Senator Al Franken Kissed and Groped Me Without My Consent, And There’s Nothing Funny About It; Another liberal, groping their way to the top

In December of 2006, I embarked on my ninth USO Tour to entertain our troops, my eighth to the Middle East since the 9/11 attacks. My father served in Vietnam and my then-boyfriend (and now husband, Chris) is a pilot in the Air Force, so bringing a ‘little piece of home’ to servicemembers stationed far away from their families was both my passion and my privilege.

Also on the trip were country music artists Darryl Worley, Mark Wills, Keni Thomas, and some cheerleaders from the Dallas Cowboys. The headliner was comedian and now-senator, Al Franken.

Franken had written some skits for the show and brought props and costumes to go along with them. Like many USO shows before and since, the skits were full of sexual innuendo geared toward a young, male audience.

As a TV host and sports broadcaster, as well as a model familiar to the audience from the covers of FHM, Maxim and Playboy, I was only expecting to emcee and introduce the acts, but Franken said he had written a part for me that he thought would be funny, and I agreed to play along.

When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd.

On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’

He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.

When he gets to four or five credible accusations we'll talk

Does she have any collaboration? Others saying the same thing? Witnesses?

All it takes is a few bucks of payola and then you have multiple accusers....

Franken is a Clinton superdelegate who helped rig the primaries against Bernie. Screw him.

I think one example of photographic evidence outweighs several unverified accusers.

The standard playbook of the Right ... yabutism

Franklin may have pushed too far with this woman. The picture shows him clowning when she is in a flack jacked. Hardly sexual harassment. It more reminds me of the Bob Hope USO skits I watched as a kid.

If he pushed the skit/rehearsal too much then apologize (he did) and move on. If other women come out and demonstrate a pattern, like there is with Moore and Weinstein and others, then he gets condemned and his political future is in question.

Right now the Right is grasping for anything they can to try and get the attention off the sinking ship USS Moore

The Moore opposition tactic is backfiring, now they are releasing fake polling to try and disenfranchise voters.

Reality is hitting you fast Buckfan.

No he does not. There needs to be a lot more to establish a pattern.

I addressed the photo. She is in a flack jacket and he is clowning. I don't even think it is in poor taste given the situation.

How is it a fake poll? It may be wrong (and probably is) but fake means they did something intentionally.

BTW that is a RNSC poll so it was done by the Republican party.

Most polls show Moore up 5-10 pts.

The woman he groped (aka sexually assaulted) in a professional work related setting while she was sleeping feels otherwise....

Only one way this can play out....

Franken resigns today or tonight so the MSM can get back to Roy Moore.

There is no other play. MN gov is a Democrat, so new Dem senator sworn in by Saturday.

That picture does not show her being groped, he is not touching her. He is acting like he is which is funny since she is in a flak jacket.

Like I said, I remember "humor" like this on the Bob Hope USO tour shows of my childhood.

Franken has apologized for making her uncomfortable. Unless more cases like this come to light with Franken and it appears he has a history of abusing women and his relationship with them then we move on.

When this happened he wasn't in the Senate. Hard to see how the Senate ethics panel has any sway in this.
