Ummm, that wasn't "flirting."So no more flirty old white male politicians? Because that's all he did was flirt and be a pig. Let his voters decide. Same with Roy Moore constituentsI don't like what Franken did and I don't excuse it, but it was not an abuse of power. For some reason, he thought he was funny. The kiss thing? You want a man who has served capably as a Senator to lose his position for a kiss during a rehearsal? He was being a total jerk but he was a comedian full of himself and his jerkiness. People elected Franken knowing about his unfunny comedy.Grudgingly, I would encourage senator Franken to resign.....
Although I think that Franken's bad behavior toward women pales in comparison to Moore's lechery with young teens....and
Although I think that Franken has been an exceptional senator.....
I want him to resign for TWO reasons:
First, the governor of MN is a democrat (Dayton) who would appoint another democrat to fill Franken's seat......
Second, I do NOT want for the surely upcoming ads by democrats for the 2018 midterm run, to be less attacking to republicans for either electing (or almost electing) a pervert like Moore.
In 2018, Moore will be the "poster boy" for everything that is wrong in the Trump swamp....including the orange swamp creature himself.
Ps. Hw bush was an ass pincher
It is NOT THE SAME situation with Moore. I've said it a hundred times and I'm not spelling it out again, but if you take a gander at the allegations against each man, I'm sure you can figure out the differences.
I think it's too bad that Moore is willing to flush the Republican party down the toilet to protect his own ego, but that is exactly the kind of guy who would date minors half his age for several years without making a secret about it. Blind chutzpah.
Frankin was definately flirting. The only difference between what he did and what Donald Trump did with Melania is Melania ended up marrying the dirty old man.
Remember Melania shot don down just like this girl shot Al down. But Don persisted until he got that date. Al persisted until he got that WILLING kiss. She can say she didn't want it now and of course we believe her because look at him and look at her but the fact is she kissed him WILLINGLY. Then afterward on the plane ride home she fell asleep and he kept up with the good old boy bullshit. And she was embarrassed when she saw the picture of her sleeping and that ugly fat old man simulating honking her breasts.
Was his behavior appropriate? The only thing inappropriate was the simulated honking. If you think this is the last dirty old man who's going to hit on a girl half his age, wake the fuck up. We love young women. That's why the age of consent is 18 even if you are 50 years old.
