Showing Original Post only (View all)Here's another thing that bothers me about Franken's assassination: the photo [View all]
Everyone (especially the right wing) pretends it is evidence of him groping Tweeden. Even though it clearly doesn't show that.
Ok, people say. Well, Al posed for the photograph and was acting like a jerk and it wasn't funny.
Here's the thing - Al wasn't being a jerk in the photograph. He was pretending to act like an asshole to get laughs. Like "aren't people who would be creepy like this ridiculous"?
I know this is too many layers deep for people in the MSM.
It's not a picture of him groping someone
It's not even a picture of him sincerely pretending to grope someone
It is him pretending to be an asshole who would grope someone ... for a laugh.
Kind of like Stephen Colbert pretending to be a right wing asshole. For laughs.
Kind of like Kelsey Grammar pretending to be a pretentious asshole. For laughs.
Whatever. The guy's being crucified on the altar of GOP hypocrisy.
