Paul s - al franken

i don’t watch much tv, but i was watching tucker carlson on fox tonight. he went out of his way to say that he thought Al Franken got a really raw deal and was treated unfairly. i thought that was very interesting. and it makes me think you might well have been right.

Well obviously there's some validity to what you thought. You had a good and valid point there.
