(54,504 posts)calling for Franken to step down long before the other senators jumped on the bandwagon she created.
I personally heard her interviewed on satellite progressive radio way before the other senators called for a resignation. She not only rusned to judgment in calling for Al to step down, she also pushed Bill Clinton under the bus by retroactively calling for him to resign over the consensual affair he had with Lewinsky.
Imagine that, as Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton endorsed her to take Hillary's seat in the Senate she vacated to take the SOS job in the Obama administration. Opportunism seems to have trumped loyalty and clouded her judgment on this part of the story that her defenders never bring up, her retroactive attack on Bill Clinton.
