I think it’s game over for Franken if the second accusation proves substantial. Too bad, he seemed to be doing a good job. Sort of like Anthony Weiner, a refreshingly irreverent & acute voice in congress—oh yeah, & a complete idiot about sex.
What gets me, today, is suddenly 8 accusations against, of all people, Charlie Rose—a wonderfully avuncular, obviously well-meaning, nuanced, interesting, well-connected interviewer. I will miss him.
Of course Trump couldn’t resist tweeting/gloating over Franken, & when his spokesperson was asked about possible hypocrisy, the spokesperson pointed out that Trump has never admitted wrongdoing. The point was, not that he never did anything wrong (everyone knows he did), but that he never admitted it. That’s the moral high ground in Trump’s way of thinking.
