Not Tommy Cindercreek!

This may mean Chris Lydon may come back for the gig.

I just hope there's enough detail for a show segment.

Ashbrook is easily replaced by anyone else who is less of a pompous blowhard.

Not sure you're twigging to the actual common denominator in the many news stories of late.

What "foolishness"? Considering nothing has been explained, please tell us what you know. Unless, that is, you're just being a sanctimonious gasbag.

Liberals hold their own accountable for this shit.

"ConSwervatives" seem to toggle between "its my divine right!" and "nuh uh didn't do it the video of me doing isn't meeeee".

Riiiiiiiight. All liberals do what you said. How many liberals are still defending Al Franken?

Meanwhile, at the demand of liberals, Franken & Conyers stepped down.

so much seem to have had no problem denying due process to Franken and Conyers.

I must have missed the part when Franken & Conyers were found "guilty" in court without having due process. Would you mind being a dear and sending a link to an article showing how each was found guilty in a court of law? That'd be the easiest way to show how they were denied due process. Thanks, Bri!

The Dems, in their rush to seem like they're nothing, NOTHING, like the GOP decided to crucify Franken without so much as ten minutes of investigation into the claims.

Or am I wrong?

Nobody forced them to quit.

Either they didn't want a trial or thought it wouldn't be worth the effort or they were as guilty as Weiner's weiner.
