[EX Q]: Appearing on CBS’s "Face The Nation" with host John Dickerson on Sunday   Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)  described  his  painful recovery from the attack by  his  Democratic neighbor as a "living hell." Law enforcement officials arrested and charged  Paul ’s neighbor  Rene Boucher  for the attack in which  he  allegedly ran up and tackled  Paul  from behind.
"It was sort of  I guess  a living hell for the first four or five weeks "  Paul  said. "Couldn't get out of bed without assistance. Six broken ribs  damage to my lungs. Two bouts of pneumonia. It was really a tough go of it  but each day I feel a little bit better. This last month  I've been doing better."
Dickerson then asked  Paul  if he has discussed with his colleagues how politics has become uglier in recent years.  Paul  was one of the Republicans that was attacked last summer during a baseball practice by Democrat activist-turned-terrorist James Hodgkinson  who attempted to murder the group of Republican lawmakers.
"You know  my colleagues come up all the time  and they want to make sure that there is some kind of deterrence  because people don`t want to think that it`s open season on our elected officials "  Paul  continued. "I was also at the baseball field when we were shot at with automatic — semiautomatic fire  and Steve Scalise was severely wounded. And I was 10 feet from a young staffer who was shot in the leg."
"We usually don't ask if someone's raped or mugged — why the person did it "  Paul  noted. "We want punishment and deterrence  and I guess that's what I'm mostly about. I just don't think of any kind of motivation or justification  whether it's political or personal  to attack someone who's unaware from behind in their own yard."

[EX Q]: Hellbound Glory's Leroy Virgil  isn't afraid to explore the lows to which desperate people will sink. In fact  it's kind of the Reno  Nevada native's forte. As far as lows go  robbing a strip club would seem to rank pretty high on the list  and that's just what  Virgil  does in the new video for the band's grungy country rocker  "Hellbound Blues."

"Cocaine  Kurt Cobain  I've been blowing up my fucking brains " goes the opening line of "Hellbound Blues " a line that proves prophetic in the video  which was directed by Bob Wayne.  Virgil  and a female love interest show up to rob a strip club in the middle of the day  and hit an unexpected jackpot upon emptying the cash registers: a small mountain of cocaine. The two celebrate by snorting the haul back at their place  but the party quickly nosedives as  Virgil 's partner overdoses and  he  commits suicide with the shotgun that  he  just used in the robbery. In typical Hellbound Glory fashion  no grisly detail gets spared.
The video's lurid  violent subject matter already seems to have angered some of the band's fans  prompting a video response from  Virgil . "I understand. I get it. I feel you on that "  he  says. "I don't really like it that much either because I guess I just prefer comedy over drama but I think that Shooter [Jennings] and Bob [Wayne] both did a really good job on it  making it and creating it."

[EX Q]: His  once-promising political career in shambles   Minnesota Sen. Al Franken  appeared on the verge of resigning after fellow Democrats led by female senators abandoned  him  Wednesday over the mounting allegations of sexual misconduct that are roiling Capitol Hill.
Gillibrand was the first to call for  Franken 's resignation on Wednesday  but a torrent of Democrats quickly followed.
"I'm shocked and appalled by Sen. Franken's behavior " said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state. "It's clear to me that this has been a deeply harmful  persistent problem and a clear pattern over a long period of time. It's time for  him  to step aside."
Though the writing appeared to be on the wall   Franken 's departure was not certain. A tweet posted Wednesday evening on  Franken 's Twitter account said: "Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate."
Schumer called  Franken  immediately after the latest allegation â and before the torrent of demands for  Franken 's resignation from Democrats â and told  him   he  needed to resign  said a Democrat familiar with the events. Schumer met later in his apartment with  Franken  and Franken's wife  Franni  and repeated that message  and  he  did the same in additional talks with the senator throughout the day  said the Democrat  who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez weighed in  too  asking  Franken  to resign and saying  "Sexual misconduct  harassment and assault have no place in the Democratic Party  the United States Congress  the White House or anywhere."
The resignation demands came in rapid succession even though  Franken  on Wednesday vehemently denied the new accusation that came from a former Democratic congressional aide  who said  he  tried to forcibly kiss her after a taping of  his  radio show in 2006.
The woman  who was not identified  told Politico that  Franken  pursued her after her boss had left and she was collecting her belongings. She said that she ducked to avoid his lips and that  Franken  told her: "It's my right as an entertainer."
 Franken  already faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into previous claims by several other women that  he  groped them or sought to forcibly kiss them.
The allegations began in mid-November when Leeann Tweeden  now a Los Angeles radio anchor  accused  him  of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour in Afghanistan.
Other allegations followed  including a woman who says  Franken  put  his  hand on her buttocks as they posed for a photo at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010. Two women told the Huffington Post that  Franken  squeezed their buttocks at political events during  his  first campaign for the Senate in 2008. A fourth woman  an Army veteran  alleged  Franken  cupped her breast during a photo on a USO tour in 2003.
 Franken  has apologized for  his  behavior but has also disputed some of the allegations.
 Franken  was first elected to the Senate in 2008  defeating Republican Norm Coleman in a bitter recount that took seven months.  Franken  won that race despite attacks over bawdy humor and writings dating back to  his  days on NBC's "Saturday Night Live " including a proposed skit joking about rape.
