurrect itself.
