1. We gain nothing...and the GOP will be at it again.

[mopinko]

2. i dunno. al on the teevee machine, all the time, maybe as an msnbc regular

or even on his own show, poking fun and laughing at these assholes. not ideal, but some redeeming value.

3. Joe couldn't handle the competition. People like Franken more than Joe I think..n/t

[mopinko]

7. f joe. wasnt even thinking of his show.

wonder if rachel can walk that fine line.

[mopinko]

14. joe and mika both said this morning that they would welcome al on the show.

time will tell if they actually do, but that's what they said.

[Demsrule86]

6. He won't be on anywhere...just wait.

[mopinko]

9. well, we'll see how many seats open up due to truly egregious behavior.

i suspect he will be a go to guy about the rest of the guys who will be falling in the near future. (2 today.)

[Demsrule86]

13. All Democratic seats...the GOP will be just fine.

[Kirk Lover]

4. That's what I'm thinking...he didn't die.

5. If there's any consolation to be grabbed at, this is it.

I've read Franken's work for years. When he decided to run for senate, I was torn in case it hampered that important voice.

He had more potential to get some stuff done within certain parameters in the Senate.

Soon, having gained the inside knowledge that comes from his time as a senator, I look forward to what he'll write and do. I suspect it'll end up being a pyrrhic victory for those who've brought him down.

8. I say we make him head of the DNC

Perez is no leader

[mopinko]

10. that would rock.

would take some rehabilitation, tho. this was done to gain the "moral high ground" so i doubt the party would let him sit on that perch at this time.

[Drahthaardogs]

11. He will be exonerated

The truth will come out

[Tipperary]

12. I will stick with your optimism! I need something to grab onto today. So disappointed right now.

Really, I just feel utter disbelief.

[FigTree]

15. He will run for President.

Scandal is behind, not ahead. He is a stubborn sob.
Swallwell is another one.
