Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.
Anyone who ever learned to use a typewriter (millennials can ask Mom what “a typewriter” was) remembers that aphorism, and Monday good ol’ Al Franken finally got the message.
However, he only said he would resign from the U.S. Senate “in the coming weeks.” If so, he would be the highest-profile casualty so far in the war by women, not the infamous “war on women” that Republicans of an earlier day were said to be conducting, but a war by women on vulgar and coarse men everywhere.
But party beware. That sword he fell on was a blade of pliable rubber, not cold steel.
Al left his valedictory, if that’s what it was, with the ritual shot at Donald Trump that every good Democrat and sore-loser Republican takes at every opportunity, sometimes even when he rises in the middle of the night to answer nature’s call. No occasion must be unused. “I, of all people, am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party.”
Mr. Franken’s bitter allusion to Donald Trump and Roy Moore tells what’s really going on. Good ol’ Al must appear to be sacrificed to cast Roy Moore as the villain of the 2018 campaign. The Democrats think they can pose as virgins in the bordello by putting the corpse of Roy Moore on constant display.
