Al Franken accused of sexual harassment

[libertpaulian]

Anything short of Franken resigning today, before lunch, eliminates the Democrat moral high ground in the Roy Moore fiasco.

This.

Democrats: Unless you want a Senator who represents the toothless hillbilly coalition for 3 years, you'd better clean up this Franken mess post-haste.

Feel the Franken now seems really inappropriate now.

The TL is suspended indefinitely. I’m contemplating just outright ending it.

And he should resign.

Maybe you can do Can't Tar the 'Char? (Amy Klobuchar) instead?

Hate to sound all cliche or holier than [them], but what is wrong with these dudes?  It's one thing to make some regrettable statements or jokes with your buddies behind closed doors (still not "acceptable," but we all know it happens), but it takes a truly messed up man to think you can just do something - anything - to a girl that she hasn't given you a very clear sign that it's okay to do.  Obviously, I am QUITE naive, but that seems like common sense.

I know "politicians" encompass some of the worst people, but damn ... this is depressingly more widespread than I think most people would have liked to believe.

This is one reason why tribal partisanship is probably the worst social disease known to man.

Good to see no one is doubting or counter accusing the victim. A refreshing change.

Franken is a progressive Democrat from a historically progressive state, you see.

Damn, Jesse Lacey and Louis CK has better apologies...

Jesse Lacey as in Brand New Jesse Lacey?!?!?!

Man, looks like the title of your TL "Feel the Franken" has a whole new meaning after today...
