As a digression, years ago I lived in an apartment complex, and a mother and her young (7-8 years old) daughter were in a nearby unit. The daughter was always asking if she could come in my apartment and play with my cat. I always said no, but one day I let her come in, because the property manager was in the unit at the time. When her mother came looking for her, I think she was initially taken aback that I had let her daughter inside, but then she saw the property manager and said something like, "Oh, he's here." |

Any bets on if trump will mention Franken but ignore Moore?

Maybe we can just have a wholesale Congress exchange, and get a whole new one?

No one in Congress has a right to budget hush money for their own alleged crimes. Let's unseal this bastard and let the chips fall. |

Any party offering an NDA that even inches near covering potential criminal activity should be prosecuted as a blackmailer. It is sickening that people can be pressured to give up civil rights and courts go along with it.

This is a twist:
Roger Stone appeared to know Franken allegation was coming. Quote:

I'll still wait to hear if this is a pattern or one person. Joking about putting your hands on breasts, I'm just not that upset about the joke. He's a comedian, they were on a comedy tour. If guys took a joke picture like that no one would think twice. This is back to elevatorgate where every little thing is some horrible objectification of women. Franken's apology is pretty thorough. The accuser is claiming the apology was possibly put out hastily by a staffer. That's bull ****. If on the other hand, a number of women come out and report a pattern of behavior I'll reconsider. And by the way, this sadly serves to lessen the real complaints. |

As long as it is a pattern, and until then? This ain't a "real complaint." let us know if the "the woman" gets some back up, until then? Not a real complaint. Holee *********** smokes...... |

I'm not finding this woman to be all that assaulted. OMG, Tapper is asking her how she's holding up. Now she's in tears. She's been pissed about it for '10 years' according to her. Show me a pattern. If not, there is a point of taking accusations of sexual assault too far. We had this discussion over elevatorgate. Caused Linda (fls) to leave the forum. Included the divided camps of PZ vs Dr Hall. Making a joke that has sexual innuendo on a USO tour? The audience is soldiers on duty for crying out loud. I don't know what to make of the skit rehearsal. Clearly the woman has issues, Franken apologized. The only place to take this depends on if it turns out it's a pattern and I have a hard time with that given how much I know about Franken's work for women's rights. |

I'm always a bit suspicious of the motives of people who wear their virtue so conspicuously. I am reminded of rabidly anti-gay crusaders who end up getting busted for playing footsie in the men's room. |

CNN is sucking it up. If it wasn't political (which it might not be) I have to wonder if she wasn't sexually harassed way worse than this in her career. And is this a 15 minutes of fame or not? Show me Franken has a pattern. Or this really is a nothingburger. This is interesting: Quote:

If we’re going to start calling to account every performer who goofed around backstage, there’s going to be hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people in trouble. And for what? Goofing around backstage.

One grope? Not a real complaint But a "pattern"? Now maybe we are talking, heck we might even mention her by name. |
And now "slut shaming"... damn.
How many free gropes do we get of woman that appear in Playboy anyway? |
