Ugh!

Leeann Tweeden is out there publicly crushing Franken. This is brutal, but Franken is a sanctimonious prig so I'm enjoying it.

But Im glad you said words are sexual harassment, which we could apply that logic to our sitting president.


Please provide the post where I stated he was groping her....maybe you need to keep up with your own posts.

I mean, we let Romney run for President when there were some odd stories about him out there - 1) strapping the family dog to the roof of their car, and 2) that gay kid that him and his buddies in high school pinned to the floor and cut his hair.

And amen to your post as a whole!
Romney didn't need anyone's permission. He meets the minimum qualifications set forth in the Constitution.

Not if she was part of the photo shoot on the plane. We will just have to wait and find out, huh?

The woman involved did today on The View.

For argument's sake, lets say everything else = the same....except Franken = a Republican. In that case, the women on The View wouldn't have accepted Franken's apology....and I'm not a Republican.

That is interesting. I'll have to go read up on it.

Weird. Yes.

Well, Roger Stone was chattering behind the scenes about it days before it dropped and I do think the timing of the release was politically motivated. I dunno what the accuser was thinking. Maybe she had wanted to come out with it for awhile and people with more power than her urged her to hold on to it until an opportune time, and she trusted their counsel. Who knows?

The women on The View....with the possible exception of Meghan McCain...wouldn't accept Franken's (not specific to them) apology if Franken = a Republican.
