    Nope. Wrong. victim blaming doesn't cut it...for right wingers or left

    HOWEVER...at worst here...is an inappropriate kiss between adults. The picture was clearly a joke..the kiss may not have been.

    There was no further incidents like this between them Franken did no harm to her career nor threatened to.

    He was NOT a Senator at the time (the distinction being made because his power as a Senator would have made this far more serious)

    Trying to compare this with Moore is dishonest at BEST. More was a full grown adult and an assistant DA. The girl in question was a FOUTRTEEN year old

    It is difficult to believe that a Playboy model was emotionally devastated by that photo.

    Well, she did say his tongue down her throat did leave a bad taste in her mouth.

    Here is how the MSM covers democrat wrongdoing.

    First it was, "Kevin Spacey comes out as gay!" Instead of, "Kevin Spaces attempts to rape 14yo"

    Now, "George Takei apologizes for joke" Instead of, "George Takei admits to sexual assault"

    The photo of Franken coming on to that woman is no different than the proof of Moore’s sexual harassment.

    The Pic is up On Drudge.In full color.Very professional
    photo clearly showing Franken with a ridiculously wide devilish grin as
    he uses his bare hands to grope a gal seated in a cargo plane
    while taking a snooze.

    Franken welcomes an Ethics Investigation.Nice try Smalley but No
    cigar.That could easily take over a year.How long did Maxine Waters
    ethics probe last.
    Plus { and this is key } an Ethics Investigation only involves
    activity while Franken was an elected official.Franken wasn't elected
    until 2009.How odd that he started serving alongside fellow Minnesotan
    Amy Kloubuchar who just had a piece of legislation introduced and
    passed a week ago.A Bill concerning mandating Sexual Harassment
    training for all members of the Senate.The Kloubuchar-Grassley bill.

    Here is how Irony works.As the very sensitive and gentle Stuart
    Smalley it was actually his Brother and Father who Molested him.
    He was the sissy in the family.According to the character of Smalley.

    Doesn't matter - he should resign. Stop trying to defend sexual harassers just because they have the same political position as you have.

    Great point! I forgot about Slick Willy. Finally, finally, people are not defending Bill Clinton's sexual harrassment anymore. Finally.

    The fact that Franken MAKES FUN of sexual harassment makes it even worse - he just doesn't get it! If Roy Moore had made fun of Roy Moore's sexual harassment it would be even worse than it is, obviously. Don't give a sexual harasser a pass just because he's a comedian who makes fun of sexual harassment.

    One reason is that Many of Slick Willy's Spin Doctors are no
    longer in Politics.Like Doug Hattaway,Ann Lewis { Barney Frank's sister }
    and Julian Epstein.Lanny Davis was just on - Hannity - last week.
    And of course Geraldo Rivera who hosted a 9 pm CNBC
    hour during the Lewinsky Scandal virtually every night debating
    if Clinton will ever be Impeached.Geraldo ended each night betting
    that his hero { Bill Clinton } will never get Impeached.

    That's right.Franken seems to think that since the Democrat Party
    who he's a member in high standing Hardly ever take their own members
    to task,let alone fire them it's ok then to downplay the hot water's he's in.
