even the old grey floozy wants him gone...

[MeanWestTexan]

There’s a photo of him. They have no choice.

Republicans, never particularly eager to hold their own to account

Since when?

[alloysteel]

When the Noo Yorik Tymes gets on your case, just give up.

When a liberal has lost the backing of NYT, then you are officially badly burned toast.

Al Gropen, er, Franken should stop treating this as a big joke.

[robroys woman]

I’m no fan of him nor his politics, and I think he stole the election, but this is a stupid reason to dump him. This is what powerful men do. There is no story here. That goes for Moore, et al. People need to snap out of this foolishness.

Or we can just elect all women and see how THAT goes.

[SandRat]

Go and NEVER, EVER, come back!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

He should go, and the governor should appoint a woman to fill his seat.

I agree. He should appoint Michele Bachmann.

[blueunicorn6]

Isn’t Michelle Bachman from Minnesota?

She’d make a good Senator.

[Grampa Dave]

The Tweet that may have taken out a sexual predator $inator!

[scottinoc]

the governor should appoint a woman to fill his seat

Couldn't agree more

[rightwingcrazy]

And Menendez? They must feel that they’ve successfully buried the news on him from the public.

[pgkdan]

even the old grey floozy wants him gone...

Why not? They get to be 'virtuous' with no ill effects. MN has a dem Governor and he'll just appoint another stinking rat.

[MNDude]

I want him to stay! The Never Trumper rino on AM radio in the morning said “Franken needs to set the standard so Moore resigns too!”

[Moonman62]

even the old grey floozy wants him gone...

...

Not really. They want Trump and Roy Moore gone.

[mazda77]

“Republicans, never particularly eager to hold their own to account,”

No, they skewer them before the facts are in so their “good friends” on the other side of the aisle won’t hold them to the account.

[Obadiah]

...we’re going to have to figure out some mechanism by which those accused of offenses that fall short of assault can make amends and get their lives back.

He should go, and the governor should appoint a woman to fill his seat.

The message to men in power about sexual degradation has to be clear: We will replace you.

The feminist gestapo is on the rise.

What -- precisely -- are "offenses short of assault"? Flirting? A casual an innocent remark? And what "amends" or more accurately, what ransom will these feminists approve of in order for a man to get his life back?

Why must the governor appoint a woman to fill this seat?

The national decent into the great Salem sexual harassment witch trials has begun.

[RooRoobird20]

Of course, the dumb@ss writer has to say that the fake allegations against Trump are the equivalent of Franken’s proven disgusting behavior.

Typical Slimes fake news tactic.

[A_perfect_lady]

They are hoping that if they dump Franken they can now say, "Okay, we dumped him, you have to dump Trump."

To which I say, "If you go back in time to the 1990s and get rid of Bill Clinton, THEN I will consider dumping Trump. Until your time machine is ready, kiss off."

[ex91B10]

>>...we can’t just go around ruining people’s lives and careers by retroactively imposing today’s sexual standards on past actions.<<

If we can't impose "today's standards" to past actions, I guess all this crap anout confederate icons will stop.

[ealgeone]

Think of chess. Frankken is a pawn and can easily be sacrificed as MN guv is a dim.

Losing Bama's Senate seat to a dim would be like losing a rook.

Tossing Al overboard is not a big deal politically. Dims will be able to say, see, we handle our women abusers and the GOP defends theirs.
