The two Female Congress women mentioned at least two sitting men were known pervs! Was Franken, one or is he #3?

If I can touch them, they’re real.

Gary Hart let his little head and Donna Rice do his big head in.

Probably cost him the Dem nomination for president in '88. Hart just returned to the senate, finished his term and didn't run again.

Image analysis. It’s not a photoshop.

We are witnessing Mutually Assured Destruction in action.

We had a first strike. Now a response - a response that is much bigger and heavier than the first strike, and more accurate as well.

I think Bannon’s in this somewhere.

So does the Swamp fire back now? They’ve been hit with a very big strike and it dwarfs the first strike in accuracy and in target. What does the Swamp do now?

I think they’ve been beaten...because they aren’t prepared to deal with someone who will hit them back much harder than they can...and they are FAR more vulnerable.

Mutually Assured Destruction.

“but has since become popular on the left for the way he can dissect right-wing arguments.”

Good grief. Do you mean to tell me we don’t have anybody that can take drooling moron Al Franken in a brain fight?

Is there some mechanism in place that prevents the political ascent of intelligent people on the right? If the average intelligence on the left weren’t a full standard deviation below that on the right, we’d be in big trouble.

I never thought it was photoshopped.

Progressives will follow their usual playbook, however.

I just noticed that no one is talking about Senator Moore today? Why is that?

Because the Left got a “trump card” of actual facts, of a real sexual assault by a sitting U.S. Senator :)

If they talked about Moore, they would have to talk about that sham attorney Gloria Allred & the fact that she won't produce the yearbook or lie detector test for her client. They would have to admit another hoax witch hunt.

Forget about an ethics investigation. Any U.S. Senator who acknowledges that an ethics investigation of himself is warranted should resign immediately ... then off himself.

What a joke. Requesting an ethics investigation is a ruse since they can only look at what he has done while a senator. He is trying to blow smoke on the issue — so typical of a Dem.

Do you think Rush telegraphing what the Dems should do will piss off the Dems to make them NOT do what he says? If so, that is brilliant, otherwise, it is annoying that he is giving them the solution. I think they are too arrogant, and he knows this.

“Sarcasm aside (though quite appreciated), it looks to me as if Franken is very much touching them.”

I think he is with his first two, maybe three fingers on his right hand. Pinkie finger is not. Can’t tell about the left. Creeper rat that he is, he is lightly resting his finger tips so she won’t wake. In some ways, that has a higher ick factor to me, like frottage thieves in public transportation - which this is very much like.

On a happier note, hello and good to talk to you again, FW!

That was resigning from a campaign, I’m talking about resigning from Political Office.

Hart was a sitting Senator from Colorado who was also running for POTUS in 1997. Here are some more examples but the GOP pols appear to somehow be way more vulnerable than the RATS to get caught by a ruthless press ...

Yes, he is pro-abortion and that is all that matters.
