It’s heartening to know that Republicans call for the same sort of rigor in regard to their own. Oh wait…
This is not good news. I suspect there will be more accusations, some true perhaps but many not. It will be too easy to do in the current environment, and Franken may get railroaded.
If there are women who worked with Franken who have a good word to say, I hope they come forward. I fear he’s going to need it.
Republicans shouldn’t get too happy. For one, it really forces the issue on Roy Moore should he get elected. Secondly, I highly doubt they’re all saints on that side of the aisle. Only a matter of time before we hear something or so I think.
What grade was she in?
Man, the poop is about to hit the fan.
Lots of allegations against lots of Congressmen, followed by lots of official investigations.
Exactly considering the climate we are in now everyone needs to ask themselves have they ever touched someone inappropriately without their permission. If the answer is yes, they need to get out in front of it before the person decides to tell their story
I can see a lot of folks going down on this one on both sides
That is what we need ethics probes of actions as civilians.
Plus we have a this women that wants to show how weak she was as a person that she couldn’t simply say no to a script for a skit. So by extension we expect Demi Moore should now bring rape charges against Vigo for the GI Jane rape scene because women do not have the power to choose to do a part in a movie or not. Also for gods sake keep the women separated from the males in school, work and places of worship, perhaps some clothing will help tamp down the testosterone like the clothing muslim women wear.
Both parties tripping over themselves to investigate sexual harassment by federal office holders?
Excellent!
We’ve finally reached the moment of critical mass.
Get Al Franken in the docket straight away.
Right next to Clarence Thomas and Donald Trump.
Go for it, Congress – this is your chance to shine!
They should ask if the courted outside the strictures of the Amish if yes then resign.

I hate to say this, but I think eventually the powers that be are going to decide enough powerbrokers have been brought down and they’ll declare a “truce” or draw a line that says if you did something before this date, you’re forgiven.
Power loves to self-perpetuate itself. It’s important we fight to ensure that justice prevails.
While Democrats wet the bed about whether Franken should be the first senator in the history of Congress to resign over an unwanted kiss and an icky photo of him almost but not quite touching somebody’s breast, the news ticker informs me that the House has passed a $1.5 trillion tax cut for the rich. Priorities are so tough.
I believe time decay of the value of something is referred to as its delta. The shock value of the Prankin’ Franken scandal probably has wobbly legs at best. But it has great value while it’s delta is high.
For example, the House just sodomized 320 million Americans, but only a bit of grumbling about that. And what about Hillary and Benghazi? Aren’t we ever going to get to the bottom of this.
Am I missing something? This incident is described as “groping” and if the picture taken with Franken is evidence of this I think this is a misuse of the word. Bad taste? A bad joke? Inappropriate? I’d agree to any of that but in today’s environment describing this as “groping” is a bit much and a mischaracterization of this incident.
But no presidents or Supreme Court justices. And here’s an idea: How about only women can run for office, for a while at least? Just a suggestion …
The photo, to my knowledge, was not widely circulated until she did it herself, 11 years after the fact. She is so brave coming forward with this important information at this time.
does this mean that maxine waters is next?
Sessions must still have clout with the good ole boys to step up and give franken some crap to deal with as payback for busting his butt.
Not beyond these folks…
What ever happened to all of Donald Trump’s accusers? Where did they go? All of a sudden the crickets are chirping, since he took office. There were several women who had stories to tell about him and I taped recording of him laughing about grabbing women what’s up with that? He needs to answer for all of his indiscretions.
