The radio host groped and forcibly kissed by now-Senator Al Franken during a 2006 USO show says the now-infamous photo of the Democrat's hands on her breasts while she slept wasn't meant as a joke: It was an 'in your face' parting shot after nearly two weeks of being 'belittled and humiliated.'
The lawmaker issued a third apology to former Playboy model Leeann Tweeden on Friday afternoon just before she appeared on 'The View,' a sign that he may feel support slipping among advocates who want him to weather the storm and refuse to resign
Tweeden said hours earlier on 'Good Morning America' that she 'had to endure being with him for almost two weeks' after 'he stuck his tongue in my mouth' as Franken mocked her with one passive-aggressive gesture after another.

The Tweet below by Valerie Jarett will probably be called the "Kill Shot Tweet" that took out Al, the pervert, Frankenstein.
This thread is still growing.
There is plenty of room for a second and a third apology...
Am I the only one who’s noticed the woman is wearing body armor? Al isn’t feeling up her boobies, he’s feeling up her ceramic plate (SAPI). If she were awake I doubt she could feel it, and I don’t think it’s giving his bells a jingle (unless he has a ceramic fetish).
Don’t get me wrong, if a meteorite crashed through the roof of his mansion tonight and blasted him and his bedroom into oblivion, I’d call it evidence that God does exist. And if he were convicted of capital groping and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered, I’d buy a ticket to watch the event.
But this looks like nothing more than a comic gag to me.
Those are very astute observations — I believe you’ve nailed it.
Her husband should stroll into his office and beat the living $#*+ out of him. What jury would convict him?
Let me get all PC here.
“IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS”.
It is something most women have to deal with and the better looking you are the more likely men are to hit on you and a certain percentage of these are jerks.
Times have changed so I don’t recommend slapping men because they may hit back these days, but loudly and sharply calling them out is still the best way to stop future attempts. Word gets out to the rest of the mashers that this one doesn’t take crap.
If you tolerate it because you don’t want to make a scene, well they will continue and other men may decide that you are okay with it.
It’s basic predator/prey interaction. If you are difficult prey, they move on and hunt elsewhere.
But not all women have the temperament to deal with mashers and these are the ones that get victimized over and over again. Same as with people who get bullied, this is just sexual bullying and you can’t just tell victims to stand up to the bullies because some just can’t. That is why those of us who can stand up to bullies need to step up and speak up when persons who like to bully others do it in front of us.
Silence is consent.
She responded by saying, "Okay then, I'd kick 'em in the nuts instead!"
That's my wife. She doesn't take any shit from anyone.
She's a firecracker.
God Bless President Trump!!!
Love the twitter blasts.
The Left HATES it. So it must be good...
LOL. Still wouldn’t advise it in the under 30 crowd. The “bitches n hoes” thug culture has crept pretty deep into the Millenial generation and a good portion of them raised by single mothers and a series of indifferent boyfriends/stepfathers will react badly.
Any average DI could get those thugs whipped into shape in a few short weeks.
He'd have them crying for their mamas in no time, or at minimum, clean underwear. :-)
I hope between the #metoo campaign and so many of these mass shootings perpetrated by men with histories of abusive behavior, people start seeing the link between misogyny and other unwanted behaviors.
It’s true some women aren’t strong enough to stand up to the bullies. It’s also true that in a lot of workplaces, especially small businesses, women are actively punished for standing up for themselves; the dudes are the ones who complain when women say, “You may not touch me,” and the owners call the women out for not being able to get along with their coworkers. Despite the laws, most women know a lawsuit is a permanent black mark on your record that can destroy your career, so in toxic companies, they have to decide whether to put up with it or leave quietly. It happened to me, and I left quietly because in that workplace my only other choice was to allow it to continue or be fired then savaged in references. I’m not sure even allowing it to continue would have let me keep that job once the bosses decided I was pathologically unable to play nice with others, even though there were no other complaints about me, and many, even from customers, about my harasser. But I was careful looking for the next job; where I am now, there’s still a lot of jocularity, but I know if someone did cross the line, I’d be expected to push back. If after that he thought of complaining, he’d be calling the boss’s wrath down on himself.
By the way, I appreciate your last paragraph. Once there are social (and economic, if it happens in the workplace) consequences for any kind of bullying, we’ll see a lot less of it.
Nah, these politicos have their entourages and handlers who are there to a) minimize the fall-out (deny, deny, deny); b) help steer them towards at least an appearance of proper behavior.
