The only real surprise here is why Al didn't get caught doing this before.

It is not his fault, he accidently channeled Bill Clinton.

Did he grab her by the pussy?

Ethics committee? I mean, it’s not a forged yearbook, but an actual PICTURE of the accused Senator committing the act of sexual harassment is almost as good, right?

Red handed and nobody cares.

Mitch McConnell, Country Club GOPe Senate Leader:
Sudden 40-year old Accusation against multiple time national-news making candidate Moore: Must resign, will not seat in Senate, no investigation necessary. No Moore!
Picture of Al Franken (which I think is just a gag) groping: Ethics committee will 'investigate'.

It’s clearly a gag. He’s not even touching her... body armor.

Shoving his AIDS laced tongue down her throat is just a gag too, right? Right?? RIGHT???

How many accounts do you have on here CiC?
13   Tenpoundbass   2017 Nov 16, 9:27am  

It's OK he's allowed to do it, he's smart sensitive and gosh darn it, Liberals just like him!
14   anonymous   2017 Nov 16, 9:31am  

He may well have done what she claims, but there’s obviously a problem with at least part of what she’s saying as she’s claiming that she discovered she was groped by Franken after seeing this picture. The problem is he’s not even touching her.
15   HEY YOU   2017 Nov 16, 9:40am  

Pervert!
She was only 14 years old.
Why did the other man in the pic allow this sexual harassment?
Was he a Republican?
How many other co-pedophiles in the room?
At least there was a hidden camera.
....
"Four previously unknown women came forward on Wednesday to allege that they were the targets of disturbing sexual advances by Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore"

Men are pigs. They'll even grope bullet proof fun bags.
18   HEY YOU   2017 Nov 16, 10:48am  

Did she get paid?
Is she a Republican?
Let's see who steps forward to tell about her sexual adventures.
Why did she wait so long to come forward? - Republican talking point hypocrisy.

Anytime a man has sex,never say "yes",just go along.
After orgasm he can scream "RAPE".
You had to lay there & take it. What charges would a man face if he struck a woman?
"Rapist Whore never asked for permission."
Lock her up.
....
If men don't want to be raped,pay.
Prostitutes accept money.

The right hand definitely is touching her...

Other libbie biggies also think he touched her...

Shortly after Franken’s apology, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement he would ask the Senate Ethics Committee to look into the allegations, and several of Franken’s Democratic colleagues, including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told reporters they believed there should be an investigation. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., called Franken’s behavior “unacceptable” and also backed an investigation.

The picture is childish, but clearly intended as a joke rather than a sexual advance. His hands are clearly intended to be near her but not touching. The shadows are the obvious give away. OTOH, there's no doubt he did make contact. You can't get that close without looking and not make contact unless you are a boob ninja. It's Franken's sexual photo bomb.

It's too bad, b/c Franken has been one of the more clear headed and quick thinking Dems lately. Now, nobody will listen to him question anybody without thinking of this picture. They should investigate him. If he's got a history of inappropriately moving on disinterested women, that will come out.

The important thing here is not just which people are getting busted. It's that women are coming out of the woodwork to accuse them, and they are not getting brushed aside and disbelieved. That's a pretty remarkable change over the past year. It will be interesting to see where it ends.

Doesn't matter: sexual jokes are taboo too. Do something like this at work and kiss your job goodbye.

I'm sure he's done a lot worse than the picture shows. It would be naive to assume otherwise.
I hope he gets sued like hell. Dems or Reps, when it comes to sex they are all the same.
25   Goran_K   2017 Nov 16, 12:10pm  

Well, Democrats got what they wanted. Hyper sensitive society where gag (or not), you're guilty before all the facts are out.

These are the fires Takei and Al Franken have been stoking for 12 months in an attempt to burn Trump, but looks like they ended up burning themselves.

Fuck em.

I wouldn't assume one way or another whether Franken's a creeper. That picture is pretty innocuous IMO, if that's the worst he's ever done. Most of us have made some sort of sexual advance or gesture that was not appropriate at some time or another. It's when there's either a particularly egregious example or if there's a pattern of inappropriate behavior when you know there's a problem. Now that the plug is pulled, so to speak, with Franken, time will tell what he's been up to.

How about if there's a SECOND woman?

Melanie Morgan: After TV appearance, Al Franken harassed me too.

Now, Media Equalizer Co-Founder Melanie Morgan has come forward as well, recounting her own experience with the onetime comedian, liberal radio host and activist. Morgan’s disturbing encounter was sparked by daring to disagree with Franken during an August, 2000 edition of ABC’s Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher.

In response to the disturbing allegations made against Franken, Media Equalizer and Media Equality Project Co-Founder Melanie Morgan has come forward to recall her own frightening encounter, sparked by a seemingly-mundane and even obscure topic of political disagreement.

Morgan, who was a ABC Radio talk show host for KSFO / San Francisco at the time, appeared August 19, 2000 on ABC’s late night show Politically Incorrect.

She was joined by Franken, William Baldwin, and then-Colorado Lt. Governor Joe Rogers on the panel.

He wouldn’t leave me alone, he kept following me. As a woman, his presence and proximity to me felt very threatening and intimindating.

“I didn’t realize his creepy behavior after the show meant it would continue in the days to come.

“I will happily testify before the Senate Ethics Committee, should a hearing be held regarding Franken’s behavior,” Morgan added.

Like a rolling snowball that becomes a boulder. Franken is done, literally eaten alive by his own.

WTF, why is it the sickest assholes are always virtue signaling the hardest?

Does anyone remember this sick psycho's comments after Trump's locker room talk? Him and Takei were calling Trump a rapist, which is funny since both of these liberal clowns are actually... rapist.
