U.S. Sen. Al Franken said goodbye to staff members and supporters in Minneapolis on Thursday night, in his first public appearance in Minnesota since being accused of sexual harassment.
Franken will officially step down from the Senate on Tuesday, with his successor Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith scheduled to be sworn in Wednesday to complete Frankens term, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported.
The Democrat, a former "Saturday Night Live" writer and performer, said he didn't know what to expect when he first ran for office, and of course, neither did Minnesotans.

Frankens departure will come about seven months after the publication of his latest book, Al Franken: Giant of the Senate.
One last punchline.

LOL. I was in Barnes and Noble recently, and they had a huge stack of Franken’s books. Not too many buyers after the revelations about him.

It’s hard to get sentimental over a myopic, do-nothing dork.

Big difference between Franken and Bill Clinton is Clinton was likable where Franken just comes across as a smug, creepy and dorky jerk.

So what kind of pension is he going to pull in now? A pension for eight and a half years service? Maybe around $22 or $23 thousand a year.
