No matter your political leanings, this is pathetic.

If you remember, when Jeff Sessions was up for AG, one of his biggest detractors was Al Franken. It turns out they were friends, very close friends. Close enough that Franken would have known Sessions was a good man. Yet from Franken's book, we have this:

Franken became pals with Sen. Jeff Sessions and their wives became friends. But when Sessions was nominated as attorney general, Franken told Page, “When my job meant doing everything in my power to deny my friend this important position, I was relieved there was so much to demonize him for.”

Franken really thought his job was to deny his friend a post for which he was unquestionably qualified? Wow. No wonder nothing works in D.C.
