It's a staple of addiction programs that people often come to a "rock-bottom" moment before getting on the road to recovery. Perhaps they lose the house, kill someone while driving drunk, get busted performing a lewd act in a dingy public restroom or, God forbid, even vote for Al Franken! If he loses, they'll never see just how low they've sunk and they will go on to commit some other horror. Most people have a low opinion of Congress, but they need something tangible on which to focus their dislike--a monster, if you will. What could be a better monster than Frankensenator? He is mean, dark, and as humorless as a re-animated corpse. Sending him to Washington would surely be a rock-bottom political moment.
