Al Franken is latest to be accused of sexual assault

RE: Al Franken is latest to be accused of sexual assault
I should not be be surprised that people who seek power, also seek to use it in despicable ways. I'd say we deserve better leaders, but that seems to be increasingly untrue.

FWIW, I also find Louis CK's apology to be insincere.

If I may ask, what would a 'sincere' apology look like?

Somehow if these accusations were against Ted Cruz or another Republican you'd be using a different tone.

The daily mail needs a better proof reader. Did any of you catch it?

Hell, I need a better proof reader. Edit to fix.

Roy Moore didn't just cop a feel, man.  He hit on a 14 year old.  Try to keep things straight, if possible.

And if there is a sleazier motherfucker in the western hemisphere than Cruz it can only be the WLB himself.

And picture shows what he's willing to do in front of other folks. What's he doing when no one is watching ??

IMO, regardless of who is implicated in this ever widening cluster fuck, regardless of their utility (or disutility) to our favorite causes and movements, we HAVE to side with the victims.



Disclaimer:

Just 5 months ago I favorably reviewed Franken's recent book here, I also see I semi-endorsed him for a presidential run in 2020. Doesn't look like I have been 'out to get him' all along, so take my disgust with him and his conduct now as the real deal. I'd like to think getting on my shit list is something I adjudicate fairly, although I note to some here it apparently looks as though I don't . . . .

Fair enough, but that wouldn't be public, would it?  As far as public apologies go, CK's was a better one than most (and at least took full responsibility for what he did).

Hmm.

Anyone coming out ahead of a revelation?

That would shake things up.

Senator Lardbottom has press con this afternoon to announce he's the one doing this:

I hope you are kidding.
