Kirsten Gillibrand, two words as to why you went nowhere

70. Nah, she led the charge, and also threw Bill Clinton under the bus while she was at it. I heard...

her on 127 Progressive satellite radio when the Leann Tweeden accusation first came out. She called for Franken to step down before the other alleged accusers even came forward. In the interview she also said Bill Clinton should've resigned over the consensual Lewinsky affair. Right there she equated a consensual affair with the repug hit job accusation by Tweeden using a gag photo. And the Clintons were the ones who endorsed her and raised money for her to take Hillary's Senate seat. Loyalty certainly wasn't going to stand in her way though even though the Lewinsky affair was 20-year-old news.

There's no doubt she was the self-appointed ringleader of the get-Franken-out brigade. Others, Schumer included, joined in so that they wouldn't seem to be anti-woman.

Gullibility in falling for Roger Stone/Tweeden/Sean Hannity hit job on Franken, ambition for higher office and poor judgement does not a good candidate for president make—not to mention just over all blandness on the stump.

I'm glad the vast majority of Democrats had enough sense not to get behind her candidacy.
