    In that picture, which is apparently her only recollection of it, he isn't even touching her. Wow, they are going to start arresting every person in the world.

    not exactly.


    >>>When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd.

    On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’

    He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

    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 wouldn’t 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.<<<

    Ah yes, Franken is yet another example of how the left protects their own. As long as you have a D after your name...anything goes. Franken is a fucking monster. He has a long history of degrading women and joking about raping women. He even joked about raping a reporter. But it's all good...he's a Democrat!

    I'm talking about the picture. That is what she said about the picture.

    She's an actress doing a skit. He shouldn't have french kissed her, but is that really enough to disparage him now and try to ruin his career? I'm not a Franken fan, this just seems like a stretch to me. I actually don't know anything about him, except he was on SNL.

    Edit- didn't know he is a Democrat either and I lean more to the right.

    Ha. I can still remember her at Pikes Peak screaming and yelling while throwing gestures towards Mladin and the Yosh team on hot pit after the infamous blocking Bostrom while qualifying fiasco. I also remember the horrified expression on BBoz face. :crackup:

    You bet your ass it is. Live by the sword of shame, die by the sword of shame. He deserves the same mercy he has shown, which is none.

    If she was a Stripper, Prostitute, Pharmacist, Lawyer, it does not give him the right to assault her.

    Absolutely.
    Franken has a history of being a give-no-quarter accuser, so if he is held to the sort of ridiculous standards he has demanded of others, it's just karma.
    Or just karma.

    Ya no shit. I'm shocked. Well you know how it is these days, you're either the victim or the perp. Things do not look well for me because I haven't been feeling victimized.....hmmm......wonder when the shoe will drop....

    The grabbing her and holding her while he kissed her I could see as assault if it's true. The picture is not. My point about her past is she's an attention whore which leads me to not necessarily believe what she is saying.

    Interesting silence on the "king" of all abusers...WJC. I mean, come on, The prez and an intern? I'm not at all surprised that ugly men in a position of power use it to get nooky...been happening... in like...forever. The problem is the women who submit to it. Now if there is intimidation or assault, that's another matter. In most cases the women figure they will get something out of it that they otherwise couldn't get. After the fact they are all victimized and sh*t. Didn't work out the way you figured???? Better luck next time. Choose wisely!
    I can't wait for this current fad to run its course.

    So this clown just had a lapse of good judgment?... thinking the photo was funny.. yet we should trust his judgment to be good enough to run the country....

    He's a comedian, one I've never found to be all that funny so using your criteria all his jokes are a lapse in good judgment and therefore he shouldn't be a part of running the country. Personally I don't give a shit about that at all, I totally disagree with his thinking on most every subject and that is why I think he shouldn't be a part of running the country. I don't care a bit about a stupid photo.

    So if it was your daughter, you wouldn't give a shit.. about some jackass either acting like he was grabbing her boobs or he actually did it.. who really knows?

    Personally, I don't think it was any lapse.. I think he is an asshole, who acts like an asshole and is use to getting away with it under the shelter of "I'm a Comedian"

    Nope, wouldn't care a bit. I'd never have a daughter that fragile or easily offended. Now, she might have kicked him in the nuts for the picture but so be it.

    I never said it was a lapse, you did. I never said he used good judgment in anything, again, your words. I think he is an asshole and probably does get away with shit because he's famous. All I've said is I don't see the picture as any sort of assault or even anything that is a remotely big deal.

    If you want to see delusion, go check the thread on reddit. All the liberals calling this a political move, but all of the republicans are legit claims. Its so sad people are blinded by partisan politics. No wonder nothing ever gets accomplished.
