As much as I do not like Franken, I cannot be too hard on him for this, honest mistakes do happen.

I think you must be right. To do this intentionally would be just bizarre.



The real issue here is that if this was a republican then he would not be given this level of understanding from those in the media nor the public in general. Mike at least is willing to give Franken a pass for being ignorant, but if it were a republican, it would be a different story.

Why do you say that? I go after Democrats just as much as Republicans, but only when there is a good reason. Unlike some of you, I am very skeptical of all politicians. I'm never going to give someone a pass on tax evasion, for example, but our tax law is unbelievably voluminous and impenetrable, so mistakes are bound to happen.
