Al Franken should not have been hounded out. That was a travesty, started by by Kirstin Gillibrand, the Senator from New York who wanted to run for president and wanted Franken out of her way.

I agree - on the other hand, I still like Gillibrand - she does a lot of good. Schumer? maybe its time for someone else to take over. And yeah, I was pissed about Franken & Gillibrand's role in it. But you all know - its hard to find a a representative who does EVERYTHING you want them to do - even Obama and in my mind, he was great.
She may do a lot of good, but she eliminated a lot of possible good in that body when she led the charge to chase Franken out. So I'm skeptical that that wasn't a net loss for the country.
But I do agree that it's hard to fine anyone on Capitol Hill or in the White House who does all good. Biden is close, he's the best president in my lifetime, and I feel like he's put the wind at my back, despite the fact that he's terrible on immigration. See letter #2--mine

Menendez definitely needs to go.
Yep. I dislike Gillibrand more than I do Schumer.
I do too.
Today's was an inspiring column.
By a zillion times
Me too, because she hounded Franken out of office.

Gillibrand was selfish in her actions. DonтАЩt think Obama ever was
I agree about Obama - but I doubt selfish came into Gillibrand's actions - seemed to just go along with what the Dem party wanted.
She had herself convinced she was "presidential timber" and that he was in her way. so she took advantage of the situation.
I agree on Schumer.
