1. Sounds like it was same kissing routine in the USO act for years

2. Even the wording is pretty much the same.

3. I'm glad people are finally picking up on this. It's the same routine for years.

There is even some audience interaction when GI's come on stage and get to interact with the actress there and that usually involves some kind of feigned humping action. Even Tweeden knew that drill when she humped some guitarist in another clip.

One of the biggest tells I had with her story is that she hasn't called out that whole USO operation as being misogynistic. She only tries to nail Al Franken when there is a whole history that contributes to the hyper-charged atmosphere where women are seen as humping material and apparently men, as well, since she was humping one herself.

She should do the right thing and fulfill the RW agenda to have the USO skits turned into a prayer session with the GI's where they can all bond over God. Let's see how that goes over. Why be a hypocrite and only single out Franken for behavior that has gone on for decades at those events.

4. "have the USO skits turned into a prayer session with the GI's where they can all bond over God"

because nothing says R&R more in a combat zone like a reading from Leviticus

5. Rule #1 of GOP Smear Campaigns: The allegation is all that matters

And that's all they'll ever discuss, for time immemorial.

The facts will bear out the truth, that Franken was simply a player in a misogynistic theater act, but that will never stop the propaganda machine from spewing out its half-truths and hypocrisies.

6. So happy to not be on the "dirty tricks" team!

How do they live with themselves?

Gross.
