Amid the emergence of a 2006 photo of Al Franken groping journalist and talk radio anchor Leeann Tweeden, a photo of the embattled Minnesota Senator appearing to grab comedian Joy Behars breast has also resurfaced. The photo was taken at the New York Friars Club Roast of Rob Reiner. The event, which took place in October 2000, was presented by Comedy Central.
On Thursday, The View co-host reacted to the photo of Franken and Tweeden taken during a two week USO Tour by, according to the USO, Sen. Frankens brother Owen Franken and said, its just so disappointing.
It was disappointing to hear this about Al Franken. I cant back Al. Hes a very funny comedian, he was during this time. Hes a senator from Minnesota, Behar said. Hes a great advocate for women. Its just so disappointing. Men of all different stripes are out there doing crazy sh*t.
Behar said Tweedens claims that Franken shoved his tongue down her throat without her consent during a rehearsal for a USO skit are more upsetting than the picture, because in the picture he was obviously making a joke.
I dont know if he actually had his hands on her, but its the part [about the USO skit] where he thrust his tongue down her throat, allegedly, and forced her to kiss him. That is what you call nonconsensual assault, Behar said.
Franken apologized, twice, for groping Tweeden and called for a Senate ethics probe into his own behavior.
I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate, he wrote.

Now my opinion of Sen. Franken has evolved. Can we not have pity on a man who is blind?
OK this is where I side with Franken, he must have been drunk, because NO WAY could ANYONE and I mean ANYONE find Joyless Behar sexually appealing
“nonconsensual assault”
As opposed to the other kind of assault?
And after he’s been found guilty of nothing and received a strongly worded letter, he will apologize to anyone who didn’t understand his humorous stunt.
This is fun to watch. Democrats eating democrats.
Just like Republicans eating Republicans.
The Uniparty is self destructing.

One would think as a big Hollywood star Franken could afford a decent pair of eyeglasses.
NO woman lets him get close.
If he's gonn'a get any, it has to be by molestation.
Well Mitch the Bitch, what is your excuse to do nothing about this?
What a despicable turncoat McTurtle is.
Jan Behar doesn’t look like she’s in any pain or moral duress either.
It's as if the democrats and republicans are in a contest to be the LEAST despicable...
Drain the swamp!
Anyone willing to grope Joy Behar must be mentally ill.
Because he’s good enough....and smart enough....
