who confuse noise for principled action. Here is something he posted in outrage after Weiner had to step down for his idiotic action. Franken has not VOTED to Kerry's (or Durbin's ) left, it is more his pre Senate actions that I think put him on this list. He appears to have been a Kuchinch person.

The fact is there were good reasons for ANY Democrat not to defend Weiner.

But, if you look at his posts in this thread, it is clear that he is informed and smart - so, I think that putting the links up that I did could have made him relook at things - but it obviously did not.

( So, the only benefit was that I had never seen or forgot the NYT piece summarizing all the good 2008 praise. So, I am glad I looked for the other NYT article that I remembered. )
