13. I feel somewhat conflicted about my other senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, now

She was also my congresswoman and was very popular here - in a traditionally Republican district. There were elections when the party didn't even bother to field a candidate until 2006 when she managed to defeat a Republican who had been in office for years. And it was Hillary Clinton who advised her when to run - and President Clinton came to the district to campaign for her. I was there - along with half of the district - and he is a truly charismatic speaker. I credit his efforts with her win. So it's not just the Al Franken episode that I have conflicts about - she also said President Clinton should have stepped down when she probably wouldn't have been in office without him. So I guess I'll just call Schumer.
