WASHINGTON – Sen. Al Franken plans to stay in the U.S. Senate and try to win back Minnesotans’ trust.
The Minnesota Democrat, who has been accused by four women — two of them anonymously — of inappropriate contact, issued a Thanksgiving afternoon apology and pledge. He wrote that he “feels terribly that I’ve made some women feel badly.” He called himself “a warm person” who likes to hug people when they’re being photographed with him, but clearly, his embrace “crossed a line for some women.”

It’s not your call dumb s***.
I do trust that he’s a perv.
How about a BIG group hug?
I don’t think there’s any evidence that the voters of Minnesota have any sort of problem with Al Franken.
How many opinion polls have been done of Minnesota’s feelings about Franken?
How many have been done of Alabama’s feelings about Judge Moore?
Franken is Ted Kennedy -— without the dead girl.
There was never any serious risk of resigning for essentially posing for some gag photos and hitting on a few women.
Winning back Minnesotans’ trust will be easier than fondling a sleeping woman. After all, he’s good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, people there like him.
Can a leopard change it’s spots? Not without the Lord’s help. Kind of doubt he’s gotten desperate enough to go there.
When a politician says “gain the trust” what he/she really means is “pull one over on.”
"You look tired. Why don't you take a little nap?"
LOL! Good one.
Apparently it's possible since he won re-election by 10 points. He's got two years for this to blow over.
Yes! Al Franken STAY!
If Senator Franken is, eventually, replaced, through an appointment by Minnesota’s D governor, Mark Dayton, then the replacement will, probably, be Keith Ellison. Is it better to keep Senator Franken, or to replace him with Keith Ellison, who may end up being, even, worse than Senator Franken, on most to all issues? Or, are they the same, on most to all of the issues?
I think he would be worse.
He will easily regain their trust by promising to steal even more of other folk’s money. Same way he got their vote, er, trust in the first place.
He can regain trust by accepting responsibility and quitting the senate.
He just likes to hug their nipples and butts.
We’re with you Al! Don’t take any crap from them Republicans!
(...at least until after Moore is seated)
Minnesota's voters knew what they were getting. It's up to them to decide, next election. It's the same as in Alabama....the voters, not outside manipulated forces, should decide what issues matter.
In my mind, the real issue is those DC Swampthings who had federal hush money or money from other illegal sources paid to quiet their misdeeds. They are the ones who should go. So should anyone who enabled this practice.
