Stuart Smalley NEVER squirms.

“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me!”

Sure. Keep believing that, Al.

This is totally believable.

10 year old actual photo trumps a 40 year old accusation like a royal flush trumps a pair of threes.

Was he wearing that diaper when the alleged assault occurred?

This is blowing up nicely on Twitter.

Note that Franken didn’t have the b@lls to pull this while the service member was awake.

Has anyone asked:

Shep Smith
Chuck Todd
Joe Scarborough
Rosie
Hillary
Mitch McConnell
Chris Wallace
Hannity
....

For their thoughts as to why this Closet RAPIST is still in the SENATE and not in PRISON?

Is McConnell holding a Hearing demanding his immediate expulsion from the Senate??

For the Record, I have always thought Hannity was a little squishy and unable to comprehend basic facts, so I doubt he will say anything.

And the opposition has decided to fight fire with fire by adopting the same weak and useless weapon. I would expect no more imagination than that.

We know that the Left paid any number of Moore's accusers. I wonder who set this one up.

Or was she a journo when this took place? If so, Franken’s well and truly screwed.

Unlike the Moore situation, here is actual photographic EVIDENCE.

Franken will claim that he wasn’t really touching her (or even touching her Kevlar vest) at all and was just joking around while she was sleeping.

FWIW, I haven’t seen a denial from Franken. Have you?

Well, there’s a photo, anyway. Interesting that we’ve yet to hear anything from Franken...
