Showing Original Post only (View all)The most well written and fully fleshed out article on the Franken mess. [View all]
Al Franken resigned (sort of) from the U.S. Senate today. His shocking demise came about as a result of accusations against him, about which I have written extensively and of which, despite having no affinity for Franken, I am more suspect than ever, especially after his emotional speech on the Senate floor.
There are so many significant and mind-blowing aspects of Frankens political death that there needs to be a list created for the historical record. Here is my attempt to do that:

That seems unlikely. He has essentially been kicked out of the Senate club by his fellow members.

It was her profession you can't ignore it any more than you can ignore that Franken was a comedian

Yes. Franken was railroaded and stabbed in the back by his supposed colleagues.
