Perhaps this was intended by Senator Franken to be a gag photo.

But what kind of person would consider groping a sleeping woman - a much younger woman - funny?

As much as we all loved Senator Franken, and considered him to be a role model for Democrats, it is time he resign or be expelled from the U.S. senate.

Otherwise, people will consider liberalism and feminism to be fraudulent.

No, Franken must resign or Mitch must start hearings to remove him from the Senate.

Pretending to grab her boobs while she is asleep, and taking a photo of the act, is unquestionably sexual harassment.

Not to mention the forcible tongue deal...

If I were to take a picture of myself pretending to grab the boobs of a female that I work with, I would be fired.

What the F is funny about this photo?

Was it funny?

Intended to humiliate her?

Showing his power over her?

Did he tell her he touched/faked touching her breasts or did she find out after the fact with this photo?

The picture is getting too much of the attention. He also insisted that they "practice" their skit where they had to "kiss."

After relenting, he proceeded to forcefully kiss her.

As a TV host and sports broadcaster, as well as a model familiar to the audience from the covers of FHM, Maxim and Playboy, I was only expecting to emcee and introduce the acts, but Franken said he had written a part for me that he thought would be funny, and I agreed to play along.

When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd.

On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’

He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.

This is hilarious. While Moore only has accusations against him, and the media has gone nuts over it, we now have a photo of Franken groping a Playboy model while asleep.

On what planet does he think this ok?
