1. Good for him.

I wish he wanted to run for President next election.

2. Sen. Franken

Integrity to spare. Would he run for president? Hmmm. I wonder.

6. Probably Won't Be Another

He's obviously not going to be appearing on that show again.

8. Then why was this part of the statement?

“He was glad to see Bill, who the Senator considers to be a good friend, apologize and express sincere regret for his comment.”

Sounds more like Bill is on probation to me.

9. Well, He Was Appearing To Help Promote His New Book

Not sure he'll be doing the rounds again anytime soon.

I'm sure he won't be rushing to come back on, and the folks at Real Time won't be pursuing him as hard, now that he's stiffed them.

10. I think it's a reasonable decision

Probably no accident that it comes on the heels of his decision not to appear with Kathy Griffin, either. The GOP is calling Ossoff the Kathy Griffin candidate in Georgia. Stupid as that attack line is, the Democrats don't want to do anything in the slightest that takes attention away from Trump right now or to offend their base.

11. Agreed

That's kind of what I was thinking.

7. He is on tv regularly.

Why wait?
