‘another radio host just accused Franken of stalking and harassing her...’

No wonder Franken was trying to get out ahead of this s-storm. He knew it was about to hit the fan.

The two Senate so-called leaders, mcconnell and schumer, have shown what weasels they truly are by calling for an “ethics investigation” of franken, knowing that it could very well be years before the subject even gets reviewed by the “ethics committee.” Following that, more years before it gets dropped, thanks to a zoe lofgren-like intervention by a friend of franken to tank it all. If these two clowns had any principles at all - I know, I know - they’d demand that the Senate expel franken just as they’ve threatened to do to Roy Moore.

He said he shouldn’t have done it and didn’t remember it the same way as she did..so all is good.

U’mmmm ....because groping/ sexually assaulting a woman is funny to him.

Yes, it would be funny to just about any pervert....

And the remarks he made about raping babies....that was funny to him as well. See a pattern with his humor?

Holy crap. Ms. Tweeden was one of those early nineties ESPN girls who did those exercise shows wearing bikinis before they started censoring everything.

She was one amazing beauty at the time.

“Franken must be very confident that an ethics investigation would result in a harmless slap on the wrist at most.”

It was just a harmless frat boy prank. He didnt actually touch them. No harm no foul.

If Franken steps down, the LSM will spin it as him doing the right thing. It could also be spun as giving more credibility to Judge Moore’s accusers, but I don’t think Franken’s ego would let him take a bullet for the team

“”I look at it now and I feel disgusted with myself.” He also requested that an ethics investigation begin, with which he would “gladly cooperate.””

What’s there to investigate? He’s admitted to have done what he’s accused of.

You go after one of ours, we go after one of yours.

You started it. Shall we play this out to the end and see how many lay politically dead on both sides?

The guy is a pervert. I suspect there are more complaints coming his direction, shortly.

Sarcasm aside (though quite appreciated), it looks to me as if Franken is very much touching them.

Fwiw.

I just noticed that no one is talking about Senator Moore today? Why is that?
