Hollywood Split Over Al Franken; Former ‘SNL’ Cast Members Take Sides

Deadline ^ | 11/18

I read that about Louie CK the other day...that he had that--uh--scenario in one of his stand-up routines. I haven't heard it about Frankenweenie, but nothing would surprise me.

[aimhigh]

Dems are using the excuse that Franken was a comedian. However Hollywood uses humor to push cultural limits.

[nickcarraway]

Al Franken and Tommy Davis did college tours. There is a video of at least one of them, it may be at Stockton State.

They show slides of various women they worked with like Jane Curtin and as each one goes by, they say @$^#&&ed her, etc. etc.

[Company Man]

So non-monolithic that we are compelled to include this pointless jab at conservatives before we even start our little screed on Stuart Smalley.

[TXBlair]

Gross. And Jane Curtin is useful idiot-ish enough to defend Franken, of course.

[Caipirabob]

* Breakfast Spoiler! *

We had a FReeper with a good friend who was a masseuse in NYC. He mentioned that Al Franken was a client from time to time. The friend told him that out of all his clients, Franken was the most disgusting and had the smelliest @ss he ever had to work around.

[Former Proud Canadian]

The good people of Minnesota and Somalia will decide who their representatives are.

Keep supporting Franken and try attacking Moore see how that works out for you.

[trebb]

Yep - they are willing to sacrifice Franken to keep Moore out and maybe revive crap against Trump - While McConnell is willing to sacrifice the freaking Congress to keep Moore out w/o asking any Dems to step down....

[VRW Conspirator]

The only reason any leftist wants him gone is to build the case, as weak as it is, to have Moore do the same...

Agreed. The Left is trying to take the high ground. Condemning Bill Clinton, etc. I would like to see Franken gone (he cheated to get there) and Moore win, regardless.

Well Jane, check this out! It looks aggressive to me.

Isn’t there also evidence that he joked about raping a baby? This accusation has been made against him.

[apocalypto]

Sick! I’ll take your word, I don’t even want to listen to it.

[apocalypto]

Interesting. I hadn’t heard of this.

[apocalypto]

Yet none of this was brought up when he ran for Senate? Of course, he has a D after his name, which caused MSM to cover up for him. Just wondering if Ms. Gloria or Mitt Romney spoken out against him yet.

[Tallguy]

Is there a generational divide influencing the way women are reacting? Seems women over 50 are more likely to shrug this stuff off. Younger women want the death penalty (sarcasm).

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks nickcarraway.

Hollywood, never as monolithic as Fox News viewers believe, certainly has reached no consensus on Al Franken...

Partisan Media Shills just can't help themselves, they must spin. Looks like it's almost everybody listed sez what he did was okay with them, and two said otherwise. Those two wre not from SNL.

[TADSLOS]

The most disturbing aspect of all of this is how Franken became a US senator in the first place - from sanctimonious, hypocritical liberals.

[EDINVA]

I didn’t see where anyone from SNL ‘took sides’ against Franken. Closest really was Rob Schneider.
