Who is going to get taken down next?
"Wild Kingdom" was never this much fun. Now, "The Far Side"...

It is remarkable to note that as Congress wrestles with enormously significant legislative proposals that the biggest story in Washington (or any place else) remains the “reckoning” over workplace sexual harassment.
Now, we know that part of this is prurient. Talking about sexual conduct, even in a negative context, is always going to be more interesting than corporate tax rates.
But the other, more significant part of all this is that the direction and work of the government very much depends on how these matters play out and who is the next to fall.
Democrats are currently bowing to reality about Rep. John Conyers D-Mich. Conyers, 88, has been checked into a Detroit hospital, having succumbed to “stress.” Whether the longest-serving House member leaves claiming physical incapacity or ends up acknowledging the severity of the allegations of misconduct against him doesn’t matter.
With House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi going from defending Conyers the “icon” on Sunday to calling for his resignation on today, it’s clear he won’t be able to stick it out for another year. Perhaps the staff that has held power and profited by Conyers position, even well into his dotage, can only convince him to explain his departure by infirmity. But go, he will.
This, of course, makes matter much worse for Minnesota Sen. Al Franken. Almost daily, new accusers continue to step forward claiming that Franken engaged in nearly identical behavior to that which forced his lame apology last week.

Franken will sweat it out. He will not resign. Instead, he will offer various blubbering apologies. And if he chooses to run for re-election, he will win.
Because here’s the way it works. If a conservative definitely crosses the line, he must resign, period. But if a liberal definitely crosses the line, he must not resign, unless the evidence is overwhelming.
Talk to any liberal you know. He will tell you that Al Franken was just kidding around. Or that Steve Bannon framed Franken. Franken will remain in the Senate until a damning picture has surfaced.
Oh, wait. A damning picture has surfaced. No matter. Al was just kidding around. Or Bannon faked the picture. Vote Al Franken 2020! He won’t grope you...anymore.
After all, he’s good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, the people of Minnesota like him.
I believe there are hundreds of such photos. It’s how he keeps score

Who is going to get taken down next?
"Wild Kingdom" was never this much fun. Now, "The Far Side"...
LOL!
I regret to say this, but I have to come forward.
Last year I was in Washington DC for a party where members of congress, scotus and the press attended. At the party I had a little too much to drink and wound up crashing in the hosts eldest child’s bedroom.
I remember hearing a woman’s voice saying, I want to do it to him again. The other two, (I remember hearing 3 voices) said, yeah, he be from NYC, I like it. I awoke only to find my pants around my ankles and Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan were getting dressed.
Should I report this? I understand it gives Trump 3 more picks for SCOTUS since they would have to resign.
Dont bother...its “old news.” wmirk
They keep their hands to themselves.
This steaming pile masquerading as a Franken hit piece is actually a screw Roy Moore screed.
Such a lovely couple, and they deserve each other.
TODAY’S NEWS: conyers blames media for his hiding in hospital due to stress he was outed, won’t run in 2018. Bad news his district will elect another just like him!
