A dem held to any kind of account? Surely thou doth jest.

Rape, murder (by drowning), theft, assault, treason, sedition, and the rest are for dem enjoyment only.

I’m very disappointed in Hannity lately....

I suspect Laura Ingraham will be all over this creepy, sexual act against an innocent woman.

I loved how she showed Joe Biden groping young girls and women on her show last night. Go Laura!

She was a fitness model who posed in Playboy.

And he's, well, Al Franken.

What also bothers me is that the person/persons near by didn't lay Franken out for laying his hands on her. WTH is with that?!

Perhaps this was intended by Senator Franken to be a gag photo.

But what kind of person would consider groping a sleeping woman - a much younger woman - funny?

As much as we all loved Senator Franken, and considered him to be a role model for Democrats, it is time he resign or be expelled from the U.S. senate.

Otherwise, people will consider liberalism and feminism to be fraudulent.

No, Franken must resign or Mitch must start hearings to remove him from the Senate.

He became a Senator in 2009. This was before that, therefore it doesn’t count against him.

On the other hand, if the Senate is planning to expel Roy Moore for something he may have or may not have done 40 years ago, I guess they need to expel Franken too, no?

He’s a democrat. It’s okay. It’s even required. Franken is now cleared to run for president.

Note that Franken didn’t have the b@lls to pull this while the service member was awake.

Note that Tweeden was a correspondent for Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show
Not a service member.

I’m sure he is having his people formulate a response. Actually, his best response would be to ignore it. It seems unlikely that anyone in the MSM will take notice or even ask him about it. They’ll ignore it too.

Is this pre- or post-the hand-grope photo?

Always figured Al Franken to be a queer.

Pretending to grab her boobs while she is asleep, and taking a photo of the act, is unquestionably sexual harassment.

Not to mention the forcible tongue deal...

If I were to take a picture of myself pretending to grab the boobs of a female that I work with, I would be fired.

I am another who despises Frankin.

And I do think he was worse than a jerk for sticking his tongue in her mouth or for even kissing her. That in itself is sexual assault.

But at the same time, I have to ask the question: If she had her flack vest on and his hands were very light, possibly even not touching, could he be excused as a prankster.

In other words, he could not be “feeling her up” if neither he nor she could feel anything?

Even if that is correct, and I am only asking, his idea of a joke is crude and not acceptable by decent people.

I would add that had he done that to my wife, I would not need to do anything.

Except arrange to have what was left of him removed.

Woman accuses Al Franken of kissing, groping her without consent

Just a resume enhancement for a democrat.
