I'm furious with Gillibrand.

I don't consider myself sexist (I'm a woman if that makes any difference).

I'm not upset with her for acting like a politician, or for going after power, I'm upset because she did it by stomping on the face of a fellow Dem.

I'm more upset with her than her colleagues because she chose to position herself as the ringleader. I would be just as upset with any man who did the same. I don't think it's feminist to go easy on someone just because they're female.

No matter the number, accusations that are highly questionable and mostly anonymous don't equal guilt. Or do you not think the R smear machine is capable of producing numbers of those sorts of accusations?

I hope the posters currently gloating over Franken's demise will be happy if, next year, we have Senator Pawlenty instead.
