Tonight we hear that two other women have come forward accusing Al Franken of squeezing their butt cheeks. True? I do not honestly know. It does appear, however, that neither of the accusers claim to have been teenagers at the time of the alleged butt gropings.

At this point it seems that the sudden declarations are fabricated or contrived.

Has Franken been out there squeezing everybody's ass? What do you think?

I think there will be more.

Whitney Houston hasn't come forward with a complaint.
 
He cant remember but he's sure it didnt happen that way.
 
What the **** is a Booger McFarland anyway?

Booger is my favorite college football analyst. He played defensive tackle for and graduated from LSU and played in the NFL for Tampa and Indianapolis.

Booger is a terrific analyst on the SEC network and also on ESPN. He is incisive and his analysis is just bang on. He's just one of those talented guys who is very good at what he does, on the field and on the air.

Booger is also about 6'2" and 300 lb of pure muscle. Ain't no fat on Booger. If Al Franken had squeezed Booger's butt cheeks there would be no more Al Franken.

OK. Well, with a name like that, I expected him to be from a Lewis Grizzard column. :lol:

That photo sure as hell wasn't " contrived ", and the new allegations dont stop at butt grabbing.

Alledgedly Franken asked one of the women to follow him to a bathroom ?

I understand the temptation to say to oneself, damn! That wasn't okay at all! I should tell people about it!

However, my credibility quotient is based on how serious the assault/harassment was, was the victim silent out of fear (losing job, being shamed, being shunned, etc.), and is there real personal jeopardy now, when they finally come forward. They all know that their names may be dragged through the mud by one "side" or the "other".

Those accusing George H.W., Al Franken or others of being a butt pincher during photo ops I usually ignore. I'm not saying it didn't happen, and if it did it was certainly improper, but a clearly posed picture with everyone smiling broadly, usually surrounded by a large group of people would be a pretty dumb place to be frisky. I kind of smells like, Hey! I can get my name on tv because of that! I mean, damn, going back to Poppy Bush, when everyone knew he was a serial butt pincher as a dumb joke he'd pull on women he was friends with... even Barbara supposedly muttered once, "Stop that. You're going to get arrested some day."

How seriously do I take the current crop of butt-pinch stories? About as seriously as Barbara Bush took them about George.

Franken is not off the hook for the other incident, not by a long stretch. That guy clearly never learned where the line was, and with the forced kiss, stepped over it. Franken also never learned where the line of "funny" was, and clearly stepped over it with the groping photo, which appears to me to be a direct attempt to humiliate a woman who'd just rejected his advances. That is clearly outrageous.

The butt-pinch story? Not so much.

Do you really want to know what I think?

Look Risky what I think is women need to raise Hell at the time someone assaults them. Not decades or years later.

When a woman does not speak up when it happens she allows a predator to assault other women in the future.

Mark Levin is someone far from your political leanings yet one of his programs recently covering the "code of silence" in Congress over sexual harrassment was awesome.

Diana Degette a Democrat Congresswoman from Colorado gave an interview on MSNBC over sexual abuse she has encountered as a Congresswoman.
One was over a French Diplomat putting his hand up her dress at a dinner or Democrat Bob Filner who left Congress to run as mayor of San Diego and then resigned in shame over sexual abuse charges.

I hope you listen to it because if this Congresswoman from Colorado would have spoken up earlier she would have saved several women from being violated after she was by the same person.

Well, tomorrow I'm calling a news conference to announce that every single sitting member of Congress grabbed my ass 17 years ago, and they should ALL resign or be impeached.


(This is too good an opportunity to pass up, we could really use a clean sweep)
 
Waiting for Joe Barton defenders. Anyone ?

Good idea! I'm right "behind" you.

:lol: Hell, Barton is just massively relieved it was only a viral video of him posing naked and sending it to consensual adult women! In 2017, politicians, etc., are going, "Oh thank god, it's only those dick pics."
 
OK. Well, with a name like that, I expected him to be from a Lewis Grizzard column. :lol:

LOL Agreed. If Lewis was still around Booger McFarland might have ended up in a Grizzard column.

Somehow I think if Lewis was still with us the world would be just a little bit more tolerable. It would for you and me and the other Lewis Grizzard fans. I know that much.

You have to wonder how many women consented after having seen pictures of Barton's :laughat: johnson. Some things can't be unseen. :eek:

Damn straight. I can't even look at a piece of catfish without thinking about that damn dog.
 
I'm feeling a little left out...

Oh, IDK. Regular Joe Blow pulled that **** they almost assuredly would get called on it. An ex-pres or a senator/celebrity they can get away with that, at least up till now. Trump wasn't wrong in his hot mike moment with Billy Bush. Both of these new women had their story corroborated with people they had told about it at the time. Is the butt grabbing on par with what Roy Moore is accused of, hell no. But, **** em, they don't deserve a pass. It shows a profound disrespect for others. I Hope their little thrills and adrenaline rushes were worth it to them.

Saying anything at the time would have done absolutely nothing, especially with a butt grab. People have known about the "casting couch" for literally forever and no one cared, listened or was willing to do a damn thing to stop it. Now however people are listening, so why not come forward?
 
The Left is circling the wagons around Franken.

I disagree that no one cared. Using Congresswoman as an example, she is a woman in power and not someone on the "casting couch". When Congressman Filner cornered her in an elevator, she should have reported it at least to the ethics committee. But she did nothing. Filner decided not to run for re-election to the House but for mayor of San Diego and being a predator continued his behavior toward several women. If Degette would have reported Filner there would be a public record of allegations of sexual misconduct along with an investigation. Those records are scoured for misbehavior every time someone runs for office and brought up during his campaign for mayor. But because she did not report anything Filner went on to win his race and later several women who had to endure his lewd behavior were not women in power like Degette, who did come forward and brought about Filner resigning and pleading guilty to false imprisonment and two battery charges. This didn't happen decades ago but in 2013.

How on earth can people stop electing predators if women don't speak up and make it known they are predators?

That's one slippery sumbitch. In for a butt squeeze and gone again.

As long as he doesn't try to squeeze UGA's butt I'm good. UGA don't like no ass grabbing. Go Dawgs!
