UPDATE: Franken resigns from Senate

Zoo Animals on Wheels.

My favorite part of the series was Bob Elliot playing the dad.

[EDIT] The hot wife of Chris' friend was nice, too.

 

We're really calling Al Franken a sexual predator now?

 

You are right, of course, but how sad is it that sentence? This is where we are.

 

That's where we're at now. Sepp Blatter "sexually assaulted" Hope Solo. Donald Trump "admitted to sexual assault." Roy Moore is a "child molester."

The world is one big over-charging prosecutor.*

* Not applicable to Ben Affleck, who was just gettin' him a little somethin' somethin'.

 

My words mean things.

 

I’m not in a courtroom or a newsroom.

Do I need to preface everything I write with, “In my opinion...”? Here goes:

In my opinion, Al Franken is a sexual predator. My opinion is informed by the volume, content and context of the accusations.

In my opinion, Roy Moore is a child molester. My opinion is informed by the volume, content and context of the accusations, all of which are public knowledge prior to an election that he will win.

 

How'd that guy get a reputation for being smart?

 

At some point liberals will realize they don't want to live in a world where we use the same word to refer to a guy who made a disrespectful/unwanted advance and a serial rapist. Even equating Franken with Moore or Bill Clinton diminishes the gravity of what the latter two were/are accused of.

Franken clearly has some issues with boundaries and/or social cues, but the most recent accuser wrote a 1,000 word story about how he touched her on the waist. That's a lot different from luring a 14-year-old away from her mother and undressing her, or taking advantage of a position of power to get a blowjob from an intern.

 

LOL. No they won't.

 

It's a tactic, fueled by social media. Changing the meaning of "white supremacist" was another example, the one that got Jemele Hill in hot water. Liberals aren't on an island here, though. Witness Trump's use of "fake news" 150-plus times on Twitter in the last year.

 

In my opinion, your opinion does a huge disservice to victims of actual sexual predation.

"I once woke up in a drug-induced haze to Bill Cosby having unconsensual sex with me."

"I know your pain all too well. Al Franken once put his hand on my ass for 10 seconds while my husband was taking a picture of us." #metoo
