Franken was a comedian at the time, doing what comedians do.
And I am with SG this time- I too wonder about Tweedon's prioritizing of her experiences. She did not come out with the stance of "Guys, don't grope the waitresses". Is it assault if the waitress considers it harmless, and knows she'll get a bigger tip for it? Or it it a different crime? I hear her as saying it's only bad when Franken does it. And is the history of the pic that she had the only copy? Sounds like self-humiliation for her to release it. Then, an instant acceptance of his apology. You know, 10% of people are within the 10th percentile of good judgement. |

I suppose you could start a thread for digging into political factions and what they really mean, but we both know it would immediately devolve into No True Scotsman douchebaggery. Anyway, I would never call you a prog, Beelz. That would be personal. The MA would never allow it. All the trumptards and the shillaries and all the rest of them? That's other people. Nobody here but us ISF Members. And we have strict rules about not talking about ourselves. |
Tweeden seems credible in the TV interviews, although I did get the vibe that she was reveling in it.
Roger Stone tweeting (via proxy) about the incidents in advance of Tweeden going public, along with Tweeden's right wing credentials, give me a tad bit of pause. |

As far as releasing the photo, should she not shared it and keep the shame to herself? Maybe she should of just kept quiet about the whole thing? |

That she was groped before. That she did nothing when she was groped as a waitress (assuming that there was any chance in hell we would have heard of some nobody getting banned from a hooters). that she considered it harmless and thought she would get a bigger tip? (holy crap!) and that her experiences translate to being harassed by someone who is now a US SENATOR. I "assume" she didn't do it before because before #metoo she was quite rightfully concerned that she would be slut shamed like she was in this thread. |

I still don't understand why she is ashamed ? WTF did she do to be ashamed about ? |

I'm dealing with a situation now where a student has a "service dog" (or an "emotional therapy" dog) that she's bringing to class. This dog wimpers during lecture. He's constantly whining, so she pets him and feeds him treats. After the first day of this ********, I asked if I could pet her dog. She said yes! (We're not supposed to be able to pet real service animals, so she's probably lying, but I can't be certain.) Since this goddamn dog keeps interrupting me, I'll make a passing comment, "Yeah, I know, you disagree, [dog's name]." Anyway, I was contacted by the dean this week because the girl said that my asides about her dog make her feel "uncomfortable." She lodged a complaint against me! Bitch. Quote:
I believe that this incident should be investigated and taken VERY seriously because other classes are probably getting interrupted. |

Is "progressive" the same kind of belittling insult as "trumptard" or "shillary"? Is Senator Franken a progressive? Or a liberal Democrat? Does it matter when it comes to inappropriate behavior? |
Quote:
I still don't get ... what is she ashamed about ? She didn't do anything ? She was asleep. Her whole purpose at the USO show was to be eye candy. But yet, she'd deeply ashamed of this picture that she literally had no control over ? |

Give him time. |

But others earlier have indicated this picture was somehow shameful. Hoping someone can explain it in small words so I can understand. |

Dr. Keith said "maybe". It would be an assumption without the "maybe". |

and like the slut shaming we saw earlier, that does not mean that allegation is not true. |

In a statement Friday, KABC said a “very small group” of employees discussed the best day for host Leeann Tweeden to come forward with her account of being forcibly kissed and groped by Franken in 2006. The station says it informed “some of our news partners so they could prepare to cover what we knew was a very significant story." |

Although, I've been told thirsty can be observed. But, I haven't seen any of the public appearances so I have nothing to a gauge that by. Has anyone seen thirsty behavior? |

Are you walking back that assumption? That is fine. |
