Re: Stop presses! Democrat gropes!
Well, I need more than that article to be outraged.
I'm no fan of Al Franken's politics, but his comedy was always pretty good.
That picture is a big nothing - ho hum. He's not "groping" her - he's making a funny, comical move of appearing to grope her. She's got a big thick flight jacket on - he's not "groping" anything. Unless there is more to it, that's a big fat zero.
And, the "skit" where he somehow got her to kiss him involuntarily. Well, we need more. I haven't googled it, and I'm not that interested because I bet the other articles are just as sparse. But if someone has the details and can link or summarize what horror he supposedly committed, then I'm going to assume it was tame. I mean - at least she should say where the kiss was. Did he stick his tongue in her mouth or vice versa? Was it on the cheek? What? I hate when these articles are so vague it's impossible to know if anything wrong actually happened.
When I saw the headlines that Al Franken was accused of kissing and groping a woman, I expected something real. Instead, I'm here like "come the fuck on, lady."

I can see the headlines now: Senator resigns after groping breasts through flak jacket.

He's not groping her in that pic.
His hands are not touching her.
That's a photo of a man not groping her. Hope the rest of the evidence is better than that.

Sarah Huckabee Colonel Sanders jumps on Franken:

And he DID penetrate:
“And he just mashes his mouth to my lips. It was wet and he puts his tongue in my mouth and I push his chest away with my hands."

Re: Stop presses! Democrat gropes!
I've not seen the details of the story, but I did see Franken apologizing for doing it. He claims his intent was different.
I still am not outraged by it, and I don't see that he did something wrong.

Pussy grabbing president? No problem. Breast "honking" Franken: National disaster, need PURGE, according to National Review.
Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/4 ... e-gift-gopFranken might be able to shake this off if he could depend on conflicting memories. But he can’t. Because of that photo. The sex-abuse scandal is becoming, to cultural history, what Watergate was to political history. It is gigantic. It is era-defining.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...
