RE: More News about Al Franken
lol.. the accusations against Moore are in a different league. Franken did nothing illegal - unless of course he did grab her tits while she was asleep and not just pretended to do - while Moore allegedly did the following to a 14 year old:
At a subsequent meeting, also at his home, he touched her over her bra and underwear, then removed his clothes and had her touch him over his 'tight white' underwear.
Keyword there is 'allegedly'...Moore said it never happened.
oddly enough there is no proof...no evidence at all.
Al Franken admitted to doing it...NOT just accusations..
Well, the Franken case depends on whether he grabbed her boobs or just pretended to do so. Did he admit to grab her boobs or just the rest? I interpreted it as pretended to do so to make a bad joke. But if he did it, he's definitively out.
The case of Moore is more difficult and would need a trial - or it's too long ago. 16 years old is the latest accusation against him. Do you know how long charges can be pressed? If nothing can be proven, I guess he's off the hook. But given the current climate, his reputation will be gone for good.
edit
They say he touched them sexually and since the girls were 14 and he was an adult, there is no such thing as consent.
If that's true, it is sexual assault. If it is too far in the past, he's off the hook but it does leave a bad taste, unless he can prove he's not guilty (which seems impossible).
forty years ago?
why did they wait until NOW to come forth?
why not when he was running for any of the SEVERAL political offices that he ran for in the past?
he's been in politics his whole life..they had infinite opportunities to 'out' him before now.
it looks like there's another one
Al's secret is out.
Why do you ask me that? I'm not a woman. I don't know what's going on in their minds. They probably forgot about it themselves because it wasn't much of a deal for them, until they recently remembered it.
For example, through a crazy coincidence I met Michael Jackson once as a young kid and therefore knew he wasn't allowed to be alone around children because everyone warned me about it, but I forgot about the whole thing until he died.
yep. He's a little creep and the best thing: The detonations are close to Bill Maher. Can't wait to see him break out in sweat^^
