How high’s the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin’

Five feet high and risin’

Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can’t come back till the water comes down,
Five feet high and risin’

Well, it’s five feet high and risin’

In this instance, some of Al Franken’s actions do have to be viewed through a lens of ‘what comedians do in front of a camera’. Comedians are going to act up.

Al Franken was much more than "a comedian."

Franken was the founding talent for the progressive Air America Radio Network, launched in 2003. Franken hosted "The O'Franken Factor," later renamed "The Al Franken Show" from March 2004 to February 2007.

This incident occurred while Franken was still the premier host on Air America Radio.

Would this have been acceptable if Alan Colmes did it as a progressive radio host at the same time as Franken?

Franken’s seat is not safe.

Trump almost won MN, and Franken had to steal votes to get elected senator the first time.

Amazing that these hypocrites are frothing at the mouth over Al Franken’s actions when they manned the ramparts with full-throated support for the biggest sexual predator in the nation’s history, Bill Clinton. They didn’t believe the accusations of the women who accused him of acts far worse than those committed by Franken, instead discrediting them and calling them “trailer trash.” We were witnesses. We remember.

UhOh! Valerie Jarrett (Obama's brain) just delivered the sentence for Franken. He's toast.

SLight correction.

Franken had to steal votes to get elected senator the first THIRD time.

They did have to have the election thrice before he was elected.

“Minnesota has some great people, who sadly tend to vote idiotically at times”

Really? “at times?” Try all the time. “Great people” don’t act like the idiots in MN!
The cold winters must numb their “minds,” or what passes for “minds!”

Resignations and recusals are only for R-squishes.

He should ABSOLUTELY RESIGN if only to avoid the indignity of being EXPELLED as happened to Ted Kennedy and... Oh wait... never mind.

Unlikely. They’ll argue that it wasn’t a real grope. He just had his hands in position but didn’t squeeze. If he had, she would have awoken.

“Unlikely. They’ll argue that it wasn’t a real grope. He just had his hands in position but didn’t squeeze.”

And Bill Clinton did not inhale or have sexual relations with that woman. Demos are perverts and so are some rhinos, and then there is Linda Graham.

Seeing Franken stay in office is probably worth some MAGA votes nationwide.

Starting today, Franken is a dead and rotting Albatross hanging around the Democrats' neck!

It may not be groping, but the national appearance of this photo is massive sexual harassment!

Does anyone think Franken is the only one in the Senate? No he is not.

There has been $15,000,000 of OUR taxpayer money doled out to prove it.

“Did ya read the leftist woman who,after viewing this pic, said he really didn’t touch her?”

I didn’t!

However, any lies the left wingers hurl out to defend Franken, Biden and other Harvey’s does not surprise me!

It shows their total depravity: Morals and laws are for thee, not for me.

She was wearing a Plate Carrier and it looks like there were plates in it. He couldn't have squeezed her breasts.

That is the real point.

She is wearing SAPI plates (otherwise why would she be wearing a Plate Carrier?) so he could not have actually squeezed them, but the photo alone is NOT funny in any way shape, or form. That photo is really demeaning to that woman.
