    So many times I think about Al Franken having to resign over taking a silly picture.

        Dunno. How long ago was Howard Dean ending his political career with an ill-timed awkward scream and Dan Quayle flushing his career down the toilet for misspelling “potatoe?” Was that before color TV?

          Dean’s scream wasn’t ill-timed, just ill-recorded. They were using a noise-dampening microphone, so he was basically shouting over the screams of the crowd. But we couldn’t hear it because it wasn’t part of the recording.
