Franken’s claim of comedic privilege won’t fly in the age of Weinstein.
Could have worked in the 90’s..

Can any woman in this country close her eyes and feel safe as long as Al Franken roams free?

The last person I’m likely to believe in this scenario is Franken. I’ve heard stories about how behind the camera, he’s just a mean-tempered ideologue.
To: markomalley
Al Franken thinks that touching women on their private parts while they sleep is funny?
He is a sicko.

The world is at last rounding in on Al Franken, “Stuart Smalley”, for the sick puppy he is.
Not funny when he was trying to be, his performance as Senator is truly a jest upon the world. Much like the prank of the three-dollar bill. Totally counterfeit.
Funny, all right. Just not “ha-ha” funny.

Here is Franken’s second statement...I'm sure he's got a pantry of them, right next to the Cream of Chicken and SPAM.

Al Franken was much more than "a omedian."
Franken was the founding talent for the progressive Air America Radio Network, launched in 2003. Franken hosted "The O'Franken Factor," later renamed "The Al Franken Show" from March 2004 to February 2007.
This incident occurred while Franken was still the premier host on Air America Radio.
Would this have been acceptable if Alan Colmes did it as a progressive radio host at the same time as Franken?
