Worth reading the whole article.
I saw her on TV yesterday, I believe. She seemed matter of fact, but certainly not overly upset about the whole thing. No, I'm not defending in any way, shape or form, Frankin. I'm merely making an observation.
This gal just plain hates Al in a big way.
Fine by me. The smarmy sonofabitch should have stuck to SNL.
If Franken had done this to my wife or daughters he wouldn’t be “Senator”.
Blame the victim.
The “go to” refuge for the bully and unlovable kid that never seems to have learned basic rules of common decency, which turns out, not to be so common after all.
Like so many bullies out there that get found out and are forced to admit to their misdeeds, the claims of apology ring false every time, trying to buy off the target of their tactics with fake promises of “I won’t do that any more”, yet will revert to the same patterns time and again, because the target “deserved” the abuse.
Yep--Completely consistent with the entitlement mindset of Franken and most DIMS.
I think she is being too easy on Al The Pervert.
It is too bad she didn't speak out in 2008 when he was stealing the senate election.
She could have saved the nation from Obamacare by sinking Al's senate aspirations before he became the deciding vote..
Pure, unadulterated BS!
NO EXCUSE!!!!
Some sick guys get off on this stuff. I remember a parting shot from a sick guy I worked for as a young woman. Eventually the guy went to jail for fraud.
MN should investigate how this guy won his last election. IMO
There we go. “I’m the victim here!” And ... scene.
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.
I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldnt be so nice about it the next time.
I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.
I felt disgusted and violated.
Tweeden wrote that she chose not to alert her supervisors of the incident, so as not to cause trouble while in the middle of a war zone, and ignored Franken for the remainder of the tour. It wasnt until she returned home to L.A., she wrote, that she saw the photo, taken during the 36-hour flight from Afghanistan to L.A. I felt violated all over again. Embarrassed. Belittled. Humiliated, she wrote.
Every time I hear his voice or see his face, I am angry. I am angry that I did his stupid skit for the rest of that tour. I am angry that I didnt call him out in front of everyone when I had the microphone in my hand every night after that. I wanted to. But I didnt want to rock the boat. I was there to entertain the troops and make sure they forgot about where they were for a few hours. Someday, I thought to myself, I would tell my story.
Franken has already responded. Suffice it to say, this wont cut it.

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.
Her husband should stroll into his office and beat the living $#*+ out of him. What jury would convict him?
Accuser??? How about victim?
