Is it too much to ask of the feminists to provide a list of stations and circumstances under which it is acceptable for a male to physically and or sexually abuse a female?

The woman in the picture allegedly has a husband. Why is Franken unharmed?

Who knows? Maybe some money changed hands.

So groping is okay if it’s done by “comedians”? Is that what you’re saying, Gloria. Roy Moore was a “democrat” when Allred’s “allegations” occurred. Shouldn’t he get a pass also?

At http://www.instapundit.com, they captioned that tweet/picture: “The head of the former Obama administration lights the Bat-Signal that it’s OK to push Franken out of his (safely Democratic) Senate seat.”

“”Weinstein and Spacey weren’t members of Congress either. “”

Nor was Donald Trump when the tape/video on Access Hollywood was released....

Franken was highly disliked by most of the SNL staff and talent. He’s since shown himself to be unstable with outbursts that would make Alec Baldwin blush. His entire shtick is based on being a wry, deadpan commentator. In the 70s, that was the thing as the Groundlings and Second City alumni created the “I’m too cool to think what you’re doing is cool” style of humor. That form of comedy has passed. Even re-runs of SNL aren’t nearly as funny as we remember them to be. Franken was always better as part of a writing team than he ever has been on his own.

Perhaps Joy’s husband is thinking the Henny Youngman line: “Take my wife - Please!”

Judge Moore was not a senate candidate at the time this occurred. He was just an assistant DA.

Al Franken was the Air America talk show host who was going to dethrone Rush Limbaugh when he sexually assaulted Leann Tweeden

Because the husband, a progressive, has not yet had the opportunity to sneak up on Franken from behind.

and A LOUSY ONE AT THAT.

Amen to that. Completely unfunny.
"I'm Al Franken"

That picture of Joy and Al. Did he have his other hand in his diaper?

CNN Belittles Franken’s Accuser: ‘He was Just a Comedian’

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Worth saying again. Louis C.K. and Bill Cosby both comedians as well.

If I gave it some thought... I could easily come up with a dozen famous sexual predators that hid behind their “job titles.”

CNN should be shamed for making excuses for these perverts.

One who claims to be a comedian but is definitely NOT FUNNY and Franken IS NOT FUNNY! He needs to be gone.

“He was not a member of the Congress at the time this occurred. He was just a comedian.”

So if I do some stand up comedy, Gloria Borger won’t mind if I fondle her in public then, right? That’ll just be totally okay with her, right?

If it weren’t for double standards, these people would have no standards at all.
