Other libbie biggies also think he touched her...

Shortly after Franken’s apology, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement he would ask the Senate Ethics Committee to look into the allegations, and several of Franken’s Democratic colleagues, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told reporters they believed there should be an investigation. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., called Franken’s behavior “unacceptable” and also backed an investigation.

You still on 640x480???

The picture is childish, but clearly intended as a joke rather than a sexual advance. His hands are clearly intended to be near her but not touching. The shadows are the obvious give away. OTOH, there's no doubt he did make contact. You can't get that close without looking and not make contact unless you are a boob ninja. It's Franken's sexual photo bomb.

It's too bad, b/c Franken has been one of the more clear headed and quick thinking Dems lately. Now, nobody will listen to him question anybody without thinking of this picture. They should investigate him. If he's got a history of inappropriately moving on disinterested women, that will come out.

The important thing here is not just which people are getting busted. It's that women are coming out of the woodwork to accuse them, and they are not getting brushed aside and disbelieved. That's a pretty remarkable change over the past year. It will be interesting to see where it ends.

Doesn't matter: sexual jokes are taboo too. Do something like this at work and kiss your job goodbye.

I'm sure he's done a lot worse than the picture shows. It would be naive to assume otherwise.
I hope he gets sued like hell. Dems or Reps, when it comes to sex they are all the same.

Well, Democrats got what they wanted. Hyper sensitive society where gag (or not), you're guilty before all the facts are out.

These are the fires Takei and Al Franken have been stoking for 12 months in an attempt to burn Trump, but looks like they ended up burning themselves.

Fuck em.

I wouldn't assume one way or another whether Franken's a creeper. That picture is pretty innocuous IMO, if that's the worst he's ever done. Most of us have made some sort of sexual advance or gesture that was not appropriate at some time or another. It's when there's either a particularly egregious example or if there's a pattern of inappropriate behavior when you know there's a problem. Now that the plug is pulled, so to speak, with Franken, time will tell what he's been up to.

How about if there's a SECOND woman?

Melanie Morgan: After TV appearance, Al Franken harassed me too.

Now, Media Equalizer Co-Founder Melanie Morgan has come forward as well, recounting her own experience with the onetime comedian, liberal radio host and activist. Morgan’s disturbing encounter was sparked by daring to disagree with Franken during an August, 2000 edition of ABC’s Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher.

In response to the disturbing allegations made against Franken, Media Equalizer and Media Equality Project Co-Founder Melanie Morgan has come forward to recall her own frightening encounter, sparked by a seemingly-mundane and even obscure topic of political disagreement.

Morgan, who was a ABC Radio talk show host for KSFO / San Francisco at the time, appeared August 19, 2000 on ABC’s late night show Politically Incorrect.

She was joined by Franken, William Baldwin, and then-Colorado Lt. Governor Joe Rogers on the panel.

He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimindating.

“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.

“I will happily testify before the Senate Ethics Committee, should a hearing be held regarding Franken’s behavior,” Morgan added.

Like a rolling snowball that becomes a boulder. Franken is done, literally eaten alive by his own.

Maybe, maybe not. Time is what he needs to do in jail along with all the other crooked politicians,

WTF, why is it the sickest assholes are always virtue signaling the hardest?

Does anyone remember this sick psycho's comments after Trump's locker room talk? Him and Takei were calling Trump a rapist, which is funny since both of these liberal clowns are actually... rapist.

This is getting ridiculous... are we really going to censor writing rooms and say scenes in movies aren’t acting but sexual assault now?

There’s a clear difference between the “casting couch” and the actual movie. I knew the democrats talking point that the woman should always be believed was going to bite them in the ass. There are plenty of women with no morals that will lie for money and pretending they don’t exist is stupid.

That’s it! I’m going home tonight and I’m going to expose all these “actors” raping and assaulting women on my TV set. law and order SVU... that entire cast is going down!!!

Soon:

Now he's groping Jeb Bush:

If a bullet can't get through, how is that sexual assault even if he grabbed her.? Have a sense of humor people.

This era of the sexual assault witch hunt needs to end. No one is immune to a passing glance, or a silly picture, or some anonymous accusations from the past.

Stop it already. Just wow.

Al Franken has already admitted to groping her. Stop defending him.

What we're seeing is major projecting by liberals. It's gotten to the point, that what ever they accuse someone else of, they're guilty of the same issue 5x as serious. From here on out, when a Liberal makes an accusation, the media should immediately dig into their past. I'm sure their skeletons in the closet will be YYYUUUGGGEEEE.

APOCALYPSEFUCK_is_ADORABLE says

Why isn't the model chick from the USO show's husband ripping off Franken's arms and shoving them up his ass?

Good question.
