Don't know what you mean. It's not a comment on the quality or lack thereof of the liberal Democrat agenda. It's just the observation that the agenda would be best served by him stepping down.houndawg wrote:JohnStOnge wrote: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.

I read your posts from days of yore and I wonder what happened.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/secon ... le/2641229A 33-year-old woman said Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., touched her inappropriately while the two were taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010, an accusation that comes days after a Los Angeles radio host said Franken groped her in 2006.
Lindsay Menz told CNN she met Franken at the Minnesota State Fair, where her father’s business was sponsoring a local radio booth. He had been elected to the Senate two years earlier.
People who are going to accuse her of making this up now are going to be disappointed to learn that, according to CNN, she posted the picture to her Facebook account shortly after it was taken in August 2010, along with a note saying that Franken had "totally molested" her and that he was a "Creeper."Col Hogan wrote:http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/secon ... le/2641229A 33-year-old woman said Sen.

Morrissey defends Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein
The singer also cast doubt on the dozens of women who have accused film producer Harvey Weinstein of assault.
"People know exactly what's going on," he reportedly said when asked about Weinstein inviting actresses to his hotel room, "and they play along".
"Afterwards, they feel embarrassed or disliked. And then they turn it around and say: 'I was attacked, I was surprised'.
"But if everything went well, and if it had given them a great career, they would not talk about it."
"I hate rape... But in many cases, one looks at the circumstances and thinks that the person who is considered a victim is merely disappointed."
Yeah, well he also wears black on the outside because black is how he feels on the inside. And if he seems a little strange, we'll that's because he is...89Hen wrote:http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42050512

I hope this goes on for months and they all get run out of town
this is the case that could be the rare exception and I think Franken's immediately calling for an investigation into his own case supports that conjecture. Doesn't mean he hasn't been a creep but this chick seems like one that would take a knee or two for anybody remotely famous. Plus, the officer that was Franken's babysitter rebuts her story.polsongrizz wrote:And yet here she is...
Not too mention she went to an event for al Franken and is shown laughing her ass off with him. BTW, same event that she kissed him at. If you look her up she looks like her life is basically what she is bitching about. Definitively takes a knee for anybody.houndawg wrote:this is the case that could be the rare exception and I think Franken's immediately calling for an investigation into his own case supports that conjecture.

Looks like he won't. I wonder about that. Human ego is amazing. I wonder if I would react in the same way. I'd like to think not. I'd like to think that if I were in a public position for the purpose of advancing a certain agenda I would recognize what is best for that agenda and be willing to step aside if that is what's best for it.
Nope, read it again. Never said he wasn't a creep, he may well be just like the rest of them, but if I were going after him I think I'd look for a different gal with more credibility to build my case on.Gil Dobie wrote:You guys sound like Republicans trying to juxtify Moore's behavior, only the shoe is on the other foot.polsongrizz wrote: Not too mention she went to an event for al Franken and is shown laughing her ass off with him.
