Appreciation thread for Franni Bryson Franken

[TexasTowelie]

No matter what anyone thinks about the veracity of the various accusations against Al Franken, she has to be going through a difficult time seeing the media exposure about her husband of 42 years. The fact that we haven't heard any rumors about her seeking a separation or divorce says a lot about Al Franken's character and whether the person that knows Al best believes in him.

Here's to Franni--please think of her!

3. Yes

11. She's knows Al better than anyone....

and I know that can be said of any spouse, but living with Al is a special "treat", and she knows what Al is all about.

I feel so strongly about this that I increased my monthly donation to Al's re-election campaign, and I live in New York!

9. Franken is almost in tears, talking about his wife's family

The whole video is under 4 minutes, but he starts talking about his in-laws around 1:10

12. Been thinking about her a lot recently.

I wanted to put up a thread about her, but you did a much better job than anything I had thought of.

Here's to Franni Franken.

13. It's just a few words from the heart.

Those are the easiest ones to write.

14. Early in his first campaign for senate

I found myself next to Franni at an event. We had a great chat, she's a lovely woman.

[TexasTowelie]

15. I think that she has handled this whole fiasco with grace and composure.

I appreciate that she let Al respond to the situation rather than going public with the media.

16. He has always referenced her in conversations through the years.

One could tell that he loves and respects her. The man is not a sexual predator. The thing he has done that stinks is to use women as props for his comedy.
