Al Franken.
I liked Al. I was truly sorry he had to resign. But he had to resign. If our party had given him a pass we would have no moral authority in the Kavanaugh scandal.
We threw Al under the bus, but we did so for good reason.

PAXTON — For decades, James C. Graham was tormented by a simple, but profound question: Why did his father seem to dislike him so much?
On Tuesday, the South Carolina man confirmed the bittersweet truth: The man who raised him wasn’t his father at all.
Graham’s extraordinary 25-year effort to find the truth about his father ended when a forensic anthropologist told him that his DNA matched samples taken from a deceased Catholic priest who grew up in Lowell and graduated from Boston College.

Yet more awful behavior from this awful institution.
