Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Kirsten

Kirsten Gillibrand has abandoned her long-shot bid to become the 2020 Democratic nominee.   I say, good riddance.

A recent New Yorker article described how seven current and former Senators who called for Al Franken's resignation have expressed regrets at their hasty and premature actions.  But not Kirsten, who still says she has no regrets.

Typical of the seven regretful Senators is Pat Leahy, who called it "one of the biggest mistakes I've made" in his 45 years in the Senate.  Others who also had the courage to admit their mistakes include Heidi Heitkamp, Tammy Duckworth, Angus King, Jeff Merkley, Bill Nelson, and Tom Udall.  But not Kirsten Gillibrand.

I say goodbye and good riddance to a bad Senator and a morally reprehensible jerk.
