        Kudos to Al Franken for not being a hypocrite by putting his values and constituents before his book sales. Trump could learn from Franken.

        My take: Sen. Franken is revving up for a presidential run and wants to avoid association w/ controversy not of his own making. #franken

        Good for you Al. I agree w/Bill sometimes, but his ego, obnoxiousness & arrogance is severely annoying.

        If I could play devils advocate for a sec, if they are friends and he accepts his apology as sincere, (as do I) then why not show up?

        Because Bill has a long history of questionable/controversial statements. I like Bill but his views are complicated and some questionable

        Agreed, he's been controversial, been watching since early '90s. So I can't help but feel it was just REALLY dumb, not intended to be racist

        RIdiculous. Maher was not being racist when he said that. He is not racist.

        I definitely thought it was racist when I saw the clip. I've been sheltered in NH, but I'm glad I haven't been desensitized to slurs

        It was a stupid expression, but it was not directed at anyone in a mean manner. And I have not been desensitized to hate or bigotry.

        That's weak Sen Franken. Don't bow to conservatives, who are desperate for any branch to grab. We all know Maher was making a joke.

        He's not bowing to conservatives. He's listening to voters who, correctly, pointed out how offensive and racist Maher's 'joke' was.
