(13,535 posts)in leading the charge is very different than labeling her "That Evil Woman" when a reference to a male senator who agrees with her and who is the minority leader by name.
I agree that the intense push for Franken to go may be misguided. I think they should have gone to the ethics committee and investigated this thing before making any decisions.
But I do resent the uneven hatred that Gillibrand is getting for this whole thing. I don't think that's fair. It may very well be calculated politics. That's probably true of many positions politicians make. Regardless of their sex. I'm sure the senators all talked with one another before she led the charge. She wouldn't have done it if there wasn't support. So blaming her or hating her more than others irks me.
