But rewrite-room excuses didnt fly in the 24/7 reality of the campaign, and the joke almost killed Frankens campaign. It landed on the eve of the Minnesota convention where he hoped to be chosen as the Democratic nominee to face Coleman. He made the dangerous move of addressing the controversy in a raw convention speech. It kills me that things I said and wrote sent a message to some of my friends in this room and people in this state that they cant count on me to be a champion for women, a champion for all Minnesotans, in this campaign and in the Senate, he told the crowd. Im sorry for that. He went on to acknowledge hed written and told some offensive jokes over the years, that hed made some folks uncomfortable, and ended: But Im in this race because there are some people in Washington who could afford to feel a little less comfortable. And he promised the first person hed make uncomfortable was Norm Coleman.

Franken is a giant sexual pedator and stalker.
But then, so was Norm Coleman.

Hey—this article took several months to crash and burn.
The MSM’s “Russia, Russia, Russia” stories can’t pass the laugh out loud test for twenty four hours.

Al Franken, Gnat of the Senate
To: horsappl
I’ve heard that Franken sees himself as a tough guy also. He has physically threatened people at DC functions because, like most Leftists, he believes that he would be justified in violently assaulting Conservatives.

Totally transparent and expected. Franken would gladly fall on his sword for a chance to get at Moore or Trump.
ALWAYS remember. Every leftist call for justice is a scheme for more power.
