'Ready?': Democratic senators and staffers shed tears during Al Franken's resignation speech
by Al Weaver | Dec 7, 2017, 2:00 PM

Sen. Al Franken took a quick glance up at a jam-packed Senate press gallery as he entered the chamber Thursday, preparing to ask Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, who was presiding over the chamber, to allow him to make the speech that would end his political career.

A senator who has long dodged questions from reporters, he finally had one for them.

"Ready?"

And with that, Franken, D-Minn., set out on his farewell address to the Senate — a 12-minute speech where he continued to proclaim his innocence against eight women who have accused him of sexual misconduct in recent weeks.

Sure they shed tears. Almost his whole party was calling for his hide just yesterday. He ain't going to be missed by anyone.

He might not leave after all.  I hope he stays. Not as if a Republican is going to get that seat anyway.

Franken beat the incumbent Republican, but that was by pretty obvious voting fraud during the re-count, IIRC.
