Well, it appears that Al Franken will resign.

[Moral Compass]

33. This is stupid

I really am having trouble believing this is happening.

This unilateral disarmament by the Democratic Party teaches the Republicans that all they have to do to win is to trot out some vaguely substantiated accusations and our own party will fall on itself like a pack of rabid dogs.

So, while a tax bill that has the potential to fully rollback the last vestiges of the New Deal is in play, and our only hope is to be a united front and maintain absolute message discipline— the senior female leadership of the Democratic Party demands the resignation of Al Franken.

So, I guess this tax cut extravaganza isn’t that important then.

It is dwarfed in importance by some anonymous women saying Senator Franken grabbed a body part or tried to kiss them. And somehow this didn’t come out during two different senate campaigns—one of which was the nastiest in Minnesota history.

I suppose it would be churlish of me to remark on the timing and how this so effectively distracts from all sorts of things that currently seem kind of important.

We have met the enemy and he is us.
