That's fake, right?

I mean, if he did really tweet that, he has now unlocked TRUMP LEVEL 5000

HAH HAH that is going to make heads explode, Scanners style

BRB. Going to the store for more popcorn.

[houndawg]

Seriously, how hard is it to go through adult life and not grope a woman without her consent?

If you think about it... it must be very hard. Otherwise we wouldn't see so many people getting nabbed for it.

Are you speaking of the offending member?

[houndawg]

I'll tell you what the joke is going to be by the LEFT
"Well I guess Franken should run for President then... Maybe the RIGHT would vote for him.."
Something about grabbin' pussies or whatever...

I can see it already

This just in: Hard core lefty exposed as conk double agent pussy grabber!

I dont find Al Franken funny. But the picture is obviously a joke. The forced kiss description is disturbing, although tame.
I do however find it humorous that in today's society, he's being called a hypocrite.

Slick Willie would never survive this environment.

The thing is, you just can't take pictures like that as an adult and also have a public persona (like an elected official). Sure, that kind of stuff was slightly funny when we were in high school or college, but that was 25+ years ago for the Gen X'ers here and more for the Baby Boomers. Times have changed. Using a passed out or drunk or an asleep woman for a sexual prop without her knowledge (and let's be honest, you can't use an unconsenting guy in a similar state either) is just wrong. Jokes don't get to escape the verdict of right or wrong just because they're funny. The picture of what he did is just as bad as the forced French kissing in the rehearsal, and it's probably worse because rather than a "he said, she said" thing there's actual, legitimate proof of what he did. Any way you look at it, it's wrong. Guys like Franken, like Trump, like the whacko in Alabama, like Kevin Spacey, like all of them, are just wrong when it comes to this behavior.

That's the way the world is rolling towards. I'm not a big fan. I don't like the "insulted" classes of people. I do enjoy the schadenfreude of having Hollywood's elite class bite the big one after decades of lectures on treatment and equality of women.

I'm sorry but the staged picture ain't even close to the kiss, Grandpa. 1) The ability of pictures to go viral was still very new in 2006. 2) Others were involved in the prank.

Was it juvenile and unfair to an unwitting "victim"? Of course. Franken is still a fucking comedian and they tend to act juvenile. But it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility to imagine that Franken and the others involved thought it was harmless and meant nothing truly dastardly.

The kiss is WAY worse because it's physical contact and she clearly declined at first and gave in only after all his pleading. The tongue action takes it even farther.

The wife and I have had two pretty heated debates about this the last two days regarding Franken et al. and another incident of the elder Bush grabbing some more ass - although this time, it was a 16 year old, he was 79, and not in a wheelchair.

Mrs. Kalm, (who used to get pissed at my anti-feminist rants) is now skeptical about the veracity of all these claims. She said if an old dude had grabbed her butt when she was 16, she would have laughed her ass off, been mildly flattered and told everyone about it rather than be traumatized by the incident for the next 11 years.

Having spent her fair share of time in bars and around drunk guys at the golf course, she thinks the Franken thing is a bit overblown as well. Her take is this shit happens and women need to quit being pussies about it.

In complete roll reversal, I argued that everyone has a right to not have their personal space violated. It's why we extend hands for hand shakes rather than just grab somebody's hand. It's why older mentors explained to me to that unless it's very close family or friends, always allow a woman to initiate contact, even a friendly hug. It's just the gentlemanly and safe thing to do. GHWB gets away with it just like a number of older dudes I've seen through the years do. The ones that always initiate the far too deep- squish their tits up against you hugs to my college age staff. I've had to even tell a couple to back off just a little.

I'm not saying it's not how the world works and we are sexual critters, but as I pointed out to the wife, I've spent my adulthood around attractive, flirtatious women, and yet somehow managed to not go all pervy-touchy or rapey (love that word, stole it from Ursus in an AGS thread).

Now apparently, my chances of being a grabby old dude who can get away with it are completely shot.

I agree there's a lot of danger in letting sexual harassment hysteria get out of hand. I'm more concerned with that than I'm concerned that Franken gets to keep his job. Contrary to what Samantha Bee and other feminist dispschits say, you don't have to actually send dick pics to get in trouble for sexual harassment. If you're a star you can get away with about anything but for most men if one disgruntled female subordinate cries harassment and you have no witnesses you could be updating the resume and hitting the road.

I just happen to enjoy watching "pro wimmin" liberal men get their turn at the guillotine and all the mental gymnastics that are done by some liberals about how this is somehow different. Feminsts aren't going to believe it's out of hand until some pro-abortion liberal politician they admire is accused of harassment or one of their sons are kicked out of college for bogus rape allegations.

It's so funny to watch the "buhleev wimmin" crowd get their brains stuck in an infinite loop as their liberal heroes are getting burned by the #metoo fire.

They'll be fine. They have already firmly established that they believe the woman and Franken himself has facilitated that. If it's necessary for him to step down or for them to force him out they'll be fine because he's in a Democrat governor State so they won't lose a seat in the Senate. And the coup de grace is that the accuser doesn't want him to step down:

When asked whether she thought Franken should resign, Tweeden said, “I didn’t do this to have him step down. I think Al Franken does a lot of good things in the Senate. You know, I think that’s for the people of Minnesota to decide. I’m not calling for him to step down. That was never my intention.”

It's inconvenient, but there's no problem with the "believe the women" paradigm here.

[JohnStOnge]

BTW, in spite of the fact that the woman isn't calling for it I do think the smart thing for Franken to do at this point if he really believes in the things he says he believes in would be to resign and allow the Democrat Minnesota Governor to appoint a replacement. That's if he really believes in the liberal Democrat agenda. That'd be the best way to advance it.
