Franken got support in that view from an unlikely source on Thursday: Former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. Franken is a creep who acted inappropriatly, but his facts are different," tweeted Fleischer shortly after Franken's resignation announcement. The second part of Franken's conclusion will have a lot of Democratic heads nodding. If Franken truly believes -- as he said -- that he did nothing wrong here, then why is he resigning? But in so doing, he wanted to make sure everyone -- in the chamber and outside of it -- didn't see his resignation as an admission of guilt.
