Al Franken misses the Senate but they don't miss him

Former funny man, senator and #MeToo victim Al Franken has a list of questions for Brett Kavanaugh in his bid for his nomination for Supreme Court Justice. And just like Hillary Clinton is not the President of the United States of America, Al Franken is not a senator.

He was, but he is not one now based on his crude behavior with women and, in a photograph his genius brother took,  pretending to grab a woman's breasts while she slept.

Too bad for weird Al, he won't get the chance to question Kavanaugh because he doesn't have the authority to do so based on his past behavior as a pig. Only sitting U.S. Senators may do so, and the only thing Franken is sitting on is his thumb.

Franken so badly wants to be back in the senate that he refuses to change his Twitter handle from "U.S. Senator Al Franken" even though he resigned from office in disgrace after a series of sexual harassment allegations. He announced his opposition to Kavanaugh on Saturday in a Facebook post, which should make you glad you aren't a liberal sexual offender like weird Al.

Franken's pathetic tweet went like this:
When Judge Brett Kavanaugh appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I wish I could be there. Because I have some questions I'd love to see him answer. [When Franken uses the word 'love,' don't drop the soap.] Here they are:

--U.S. Senator Al Franken (@SenFranken)
He can't even be truthful about who he is.

Franken then "nails" Kavanaugh for something he said during his official introduction last Monday, suggesting POTUS presided over a thorough and extensive vetting process, and "no president has ever consulted more widely, or talked with more people from more backgrounds, to seek input."

Finally, Franken notes the he "knows" exactly what would happen in their exchange--he would reveal that he was selected "through a shoddy, disgraceful process" using resources from shady conservative groups, the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. He goes on to conclude that Trump hired him to cover his tracks.

"The truth is, for the last generation, conservatives have politicized the Court, and the courts."

Weird Al was definitely not referring to the Ninth District Court which has used its power to over ride the President's efforts to get immigration reform done.

Many of the responses to Franken's post urged him to return to the Senate--as if it's still his choice. But his words clearly show that his lawmaking process has not been missed.
