all parties. Franken has apologized for crossing the line in the 'flak jacket' incident, but not the French kissing as far as I know. All tempest in a tea party anyway.

But Moore and Trump with their 2 dozen accusers should not be spoken of again...because theh have not apologized? Deplorable.

Accusation first, investigation later is the way it works. Confession or no confession.

that she's not actually humiliated by kissing and groping in a humorous context.

I understand on and off-stage make a difference, but if she's playing a persona that's fine with grinding her booty and grabbing ass "for the lulz", and if she really was asleep in that picture, it sort of makes a lot more sense how Franken was "playing along" and thought that picture would be fine, especially if he's doing the "boob hover" where it appears he's pretending to grab for a posed picture but not actually touching her so he wouldn't actually disturb her sleep.

Rude thing happened, apology happened (after she decided to be offended 11 years later) and that's as far as it needs to go. This is not sexual assault for which Franken needs to be investigated and removed from the Senate and dragged into court (as all the righties on Twitter seem to believe).

Looks like another apology is in order, don't you all think?

definitely not a method actor. Anyone who can't summon real tears on command shoudn't waste their time acting. The "dry cry" has doomed many an actor, both male and female.

... yes, she does act flirty. And no, I do not really see a problem with the Franken photo. I do see a general problem with both male and female behavior,

But generally in this world, SHE has the right to dress and act and behave as SHE chose on a stage. And she also has the right to decide how to behave with who and where, and the right not to be groped outside of what is scripted for her persona on stage. And so do you and I.

I started watching the tv shows this Sunday, Willie Geist and now am waiting for Joy Reid's show. So far, no mention of this video.
The other video of her and the country western singer slappin ass is enough proof that this was a set-up probably by Roger Stone the fucktard who really supports the Groper-in-cheif. He's done shit like this before.

in this case I can see as a probable. I am sick of women making claims of harassment that casts doubt on all cases such as this. I AM NOT in doubt about the cases of the rape of women and 14 year old girls by the types of hypocrite sexually predatory criminals like judge Roy Moore.
