I would imagine this is in response to the gripes by the CBC about Conyers going out so fast...and they have pics of Franken.  Failure to treat this eruption with some racial parity would maybe result in Black Democrats wandering from the Plantation, and the Dems can't have that.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah, Frankentwitter told MPR to fix their original report, saying no final decision has been made.

Me too. I've had that feeling all day.
My thoughts have been that the DNC released to the press the idea that he was going to resign to pressure him. I doubt that press release actually came from him.


Tomorrow, he's going to apologize and cry and declare how much he regrets what he has done, and how much he respects women and yada, yada, yada.


But when it is all over, he will not resign.

If he felt compelled to make that last presser a shitshow and refused to resign, I doub't anything will get him out of office. Fact is he has been a failure at everything he has done. He doesn't have anything left except for this gig. Leaving it in disgrace isn't an option for him.

That's not fair.

Tomorrow, he's going to apologize and cry and declare how much he regrets what he has done, and how much he respects women and yada, yada, yada.

Which is funny, because earlier this year, he released a 400 page confessional about how completely un-sorry he's been, since becoming Senator.

“Al Franken, Giant of the Senate” is, in part, the story of how Franken became a giant phony — how he pretended to be a serious person in public even as his inner comic monologue never stopped running. He recalls that during the 2008 campaign, he was attacked for such transgressions as a late-night writers’-room joke about raping Lesley Stahl, and a 2000 Playboy article entitled “Porn-o-Rama.” Franken didn’t think he should have to apologize for the cracks, which his opponents were taking out of context. “To say I was sorry for writing a joke was to sell out my career, to sell out who I’d been my entire life,” he writes. “And I wasn’t sorry that I had written Porn-o-Rama or pitched that stupid Lesley Stahl joke at 2 in the morning. I was just doing my job.”

But as the attacks caused Franken to bleed support from women voters, he saw that his explanations weren’t working. “I learned that campaigns have their own rules, their own laws of physics, and that if I wasn’t willing to accept that, I would never get to be a senator.” And so Franken took a deep breath and told a little white lie: “I’m sorry.”

Exactly what I was thinking.  I believe he will go sumpin' like, " I considered resigning but felt I owed it to the people who elected me to stay on and fight for them."

He won't and they will.

That is exactly what Pelosi said. When she was asked to give up the speakership she said, 'I would, but it is my duty to stay and to fight for women.'


That, "It is my duty to stay and fight for the people" thing they do, seems to be a Democrat coverall excuse for never leaving office no matter what.
