Al Franken accuser says disgusting USO tour grope photo was an 'in your face' parting shot...

I saw her on TV yesterday, I believe. She seemed matter of fact, but certainly not overly upset about the whole thing. No, I'm not defending in any way, shape or form, Frankin. I'm merely making an observation.

Now, I have never been the victim of any sort of sexual harrassment, bullying, physical assault, etc., so I won't proffer any "observations."

Instead, a speculation (based upon my understanding of human nature):

When repeatedly telling a story like this one (assuming that the lady in question is being 100% truthful) in numerous different venues (on the night of the assault, to a girlfriend; six weeks later, to her mother; two years later, to her fiancé; at a press conference; during a radio interview; on tv; etc.), I should think it quite believable that one could display different "affects" - sometimes relating the events in a very matter-of-fact or even dead-pan manner, sometimes expressing anger, sometimes breaking into tears.

That's human nature.

If every "performance" were identical, however, then I'd be getting suspicious.

Regards,
