Next up! Al Franken

[Not My Real Name]

The night before I left for my Army assignment in Germany when I was 19, my girlfriend took a Polaroid photo of me reclining on a couch in my parents basement, wearing my Army dress hat and a strategically placed pillow.  And nothing else.  Come to think of it, I lost my virginity that night too.  Women can't resist a man boy in uniform.

I didn't have a hat handy. Or a pillow.

Apparently cause they resisted you for the 19 preceding.

Flunked that Wit seminar again eh?

Time you just gave up and accepted that your are witless.

Curious side note the Boy with the wind tunnel hair is Malia's presumed romantic interest.  

You still butt hurt that you never graduated from MIT?

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

Speaking of Harvard, how did Jared get accepted there?  We need to see his transcripts.

I'd like to see Hillary Jack's transcripts to see if he left MIT on his own or got tossed.

Word on the street is he got tossed for an unfortunate incident involving, among other things, seer stones and a rather nubile, yet gullible co-ed.  Apparently animal control retrieved a 6' boa constrictor and 2 dogs as well.

I heard there was something about a well-lubricated cannon barrel that caused quite a scandal.

I thought it was his Aristocratic background...

 

[Ishmael]

No eels? Couldn't have been much of a party.

The Aristocrats is the heart of the story and why the well-lubricated cannon is central to it all.

Was that the same animal control people that retrieved the eel?

That was Tommy Gun.

If trump resigns because of the 16 women who have accused him of sexual assault, I think Franken should hand in his resignation shortly thereafter.

Waiting for Trump to demonstrate the right thing to do may require some patience.

There's only one "R"ight thing to do, and the Pride of New York did it a few years back when he put the R behind his name.  He can do anything he wants other than switch that R to a D, and people of principle will continue to avoid and/or rebut criticism of him.  

Heh. You tricked Sol into replying to my post, KIS.

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

Not really.  Sen. Franken's picture is sophomoric and at a time when we as a society are starting to take women's accusations seriously instead of ignoring them, provides evidence to argue in favor of his resignation, which I have advocated. It's a close call for me, because his hands are clearly not on her tits, and if she really was asleep, she likely never knew about the picture until seeing it, and quite likely being humiliated by it.  That's enough for me.  

Sen. Franken himself has spoken about that picture specifically, and apologized for it, while noting that he remembers other events differently than Ms. Tweeden.  Dog, and others like him who seek to move the football after the tackle, while there is still a pileup, would have you believe that Franken admitted groping because of his apology.  Bullshitters gotta bullshit.

The fact that Roger Stone is in any way involved in this should tell anyone that there is a substantial amount of bullshit involved here.  

The rationalization begins. First attack the accuser. Throw out all the possible motives. Each one will resonate with a few more. Then mitigate and laugh off the offense. Stage Kiss. I like that one. If the Stage Kiss in question is Gene Simmons then I guess the tongue is a given. 

The flack vest is another good one. So what is the legal fabric thickness here to negate a copped feel? 

The thing here is we all know Al Franken and he is such a decent guy that this must have been truly out of character for him. I can't imagine he ever did this to anyone else. 

No way this was a pattern of behavior. 

Some good stuff in this thread.  Too bad Dog's Franken thread disappeared.

Too bad @Nailing Malarkey Too, or whatever name he has used or will use, lacks the integrity to respond to you.

I think it was Dog's Roy Moore thread that "disappeared"

That's right.  Some good standards to review in that case too....

You sure do know that playbook Dum Dum.  You seemed to think it was bad in this case.  

Yoo Hoo.
