The sources said Franken was the most outspoken senator in the meeting, which followed President Barack Obama’s question-and-answer session with Senate Democrats at the Newseum on Wednesday. But they also said the Minnesotan wasn’t the only angry Democrat in the room.
Man, I am so happy that Al Franken was elected. So far, he has been doing some truly amazing things. Between his leadership in this meeting and his work on the anti-rape amendment, on top of consistently representing actual progressive interests, he is almost single-handedly reviving the left in the Senate. I hope that his being out front on these issues convinces other Senators that running to the middle is not always the best election strategy.
