It's okay now for grown men to date 14 year old children because Al Franken ...

acted like an immature doofus frat boy, by posing for the camera pretending to be groping a sleeping journalist

I guess that's what we're supposed to believe, that it's now okay to elect a child molester to the Senate.

Republicans are reaching for anything to grab onto because they are in complete freefall

They're about to lose a Senate seat in Alabama.

she reads the news on a right wing radio show. Her resume includes Hooters, Fredericks of Hollywood, Poker After Dark, and as a guest on Hannity.

What I find interesting is Franken is the one who's calling for an investigation into this, Ms. Tweeden doesn't feel one is necessary, and considering that Roger Stone tweeted about this before it was actually released. I have a feeling this political theater will lead back to Hannity funding this.

This Al Franken thing proves Sessions was "truthin'", there was no collusion and the Russians weren't there.

The whole thing is solved.

Somehow this is supposed to legitimize a lowlife like Moore, that's why I find this entire situation so bizarre.

What Al Franken did was stupid, what Moore did is criminal and predatory

I haven't heard anyone on either side of the aisle saying that the allegations being made against Senator Franken make what Roy Moore did OK.

the narrative is ... Al Franken apologize so that proves he's guilty and Roy Moore is innocent because there is no proof ... even though the Washington Post laid out all the prove in full unimpeachable detail with 30 witnesses to back it up.

Even though it's still a staged gag and not a sexual assault, it's still pretty immature.

I'm more interested in finding one who is behind pushing her to leak it, since Roger Stone seemed to know about it before it was released.
