I'm Still Mad About Al Franken! [View all]

I'm still so mad about Franken! I think this is what Gillibrand should have said, "Look, I would like to believe the women who are accusing Senator Franken of inappropriate behavior, but I can't blindly believe one side or the other. It needs to be investigated. I don't want to just believe one side and say that the other side is lying without a thorough investigation. And, unless an investigation is done, which Senator Franken is all for, we as the female Senators in Congress will not ask Senator Franken to step down."

I bet if Gillibrand had said this, that would have shut up Lee Anne Tweeden (or whatever her name was) and the other woman!
