Dec 2017

I have tremendous respect for Al Franken. His cross examination of Sessions was pure genius. He puts check marks on all the right items.

And I don't think what he's been accused of is even remotely as heinous as the things Trump has bragged about, and which Moore is alleged to have done.

Still, if the allegations against Franken are true, and I have no idea if they are, but if they are, he kind of blew it, don't you all think? I mean, his work for the common good stands to be torpedoed by this growing scandal.

I hope he hangs in there for the ethics investigation. But if he doesn't, he'll still be one of my favorite pundits.
