    Look at the dude. Did anyone think he didn't grope women? He'd been better off if he grabbed her in the pussy, I'm hearing that's allowed.

    she was asking for it. look at how she was dressed

    EDIT: apparently there is a CD of photos from the USO tour in question. Might be fun to see the rest of the pics.

    Also, I note that Franken actually apologized in a not-totally-douchey way. There's no moral equivalence between this and shit like Moore's stocking teen girlz at the local mall or Kevin Spacey's apparent serial groperizing and attempting to use gayness as a shield.

    If more shit comes out on Franken, then that would be bad for him, particularly if it is more recent than 2006 and especially after he got into public service, since I tend to hold public servants to a higher standard than comedians and actors.

    Frankenpology:
    “I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann. As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn’t. I shouldn’t have done it.”
    Hope this doesn't take him down because he's one of my favorite people in politics.

    I hate Al Franken, but this is getting stoopid now. News flash, people have been grabbing tits for thousands of years. Everyone on this bored with hair on their balls has done it. I have done it. Whatever. Sure, full on assault is bad, as is buggering 14 year olds, but half of this shit is now "he pinched my butt" bullshit. Rape is bad. Doing kids is bad. Half of this shit is Oops, I grabbed your ass. NOSGAF

    I mostly agree. The photo is in poor taste but it doesn't even look like he's grabbing her. As for the kiss, most of us have kissed somebody or been kissed by somebody without it being mutual (I've been on both ends) (lol!). Kissing someone against their will isn't a crime as far as I know.

    Sensationalizing this kind of shit diminishes REAL sexual assault IMO.

    Agree with all, and I want to assure you, every time we have kissed it's been mutual.
