Ann Coulter: Franken's Touching Departure

I never thought I’d see it, but Al Franken has finally gotten around to calling a moving van.
While it is true that Franken was given virtually no chance to defend himself against multiple groping allegations (your side made those rules, not us), remember, it was never his practice to give that chance to anyone else.

On CNN and MSNBC, they were thunderstruck by Franken’s magnanimous response to the charges: UNLIKE ROY MOORE, HE ADMITTED IT AND APOLOGIZED!

Yeah — there’s a photo. So the part they had him dead to rights on he apologized for. What a guy.

Everything else he denied. Specifically, Franken said of his accusers: “Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others I remember very differently.”

Which reminds me: That’s exactly what Newt Gingrich said about the charge — repeated by Franken ceaselessly, endlessly, relentlessly and ubiquitously — that he’d served divorce papers on his wife when she was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery.

This claim came from Gingrich’s ex-wife. It was denied by Gingrich. Now I don’t know who’s telling the truth, but I note that there’s no expression: “As reliable as testimony given by parties in a bitter divorce dispute!”

Franken didn’t care. He flogged the nasty story about Gingrich in books, on radio and in speeches, saying at the National Press Club, “And the thing about this story that you should know is that it’s true — every part of it.”
