Remember when Al Franken incited treason, gave a tour to traitors and so forth?

And then refused to resign?

1. I do not recall that, Senator!

2. I remember when his fellow Dem Senators threw him under the bus when there was a GOP hit job on him,

and he resigned immediately for the good of the party.

4. That was a sickening, disgusting move

One of the times I've been ashamed to call myself a Democrat...

3. No.

But I do recall him serving our country by entertaining our troops in a war zone with a mildly risqué stage show. He was rewarded for that, wasn't he?

6. I don't believe so,

unlike rightwingers who scammed he hell out of their phony "support the military" operations, Franken did USO tours and other things voluntarily and without pay. And he also didn't milk that for attention. He just did it because it was a good thing to do.

5. I just remember President Obama wearing a tan suit...

And FEMA had to be deployed, schools and daycare centers evacuated, National Guard on standby, Red Cross volunteers overworked, etc.

7. The Republicans can't can't be blamed for Al Franken.

That was a self inflicted wound.
