Newly revealed pictures show Sen. Al Franken grabbing self-described feminist Arianna Huffington on her bottom and breasts.
The never-before-published images, taken for a magazine in 2000 and obtained exclusively by The Post, include a number of frames showing the former “Saturday Night Live” star grabbing the media mogul’s buttocks as they pose back to back.
An even more shocking snap shows the pair posing on a bed, with Franken cupping Huffington’s breast with one hand.

Posed pictures. Big deal.
Sensual and consensual.
Not getting the whole “ Me, too “ thing ~ oh, the liberals double standard ...
There is zero tactical advantage to removing him or having him resign. The leftist Governor will just appoint another, worse ( new and as yet untarnished ) leftist in his place. Probably a female, maybe a Muslim, someone they consider untouchable. Net gain ZERO, at best a wash but possibly a further loss to our current situation.
There is zero strategic advantage as well. Franken's seat isn't up for full-term election until 2020. There is more to be gained by having that rotten dirtbag still in place until then, as the face of the (D)ummycrat party and making that seat truly gainable during Trump's re-election campaign. If they appoint a replacement or have a special election, that new person becomes the incumbent. With Franken on the ballot ( pray! ), there will be many down-ticket voters showing up just to get rid of him, perhaps enough to flip Minnesota to Trump since it was extraordinarily close last time.
Remember Bob Packwood sticking around and becoming the face of the then-hapless (R)epublicrats, even made it into popular culture like Married With Children and the like. That seat still fell to the enemy despite the otherwise successful Gingrich revolutionary juggernaut. ( And yeah I know what he did was nothing compared to Kennedy/Dodd/Biden and all the other corrupt (D)ummies ).
So hang in there Al, I'm pulling for you!
non story
They probably were consensual but the left thinks Trump should be in jail for a running his mouth to Billy Bush - ie, words without even any supporting accusations attached to them. So f’em. I say that picture is proof of sexual assault.
"...zero tactical advantage to removing him..."
I had a professional interview in Houston, TX with the Roy M. Huffington Co. for a position at their LNG facilities in Indonesia. I was very disappointed not getting the job but I did go to bigger and better things later on.
Nice post.
Here is a key quote —
“That’s his tactic, pretend like it’s all a big joke. Arianna was pushing his hands away. He was groping her. There was some fun attached to it, but she wasn’t enjoying it. She definitely told him to stop and pushed him away.”
Since Franken is a comedian he thinks he can hide behind his comedic role and get away with it. Some people are more equal than others.
Are we sure that isn’t Joy Behar from the View?
Good point.
She sold that website many moons ago.
Yes, Arriana, there is a “first time” for everything but your choice of partner leaves a lot to be desired.
This is nothing as they both are laughingly posing for these photos.
The only stories that matter are those where the sexual assault is unwanted or where the victim is in a powerless position (a minor, an employee).
That sonofabitch is everywhere isn’t he?
It does establish a consistent pattern, something that ^does not exist^ in the Judge Moore matter.
